It comes and goes… When the original MacBooks came out, especially with the Core 2 Duo, they were actually competitive with other manufacturers… Then the value started to lower until it wasn’t competitive anymore.

Hey don’t give up on 2024 yet

Funniest thing is they have a page for alternatives to their own site

I think you’re looking for a different type of community then, like an image board.

If I vote something I’m expressing my opinion just like I would with comment, and those are not anonymous.
I get that people are worried about griefers and psychos, but anonymity is just a (poor) cure for the symptoms, not for the disease; users who don’t behave should be banned, and if their instance turns out to be a detriment to the community, they should be defederated.

The anonymity we should ensure is the one of the person behind the username, to avoid doxxing and cyber-bullying.

Culture, to me, is the sum of activities of a group of people in a certain area during a certain period.

Aren’t games made by a group of people in a certain period? Historical artists produced commission work to live, is their art worthless because it’s made for profit?

You’re actually confirming their point about culture though. The fact that you couldn’t stop them doesn’t mean that it also happened to everybody else: some management may have listened. Linux users abhor adding weird shit to their OS, Windows users do it all the time.

There will be no consequences for those who made this choice because going with the biggest suppliers is never wrong: they in theory have the highest reliability, and even if they don’t, then it’s not just your problem but everyone else’s too, can’t blame those responsible when the outage is akin to an “act of God”

Now that’s a flashback that works for me

Winmodems

20 years ago was still xorg.conf times

The windows 11 installer couldn’t find any hhd partitions or hard drive, while FreeDOS could. After googling for a while I had to download an Intel Rapid Something driver from the manufacturer’s website and load it up when installing windows 11.

SATA drivers flashbacks

The website looks like it’s trying to sell me something

Nobody cares

IoC Internet of… Chandeliers? Critters? Cretins?

Yeah but I already had the frame (paid by my previous employer) since the pre-manual days, so I HAD to go self sourced !

Does it still need to reboot the guest in order to connect an USB device?

It took me over 15 days to build my self-sourced V2.4.
I had crimping PTSD for a while.

Mozilla are maybe the only company I’d trust with that

What distro? Tho if you’re an admin it should be multiple distros, no?
