"Developing a BASIC interpreter on the system was difficult, because the display alone used up almost all the available RAM. The solution to this problem was to store the BASIC program code in the video RAM."

Sums it up pretty well.

Just got thoroughly called out by this image

i'm glad the discourse evolved to "throw bricks at fascists" because for a while it was "throw milkshakes at fascists" and i could never. i'm trying to drink that

One of my litmus tests for a software product these days is that, if it has search, I should be able to search for a nonsense phrase and get an answer that says “no results”. Every website and app is so damn thirsty for clicks now that it will just show an infinite scroll of useless garbage no matter what I’m looking for, which means I can’t get “no results” and then refine my search quickly, I have to page through the “results” to see if they’re plausibly related to my query. Please stop it.

I read that #Meta has launched #Threads and many don't understand why it's not fully usable via the web but only through a dedicated mobile app. Meta isn't interested in letting us talk but rather in collecting as much data as possible. Browsers have become (more) skilled at protecting us, while apps can have almost complete access to our mobile devices, gathering data that an average person couldn't even imagine. And our mobile devices have become the safe (or should I say, the exposed pantry?) of our lives. #privacy #datacollection #SocialNetworks

I’m loving the Fediverse 🥰

Do not trust them personally: Hypothetically, imagine you're a Mastodon instance operator and you're contacted by some Facebook employee about a relationship between your instance and some Facebook project. Imagine this employee is nice, really Gets It, seems sincere. This employee doesn't actually hold any power! If you trust this person you'll find a couple years later the person you were talking to has either been suddenly replaced or that they cannot follow through on their promises.

I would like to strongly offer this advice:

- Do not trust Facebook, ever -

Do not trust them as a market participant: If you look at their company history, every time Facebook is afraid their MAU dominance will be challenged by some new platform, they just buy it. Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus.

Do not trust them as a platform: What Instagram users can tell you is once they have you locked in, the features you liked about your now-bought platform will disappear in favor of monetization
