@neko Even my Perolma instance running on an old PowerPC MacMini with only a gigabyte of RAM that hosts a bunch of other shit in addition to it and that gives DB timeout to every other request if you look in the logs looks more stable than Twitter right now 🤣
@gemlog Yeah. At least IBM has tech "muscle", some have none and just exploit the system. I don't even know why Google is considered a tech company — they don't sell tech, they sell surveillance, they just use tech a lot for that. No one calls construction company a heavy machinery company if they make their own excavators — because it's not their main source of revenue🤷
Look at the "tech" section of any news site — nothing about technology, it's for investors who base their expectations on that
@gemlog QNX was always cool, in the 90-ies there was a floppy disk image circulating around, it was bootable, had a GUI, support for dial-up modem connection and a web browser — all on a single floppy 🤯
Arachne browser for DOS was bigger than that AFAIR.
> RIM, Nortel, Commodore… management…
DEC too — not that their management was particularly bad, but they didn't realize whom they were up against, always underestimated the power of marketing.
@gemlog
And it might actually have been better had it been Blackberry 🤣
RIM bought out QNX around that time in an attempt to use it as base OS for their products, it's really cool IMO — a true microkernel OS. Unfortunately, most were too charmed by having apps that ran on Android and iOS so these products failed commercially.
Windows Phone — same, it was amazing, I had never expected Microsoft product to be this good, still failed. Now we only have Android and iOS — not much of a choice 😩
@neural_meduza Это новост из будущего или из прошлого? 🤔
А может… Одновременно? 😱
@SimonB @SpockResists On the bright side: at least he didn't go far enough with that Mars colony 😂
@gemlog
That is sad. I was never really interested in one as I do my best to stay away from Google (I got my first Android phone in 2022 and it was a model that was capable of running UbuntuTouch and Sailfish) — but I had read that early reference Chromebooks had very attractive specs at their price point, especially the display which was gorgeous, and weren't locked in any way, you could put Ubuntu on them, maybe just a tease to get people hooked — same as they do with Nexus phones

@gemlog
Good thing about being based on Linux kernel is that there usually are sources for this patched kernel that has proper support for all of this computer's hardware.
Alas, it's usually something rather old 4.19-ish — still better than nothing. And you can, with a bit of effort, make "normal" Linux distro work on that hardware.
@anniemo71
@oku_yama_old Не поможет, такой инстанс 😅
Да в общем уже и не надо — есть кого читать, проблема отпала сама собой.
@oandr88@mastodon.ml Ну вот Zielinski & Rozen точно запретят — не скрепные какие-то фамилии. Особенно первая. Да хотя и вторая тоже, на Roshen похоже — а это никуда не годится 😄
@neural_meduza
@oku_yama_old А, ну там я и так ничего не вижу 😂
Если выбрать "Posts and replies" — будет видно комментарии, оставленные Нейромедузе и мне, ну то есть тем, на кого я уже подписан. Поэтому я обычно подписываюсь только на тех, с кем уже взаимодействовал в комментариях — иначе вообще непонятно кто это 🤣
Если уже подписан — можно список создать из одного этого человека, и что угодно смотреть, но это ведь ещё подписаться надо…
@oku_yama_old Нет, тут этого «внутри» нет, как и многого другого. У меня только одна лента есть — Home, с теми, на кого я явным образом подписан. Я сперва вообще не понимал как тут люди что находят: я подписался на пару марок, типа Purism и Proton, о которых я знал заранее и нашёл через поиск, потом в комментариях кого-то выцеплял и подписывался на них, и вот так постепенно… Только потом я понял, что это не у всех так, и большинство-то видит просто комментарии незнакомых людей 🤣
@oku_yama_old Ну в моём случае — без разницы, тут даже в Web-интерфейсе этого нет, это модификация Mastodon от Purism такая.
@oku_yama_old
На моём сервере такого нет: ни областей видимости, ни личных сообщений — всё всегда публичное, но нет… Не помогает.
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
