I'm looking for an old computer to play with, from the 80s or 90s. What kind of computer do you think I could possibly find on EBay etc. with about $75? (Sorry if that's a ludicrously low price. I'm not including a monitor and keyboard in that price, though.)

Some old computer categories that I've thought of are Commodore, IBM ThinkPad, and IBM PC.

The largest phone service provider in Denmark TDC is down, meaning half the Danish population cannot use their phones, including calling 1-1-2 (The EU equivalent of 9-1-1).

Emergency vehicles have been placed in Copenhagen to allow citizens to ask for help directly in case of an emergency.

If you are in Denmark and need assistance, please note that anyone with a different mobile service can help you call 1-1-2. Alternatively, by removing your SIM-card, you can call 1-1-2 circumventing TDC.

When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.

At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.

The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.

This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.

Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.

We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.

Getting into digital logic design a bit as a hobby (for a big personal project). I read an awesome book a while ago called "But How Do It Know?".
Still learning, but is it just me or are multiplexers the answer to all my problems? 😆

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but now is really not the time to be assholes to other people. And no, your hot take on who screwed up or what went wrong is probably not helping in any way.

I feel like every time I get this suddenly upset at a good or service, it ends up being an overreaction

Thanks to @arraybolt3 I was able to fix the issue. Honestly I overreacted when the website I was using was able to change my settings and bookmarks, it shouldn't be able to do that without a good prompt from the browser and outside of the website view....
Also Firefox Sync didn't *replace* my bookmarks anyway, but *merged*.

That said, my settings are still messed up, but thankfully my carefully created site cookie whitelist wasn't deleted from. So there's that!

Does anyone know how I can get my bookmarks and settings back? I didn't tell it to sync, I just signed in to a Mozilla website and Firefox just decided to overwrite everything 😡😡

Ugh, I signed in to a Mozilla website and it just deleted all my bookmarks and settings from my browser! I hate this so much.

This shader shows the extent of your fovea on your visual field:

"Look at any specific point and you should clearly see the extent of your fovea (the stars only seem to be rotating in a small circle at the center of your vision). Move your head back and forth to see it grow/shrink. Works better in full screen mode."

What it I fused two different Smash characters into one?

I used a random number generator and the list of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and I got these results:

If you call your political opponents vermin, you are dehumanizing people who bear the image of God.

If you call your political opponents garbage, you are dehumanizing people who bear the image of God.

To disagree with a position and make an argument is good and wise and helpful. To dehumanize and mock does not follow the way of love.

So, thoughts on the new #NintendoMusic app?
