If I still lived in VIC I would have switched to flip phones years ago ..

Over a decade ago, I saw some girls with broomsticks playing "Quidditch" in a park in Knoxville, Tennessee .... this is dumber
Most big social media sites don't really have corporate investors. Facebook started the day after DARPA shut down their LifeLog program (coincidence or continuation?). FB also got money from Peter Thiel, one of the PayPal Mafia guys who has also backed Palantir (a company that sells domestic spying software suites to multiple nations) and Rumble
Nothing is really as it seems.
Fucking cumcast. Also, your friend should learn about seedboxes.
I knew there was a Web->Bluetooth that's been there for a while ... it's still terrible. Everything about the web, and by extension all of existence, is terrible. 🥲
What happened in Utah?
Web .. USB?! WEBUSB?!
Dear god everything is terrible.
I finished a post about keyboards:

Buckee's are pretty ridiculous, but you just gotta stop there. I didn't realize until recently they only service cars; no diesel semi-truck parking. Very delicious fudge too.
I like the juxtaposition of the vintage 80s train just across from the very modern cellphone mini-tower.
It's very cute.
The teacher should try separating them by blue eyes and brown eyes.
He had a lot of intentional limitations. 32-bit, and did he support protected mode? I have a feeling it didn't but it's been a long time since I looked at TempleOS.
When VIA bought Cyrix (and the Intel ISA license) they tried to add a second execution path for their own architecture that never went anywhere. I think it was at Defcon where someone discovered it and learned they could switch between the two modes and get Ring0 access on the CPU from user space; and this was an embedded chip found in tons of old point-o-sales devices.
x86_64 is a steaming hot pile of "there be dragons" inside there.
I'm sure it was a gradual thing. You get some donations and expand. I don't fault graf for trying to build something. Maybe trying to sell more subscription stuff earlier on would have helped, but the Internet has been in the "free" "gibs" means of operation since before the '01 dotcom bust.
Sites come and go. It is a pretty impressive instance deployment, I'll give it that. I know the NoAgenda guy funds his entire infrastructure himself and doesn't take donations (par the court for people who listen to the podcast and believe in the 'value for value' model).
I've quit my job to work on projects while travelling twice before. I lived out of hostels and visited friends for 11 months. I always ended up back in the workforce though. I got some adventures out of it. Graf seems to have gotten further than I have ... takes a lot of effort, and you gotta be a type-A hardass to make anything really take off in this world. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that.
