@technomancy @jk i will legit pay for an official greggs linux. they've done christmas jumpers, come on, it's the next logical step
theres got to be a secret linux that i've never heard of, which costs $99, comes on two DVD-ROMs, has a team of hundreds of developers who have created a polished and professional distribution with good supported software and hardware, and has millions of happy users who don't ever experience anything even remotely like "xrandr command no longer working and your screens are in the wrong place after an update" or "sound not working after an update" or "updates not working after an update"
@mousefriend html and css? barely a few hundred kb, not mb. your mbs are in the images at best
at the resolution i want these posters the way tou downscale them makes a massive difference
@jk one of the things that pisses me off the most is webminidisc because finally we have software that lets you control netmd devices again without having to use 20 year old sonicstage but it requires chrome because they decied to build it as a webpage that can control your usb ports
every new and successively more inane javascript framework that came out in the last 15 years was another salvo for google's embrace-extend strategy to "make the web so Fucked Up that the task of creating a browser with less than 30 million lines of code becomes impossible", and you all fell for it! maybe like 9 web developers pushed back against the 25,000 monthly blog posts extolling the virtues of yet another new way to do something on a computer which they had already solved at xerox in 1977
@jk thats my secret cap. there are no good browsers left
i'm not crazy about the downscaling algo so i'm gonna play with it. i made it full res obv but it's narsty because it was meant to be downscaled
https://piston-meta.mojang.com/ is down so nobody can play minecraft at the moment 👍
@arielmt there have been some such cases with DJ chicken trouble for me
maybe bots are good at making other bots after all
re: Internet of Things
@arielmt jesus not to mention the privacy nightmare of putting your documents in someone else's hands
@angela it's rare when what you write doesn't
cuz like, here's the deal, okay
i actually sat down and caculated all mutual aid posts that i could find in the span of one hour of scrolling the hash
and the total number of money that would be needed to solve all of them would be around $100k, plus-minus 50k more.
that's less than half what was donated to harris. in mere DAYS.
this is what angers me the most - our pain is completely unnecessary, it's solvable, but it is manufactured by indifference, hubris and bigotry.
@angela oh thats beautifully put
