@SuperDicq message history isn't a requirement though. Do you get upset that you missed a discussion your friends had when you weren't present? Upset that some folks at your local hangout had a discussion about "whatever" while you weren't there?
Maybe in some instances history is useful, but its certainly not a requirement and if it is there are multiple ways to solve it.
Clients could be better sure, good thing we have 'open source' and 'patches accepted'.

Remember kids:
IRC is free.
IRC is a open standard.
You can run your own IRC server.
IRC doesn't collect data on you and sell it.
You can still moderate your channels via invite, voice, and ban modes.
You can run a server on a 486.
IRC doesn't try to up sell you on "nitro".
IRC doesn't need to make money to make some VC happy.

lol Metallica is in Fortnite now. I think they should go listen to this great album by themselves, its called And Justice For All.

Lol don't do this. Where "this" is a LLM adding 10000 security checks that you don't understand and can't audit to one of the most audited and understood OS's.

Is there a GPL but with a anti-ai clause?
A license that forbids ingestion and reproduction from ai systems, but also follows the general gpl stance.

@mcc I think this follows the pattern of every other Windows release being one that people skip because its awful.
Will hold out for Windows12 to upgrade my gaming PC's OS.

Oh yuck. Even Gitlab is on the AI hypetrain now. Who needed this or wanted it?

Can I make 'Copy without site tracking' the default in Firefox? I hate that its a separate option.

I haven't ordered anything from Amazon in over 1 year, probably 2.
If I want to order a SSD and not worry about it being a fake, and have some ability to warranty/return what is the reputable place to order new computer hardware from these days?
I'm in the US.
The answers so far ranked in order of recommendations:
- B&H Photos
- Microcenter
- Best Buy
- Newegg
- Disk Vendor websites for direct orders

Remember folks.
When VC is funding Corporation that releases a Open Source project its only a matter of time until they take it back.
Their goal is to get their product embedded into your organization and abuse you for free work in the hopes they can eventually sell their corporation and cash out.
Its always good for them, and rarely good for you.

No. I don't think I will.

Considering that NetBSD and Linux have essentially dropped support for the 386 CPU, and other "vintage" hardware. Is there any _maintained_ and _actively developed_ BSD targeting vintage hardware?
I used to think that was NetBSD, but the minimum i386 compatible CPU supported these days is the 486.

I'm sure its already being archived, but damn the Hobbes OS/2 site is going down in April :( I downloaded so many things from that in the past.

@joelitics @dangoodin @lyda Ah ya, many systems of that era didn't have a build in RNG, and just getting SSLeay (precursor to OpenSSL) to compile was _an exercise_. Especially on "weird" systems like SCO OpenServer / UNIXWare, you had to hope that stuff was packaged on the Skunkworks CD's.

@carnage4life They could change this by giving shares to employees ;)

@roadriverrail You can press lots of fruit and make wine from almost any fruit / vegetable. You could be using it year round =)

Bought 20lbs of "deer apples" for $12. Processed 10lbs to make cider. Have pressed about 5lbs of it so far, our press is small and not very efficient. Will probably upgrade before next season, but we've learned a lot using this little press! We also need to pickup more carboys to store and ferment our cider. I see them frequently at estate sales so we'll add more over time.

@mcc Sounds vaguely like Meego.
