@botvolution he doesn't LOOK south asian... how can he be a Pundit?

@Alice you have cats now, right?

@inthehands worth pointing out is that in recent years, "violent protests" have been a result of the cops doing the violence.

@botvolution interesting. The Android client has no such setting.

@scruss in 2015 we had an extremely large wabbit in the living room. He was difficult to pick up, as he was 24 pounds.

@botvolution

@dalias I run 130beta1, and about:config works. But the regular 130.0.1 AND Firefox Focus 131 lock it out, which is annoying.

Blokada 5 works very well in this circumstance.

@botvolution it's still worlds better that whatever Amazon uses for Fresh orders, which still

- cannot be told not to display things that are out of stock
- does not recognize negation operators at all

@botvolution a LETTER?

@botvolution "WOT??"

@botvolution cool, if it's maybe a 1971 2002tii or something. Skinny tires FTW.

@botvolution is that name pronounced "fuck wok?"

@botvolution

@botvolution good choice.

@botvolution

What about real estate?

@lfa we pissed a lot of people off with that leasing stunt (Xerox had its own equipment leasing division), but I had shit to do and I wasn't gonna get it done on an old 820-II with a Diablo 620 daisywheel SERIAL printer and 8" floppies...

After they were worn out in office use, Xerox actually offered them for sale (used) to employees!

There are probably more Xerox CP/M machines around Rochester, New York than anywhere in the world. They're all in boxes in the garage.

@lfa the 8010, by the way, was interesting to fool with, but the Lisa 7/7 software (and later the "Mac XL" hack got the interface righter, in my opinion. And the only other thing on that Ethernet segment was the Xerox "Raven" laser printer. Without anybody to talk to, a Star is a lonely being. At least the Lisa had a modem and I could dial into all the Xerox online stuff (mainframes, other stuff) which Star could not.

Our Lisa had the internal hard disk, not the ProFile, and a 3.5" diskette.

@lfa i worked on a Lisa in 1985, like, for WORK, and at the last place you'd expect:

Xerox Corporation, the people who pioneered a lot of the shit that went into Lisa.

I liked it immensely, and have Apple gear to this day, as soon as I could afford it. 15 years later...

@botvolution yeah. For a while I probably had nine 1/8"-to-RCA adapter cables.
