@james I wonder what this hardware is? 🤔
My PowerPC boxes from early 2000s don't have go, but they have rust.

@EricZhang456@mastodon.technology Come on, it's not called NETbook for nothing! The groundbreaking network capabilities of Windows for Workgroups 3.11 would certainly come in handy 😆
@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org

@gabriel@mstdn.starnix.networkI think it was real in the post-WW2 US, like the 50-ies.
Imagine the events of Updike's "Rabbit, Run" today: he left a woman with two kids, and not like he left them without a cent, found another woman, moved in with her, bought another car… If that happened today, everyone in this novel would be eating worms or dealing drugs to survive 😅

@solidsanek The cats in the farthest corners look very similar. At a glance I thought the image was mirrored.
Oh, wait, are they all the same cat shot at different moments and then combined? 🤪

@murks Yeah, this one in particular is surprising! I always considered them well known, like phrase "Beam me up, Scotty!" made it well outside the Star Trek fandom 🤷
Well, go easy on them, it's not the end of the wor… Except for when it is!
I mean, in the highly unlikely event of Daleks invading your office, you'd have to take care of them as you are the only one aware what you are up against 🤭

@murks There is a downside to this though: if you decide to share a funny story from work with your friends over beers on a weekend, they might not get it this time as workplace memes™ have no power in this realm 🤣

@murks Ha-ha-ha-ha!
It's frustrating when the joke is really funny, but no one gets it because of the reference. And you are like: "Guys, come on! This is not a Proust quote, it's not called POP-culture for nothing!"
My references are too obscure at times, even close friends don't get it, so I came up with this strategy of implementing workplace memes™. This way you can have fun with your colleagues and make sure they get your jokes.

@murks This happened to me a lot. You do not receive an offer for the position you wanted most so you go for the "backup" you had in mind. And it turns out that the "backup" is better than what you've aimed for! One time I even knew next to nothing about the company I was going to work for and found out that it wasn't that bad at all, a serious player in their field 😅

@twinkle does it have a file to set security policies like sudo does? doassers? 😅

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I have a Toshiba Satelite 4600 Pro laptop somewhere that has 5 OSes installed: Plan9, Windows 2000, Haiku, Ubuntu and QNX. No VMs, they run on real hardware, that's what I call multiboot! 😂
I had a PCMCIA 2G modem in it so I could take it outside and browse the web using this fine piece of equipment. Too bad one of the hinges broke and I can't do that anymore — the looks they gave me were priceless 🤣

@atyh
youtube-dl has -F — it's the same basically, lists available audio and video formats.

@rs1linuxtools In dial-up era it was the easiest way to get a CD with some distro 🤷🏿
I think I've also had a printed copy of Linux NAG (Network Administrator's Guide). Oh, and some Kernel Internals book from kernel 2.0 times.
I still prefer reading printed books, but back in the day reading stuff online using a smartphone wasn't even a viable option option, screens were small and… bad. Linux book was a great way to entertain yourself when using public transportation or smth.

@drcounelis@mstdn.starnix.network
Let loose the kraken!!!
@atyh

...угоняли NI Traktor при помощи танка.

@Rezard Soviet switches, ПТ13-2В (tactile)
Хотя к BlackWidow положена более достойная мышь…
😂

@Rezard Случайно вчера наткнулся на диаграммы Венна и понял, что вот оно, предельно корректное название таких схем:
ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D
В данном случае, когда всё со всем пересекается, схематичное изображение с помощью кругов Эйлера бы выглядело так же, но в более общем случае, они могли бы быть расположены совершенно иначе. В случае же с диаграммами Венна, всё бы осталось также, но отсутствующие пересечения были бы закрашены.
@th3rdsergeevich

@Rezard Центральная часть любого достойного сэтапа 😹

@Rezard @evold
Мои родители действительно расстались ещё до того, как я впервые увидел Etch-A-Sketch, ещё до того, как у всех тетрисы карманные появились, не то, что GameBoy. Мне наверное уже самому в музЭй пора 😅

— A colleague of mine, a homophobe and a vatnik, asked me to help him order some generators online using his computer. His browsing history is… interesting.

— OMG, stop it, Genshin Impact is an okay game!
🤣

@syscrash@linuxrocks.online No, I've meant SVG or something like that. So it can be resized in a lossless way like an actual logo. But I know it would be really hard to do without losing detail, so it was half-joke 😅
Thanks for the PNG version!
