Hello stranger! My ZX Spectrum chart has since been updated several times. This is probably the last version of it, at least from a western point of view.

I may one day cover the Eastern Europe clones and beyond, but I lack the necessary knowledge and it will take me a while to compile the needed information.

@dansup Not naming names, but... timely and helpful.

@Gargron @mosseri

We don't need to inter-operate with the antisocial web that harbours fascists.

@blogdiva

There's that, and there's also that it's the least bad of two choices according to capitalists, with the other choice being people refusing to live working in capitalism to feed the billionaires who made ONE EXTRA TRILLION DOLLARS off the pandemic. Namely: OUR work.

Of course they don't care if many of us die. Mind you, they don't fucking care if most of us die.

@mike Not sure this matches the description completely.

@atomicpoet @socialmedianews

It doesn't cease to astonish me how Americans, a people who place such a high value on the concept of private property, are so incredibly ignorant about it, and the most basic concepts of it have to be explained to them.

Astonishing. Absolutely incredible, unbelievable.

@mastodonmigration

Likewise, I concede that you are entitled to liking emptywheel's borderline conspira-tinfoily style.

@mastodonmigration

At times conspira-tinfoily style which detracts from some of the genuinely serious work they do.

Over all far more valuable without the stylistic emphasis.

@akkartik
Hi Kartik, ltns!
I was dragged back into the corporate world for a few years (insert Al Pacino reference about being dragged back in) and I'm afraid I'm not up to date regarding that particular space.

But I'm sure @mayel and @bhaugen can probably give fresher pointers!

The STICK function wasn't available on the ZX Spectrum. On the Timex Sinclair 2068 model, Timex replaced the #ZXSpectrum "pipe" character | with the token "STICK" under the S key.

It is just a cold hard fact that there is no pipe on the TS2068.

@Gargron Holidays is the answer. and if you can't take holidays, the answer is create the conditions so that you can take holydays.

@dansup They really are scared, aren't they.

This has to be the coolest HTTP 404 page in existence.

@feld I never go to Reddit because of people like that guy. Thanks.

Pink Floyd have just published for free on YouTube their 50-year anniversary remaster of The Dark Side of the Moon, as one single track, the full 42' 55" of the album.

Does anybody know what's the typical cost of infrastructure to run a 1000-user or 10,000-user instance?

#JohnMastodon when duty calls.

@evan That's really bad, and I have talked with Tom before and at the time he seemed to be happy. It's very unfortunate that some people haven't done their best. I wasn't referring to Tom when I posted that above.

Have these offending instances been defederated by the most popular instances, or is there a project to exchange red alerts?

@liaizon

@liaizon
I've seen a lot of complaints about the inconvenience of the federated architecture and how its design philosophy doesn't match the aspirations of certain specific African American groups, but I have not seen a shred of evidence that anyone is being deliberately or unwittingly marginalised, rejected, segregated, or disrespected by the Fediverse at large. Sure disgusting racists exist everywhere in the world, and we do our best to kick them out.
