how to have even more amazing opsec:
decide to change your name
don’t know what to change it to
now nobody knows your real name, even you!

And when they have abandoned W10M it was time for me to jump ships again — I don't see the point in keeping using desktop Windows if there's no ecosystem around it.
And their idea of pairing it with Android was übercringe — Android looks too ugly after Windows 8-like interfaces 😩

I have managed to get a couple of Windows phones (three to be accurate, but I have returned the original Lumia 800 as it had poor battery life), an Xbox, a couple of Windows licenses, a couple of Office licenses… while I was still being deceived. And I wasn't even a Windows user before that 😅 In fact, I've always hated their design decisions, and especially the fonts, Windows Phone and Window 8 were different enough for me to give them a chance.

If we scroll further down, does she respond with: "Gold?!!! No one below diamond deserves me! GG, sucker!"? 😂

This language is absolute hell!
With lots of quirks that work this way "just because" — as someone thought "why the hell not?" at some point in the past and now no one dares to touch it and bring some sanity into it — as it might break something in the decade old codebase of some project, so more newer quirks keep growing out of old ones just to expect more or less predictable behavior even though to those unfamiliar it doesn't make any sense at all 😩
The big project I'm excited about right now is PlugData. https://github.com/timothyschoen/PlugData/actions
It's a graphical programming language based on & compatible with Pure Data. But it's not only far more legible, it also runs as a VST plugin in your DAW.
As much as I love what it does now, I'm most interested in developing it for my general purpose programming and experimentation. I want to program drones and synths and costumes with it.
We need more coders! Come help!

Still better than it runs Doom. My first computer had a 386SX 16 MHz CPU so I know what I'm talking about 😂
This thing has twice the frequency and it has 8 megs of RAM (mine had 5: 4 in SIM modules and 1 extra in DIP chips — still better than just 4 that most of my friends had) — so it's probably not that bad!

Hey, it's like those RPG games! Makes interacting with people online slightly more bearable 😁
@ThatCrazyDude
Oh yes, I can now see the folded seat and the stick too now. How could I not notice those? 😂
@thatguyoverthere
That would probably be the case in many languages as it's char (or single-character string) vs integer (or other numeric type), but why the fuck is it 2000-01-01 in particular? WTF indeed 🤯
@ThatCrazyDude
How do you operate these, are they unmanned or something? 🤔
@jame
If you make it a real application, it'd be even better!
Bloat frontend works fine in old Edge, but a dedicated app would be perfect 😄
@StefanThinks
Yep, that's what they say — every time you see a post you strongly disagree with, you feel "buttcord" 😂
@SpaceLifeForm
I bet if someone used the bullshit that is fed to Russians every day to train a neural network, the hardware hosting it would be toast in mere seconds 🤣
The fact that most have too short of a memory span to remember what was told a month ago is probably just a cope mechanism.

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.
