Juanito Greco, el destruidor de tabelas

Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size

20-ish, rather. You can still find some legacy systems running some version of VisualBasic on Windows.

Also disagree with op, javascript is the current “lingua franca” of programming. Unless every browser decides to allow scripting in a less shotgun-your-foot language, javascript will remain widely used.

A great example is the best animal: THE DOGGO

Fixed

Bobby tables, noooooooo!

atleast a 5/10 in effort

The migration that happened from xitter being blocked in Brazil is a good example of a bandwagon effect, or “people go where people are”. If xitter wasn’t taken down, neither bluesky nor threads would’ve received such a big and immediate influx.

Also worth noting is that the vast majority went for those 2, bluesky more so than threads, instead of any mastodon instance because those 2 are the mainstream alternatives

Yeah, because all censorship is evil /s

How do we get “normies” to adopt the Fediverse?

We don’t. Normies take one look at anything that isn’t mainstream and pinch their noses. A significant portion of them can barely make a search on the internet, they get lost at the idea of “websites” and are likely heavily biased against people who aren’t using what “everyone is using”

Anedoctal experience: back when I was using dating apps, I’ve had a fair share of girls that stopped talking to me once I said I didn’t have instagram, because it meant I was “hiding something”.

Something something history repeats itself as farce or something

For context: Intel was founded by people who thought Fairchild Semiconductors wasn’t receiving the necessary funding or respect from the owning company.

Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?

I remember reading some time ago that “the idea (of phones listening to everything you say to serve ads) makes no economic sense, because it’d be too expensive to run”

Looks like it actually isn’t “too expensive” to run in the end.

The part of the law that talks about content removal (Section 3, articles 18 to 21) does not say that only content can be removed nor that accounts can’t be touched. Before Moraes, judges have ordered people to be locked out of certain social media, so there is precedent.

It’s also important to note that freedom of speech ends the moment it becomes a crime. Whether said xitter accounts have been committing crimes, and which crimes, is a different discussion

Judge tells the company to take down profiles that have been known to be used solely for spreading political lies. Company complies. Manbaby buys company, pedals back on previous compliance. Judge tells company to comply again. Company ignores it. Judge makes it a legal order. Company removes its legal representative from the country, so the company no longer “answers to the country’s laws”. Company’s IP addresses gets country wide block. That is censorship because…? Freeze peach?

Not that the judge in question, Alexandre de Moraes, is any sort of role model, what with him imposing a R$50,000 fine to anyone using a VPN to bypass the block, which is a clear overstepping of the order and hitting end users because “fuck them”, this is likely to be overruled later today. He also ordered to freeze Starlink’s assets (because they didn’t comply with the order to block xitter).

For anyone that never heard of, or doesn’t know much about the Amiga, I highly recommend this series on Ars Technica

On part 5, it shows that the Amiga 1000 retailed for around 1,300 dollars, while then current Apple computers cost over 2k dollars.

We need millions of minutely active users.

Why? So they can satisfy your need for content and save you from boredom?

It has [2] R’s, simple!

Even then, you’re still having to wait for its CPU to fuck around with the image and sound before it actually outputs it,

Meh, only the office closed, the site is still accessible. Here’s to hoping the escalation continues and xitter ends fully blocked

That too, but also lots of glitching through walls and, most importantly, “doing everything as wrong as possible”
