Threads app today is flooded with tons of obviously false news posts about Zuckerberg and Meta like zuck is dead, zuck is gay, zuck is californian arsonist, zuck sold meta, zuck is trans - all kinds of nonsense shit people posting, with pictures, because okay yeah, the US doesn’t need fact checking so lets blow it up through the roof then.

And its the perfect response to Meta’s bending the knee and bootlicking.

C64: Elite. the game is my personal number one as I played only Elite constantly for a long time, despite all other games available for C64.

Amiga: Chaos Engine, Transarctica.

486: Elite Frontier, Descent, Descent II.

so if it probably affects only a small number of specific hw platforms, you cannot state fedora as “now wait 40 seconds” distro.

i’m also not using the tmd chip, no issues.

an S3 Trio card.

same here, same time period. everything works. one have to be aware there’s no adobe or autodesk and linux is not windows same as osx is not, and it will not look or behave as windows. beside specific issues for some users, for me it works flawlessly.

one thing cannot grasp is willingness of so many to dual boot.

intel+amd, fedora gnome wayland, zero issues.

so you have to decide: you want websites inside their own window with a nice icon, or you want to get ridd of ads.

it would be cool if Brian S reads this now and PM you after all these years.

several years ago main road on my way to work was closed for a month. alternative routes was bad and worse, so i reluctantly ditched car and tried cycling instead because cycling route was okay, hoping i will somehow handle that one month.

quickly realized i’m rather enjoying cycling, month passed and i didn’t event thought about getting back in a car. i’m cycling ever since. commuting to and from work, cycling recreatively, doing 100km rides all around the area and the country, joined a club, enjoying every bit of cycling which makes me happy.

the road maintenance overall changed me, led me to find something that fullfills me, breaks down the stress, make me happy, change my mindset and made me be more active.

speaking of old times, wasn’t winamp’s genre dropdown menu had ‘primus’ sticking among all other genres, suggesting how special primus are?

fuck, this is accurate. i recognized myself in everything you wrote. (age 50ies)

feel the pain of work environment where you cannot add any addons.

the most clicked No Thanks button in my environement.

same here. few years ago ditched the nvidia card for amd and made my life rasier. wayland on fedora all the way, no issues. but i guess i’m completely different type of user.

I can totally feel that sudden clot in the gut the moment you realize on which drive the action is happening, just by reading this.

commodore 64 with tape drive. later i got 5.25 floppy drive for it, which was the size of C64 itself.

then amiga, which i sold later to get money for my first intel/dos based pc (486dx2), but i regret selling that amiga to this day.

Dimebag Darrell.

card almost exclusively. local bakery or similar small shops doesnt work with cards and only do cash, so sometimes i have to work that way, but otherwise its card only.

welcome back. not all but most of us had moment in time when something was trigger to return back to firefox, making it the new browsing-home and enjoying it since.

word was that most of other instances on .ml top level domain had free domains, which the government took away, while lemmy.ml was paid domain and not a free one, so it’s still alive. but we’ll see.

in worst case they will migrate current server and config to another domain.
