@NeonPurpleStar @mcalel You think so but this is like when I considered getting a Gillig Phantom. I did some research first and... It's the maintenance costs that getcha! 😩

@thomasfuchs That sounds fast! I bet it has a lot more bandwidth than my Olympus camera that uses the serial port. 😔

I hope today was the last day of stress-inducing meetings for a while...

One anecdote they used for pro-RTO at the all-hands today was, "I saw someone in the hall and I could tell from her face that she was stressed out, so we talked about it. See? It's human connection!"

I wear a P100 FFM in public, tho, so... If you're a human being, and you can see me, I'm probably stressed.

@catsalad All these folks are recommending software solutions to what is obviously a hardware issue.

Have you tried replacing the capacitors?

@ryanhoulihan Now that I have money and autonomy, I would like to shop at CompUSA and browse the PDAs and chunky computers with lots of ports and boxed copies of simulation games that come with a bound manual that's 3 pages of instructions and someone's 300 page research essay. But it's like that novel. You can't go to CompUSA again. 😔

I have now joined the 21st century and am using Wireguard. It's on fleek. Now I can stay connected to Home Assistant from my (and soon my mom's) phone(s) without exposing HA to the Internet or paying someone money or hopping through their honeyp- I mean datacenter. Maybe other stuff, too.

I apologize if my adopting this means it immediately becomes cheugy and everyone migrates to something else. 😔

The opposite of Unity Desktop is Discord Mobile.

@filippo @FediThing @foone Yeah but if that's your criteria, you can host your own single-user instance and federate and still participate in the network.

@foone It might just be a quirk of my age and when I started/stopped doing web work for money, but IE6 is a lot scarier to me than IE4.

@silverwizard @dozens @screwtape phllogs are phlack

@alfredohno @tychotithonus They understood that she's using a trackball, and suggested she ditch it for one of the most hostile input devices going.

@ryanhoulihan The world as we know it is basically doomed so I think we should be entitled to a little existential hubris... as a treat!

@futurebird This but unironically.

@futurebird Finally found it... This was a collage I did for a digital art class I took back in school... if I'm not gonna share this now, then when?

@ryanhoulihan I know this pain. 😔

@libreleah lol apparently at least one person was confused: https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Boot-20230717

"Both GNU Boot and Libreboot continue to be managed by developer Leah Rowe."

@goatsarah @doot I only remember the parody lyrics.

It's suckin' up my dri~ve!
It makes the Pentium fi~ve!

I guess that's not much better.

@doot My favorite linux is Microsoft Windows NT 4 Workstation but I am partial to Windows 95.

@inthehands Fuzzers are back, folks! We're bringing fuzzers back! And in a much bigger way than I think anyone could've imagined! 😌
