> i disagree here, apple's laptops have like one or two ports, and dongles are big, unwieldy, and you basically need to settle at a desk and set them up every time
I disagree with your disagreement because USB-C-to-<x> adapters are still USB-C-to-<x> adapters whether they are flush with the case or not. Also there's quite often enough room on the face of these ""cards"" (flush mounted dongles) that more I/O could have been provided than actually was. The headphone adapter for instance could easily have also fit a pass-through USB connector/hubbed connector as well, or much more simply just a line input TRS connector
The point about not having as many ports may be true but that's not why people call the mac a donglebook, they call it a donglebook because all I/O is just USB C ports.
me: 'hi, just here to let you know framework laptops are utter trash donglebooks that fix exactly one of the dozens of problems that plague modern laptops that you've fallen for the marketing for'
@foone try my site if you feel like it; i'm curious how that version of netscape handles it. especially the larger blog pages it currently has been tested in IE 5 but nothing older than that and seamonkey 1.x http://megatokyo.moe/blog/011_012.html
“The Amiga expects ‘byte swapped’ images” no; emulators expect byte swapped images. As in, you dump a rom and then you need to byte swap it for emulators to be able to use it. The fact that swapping the bytes renders ASCII strings legible does not change how they are stored on the hardware.
@mischievoustomato@feld@jiub also for some reason nazis being nazis in public hasn't seemed to turn people away from trump, so i'm not sure how much i really can agree with the premise anymore
@mischievoustomato@feld@jiub yes, i do see this phenomenon too. Often it is used to stigmatize minorities who have been swept under the rug by our current policies and thus have nothing to lose. There is something to be said for "finding things people have in common to bring them closer," for sure. But to be honest I used to be one of those people who distanced myself from the most radical/outspoken people. And eventually i started wondering what would lead someone to feel that way. And finding the answers to that radicalized me in turn.
@mischievoustomato@feld@jiub yeah, but if you look at overall turnout i think that can be attributed to dems picking the worst person possible for their ticket. someone who supports genocides and promises more of the same stagnation that the last four years yielded (at least for people like me). I did vote for harris but i 100% do not blame people who stayed home. i had enough of a struggle even getting out of bed to go vote due to my own depression over the state of US politics
@mischievoustomato@feld@jiub i mean, i interact with jiub rather frequently and to-date i still don't think i've turned to trump jiub is pretty nice honestly imo
This is a placeholder bio for the moment but i'm @wyatt8740@tech.lgbt . It's probably a good idea to follow me here if you follow me there.I'm migrating from tech.lgbt I think. I am getting annoyed with the infighting between instances I want to follow people on.I'm some kind of non-binary trans-feminine, but I'm not too worried about the specifics of my identity. I am me… whatever that means to you. :pI like old thing.<3 C, Unix, shell scripting, old electronics, emacs, & old cute cars.
