She probably knows that feel, just pretends that she doesn't 😂

@kirby @eric
That might be a good idea actually! Even used one — if someone was using it for some time and it didn't fail, it probably came without factory defects and it would probably keep working. I won't go for soldered-in storage though — I'm not sure later models had that, but Apple loves such shit, and these things wear down.

@eric @kirby
It's even worse at this point, with Windows hardware you can at least get something that has a viable migration path, with Mac you are confined to that thing that looks like horse's ass and requires disabling SIP in single-user mode to install curl.
Oh, wait, you can also have Fedora with reverse-engineered drivers 😂

@kirby @kroner
Vista did have its appeal, it had some interesting visual effects that some were missing in later releases. Most didn't have proper hardware when it got released — the sole reason for the bad reputation, I think it's rather a marketing failure than a technical one.
But it's still Windows — I hate Windows, even XP and 7 which most like. Windows 8 doesn't look like Windows at all, that's why I like it, even Windows 10 was a downgrade IMO 🤔

@kirby @kroner
I'm downgrading to Windows 8 consumer preview on the machine where I still use it.
But I think I've already told you that… Multiple times 😅
I really like that preview build — it doesn't have a Start button. AT ALL!!! 🤩

@kaia
Older batteries that could suddenly go from 15-20% to like 3% required recalibration, but I don't see this with new batteries often 🤷

@ThatCrazyDude @kravietz
The operation is special,
So fucking special! 🎵

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here! 🤣

@kravietz
Russia is a multi-tiered federation — you just don't get it 😂
(Having well-defined subjects of federation, especially those with ethnic majority ones, would make things a little easier when it starts falling apart like USSR did and Russian Empire did before it)

@kaia @thatbrickster
BreadTubers when they are told they now have to eat mostly bread 😩🥖

@neural_meduza
Эй, минуточку! Никакая это не проблема — это культурная традиция! 😅

@munir @mint
Gone Daddy did that last winter: "Give us an address outside Russia or we will revoke your domain names, and hurry up by the way — you have less than two weeks, the clock is ticking…"
And they didn't even issue it as a warning before renewal, mine were all paid for in advance, with nearly a year left. But no refunds of course — because money don't stink 😏

@vertka
Who are EN VAs? English language voice actors? 🤔

@kirby @guenther @atom
You might be right about this happening earlier than in XP — I was never an avid Windows user, I don't think I even ever had anything newer than 95 and older than 8 on my personal devices, but definitely not in 95 — that one didn't even ship with IE, you had to download either it or Netscape Navigator — most probably why they decided to make it pre-installed, but probably in one of the updates. And it wasn't that tightly integrated yet.

@wyatt8740
I mostly use my MacMini G4 to host my Pleroma instance — it works fine, but it's completely headless so I'm simply unaware of what issues might be there. Unlike my G5 where these colour distortions are everywhere. But I only turn it on to update stuff, make sure it works and power it off for another month or two 😂
A lot of the software I use is in Go and gccgo doesn't cut it 😩

@wyatt8740
A lot of stuff is broken on BE, I have a PowerMac G5 and most images, and even colour emojis in fonts look like that. The problem might be even deeper than GTK, some underlying library, but I've never figured out what that is.

@guenther @atom
That allowed remote code execution under privileged account (!) and could be made slow down to a crawl with carefully forged IP packets. It's was a mess! Truly ironic it's remembered as something simple, stable and fun to use.

@guenther @atom
Indeed! Windows XP fact WAS like that, it was the first version of Windows that could display HTML content right in the file Explorer and AFAIR, some of the standard actions were links to resources on the Web even. It came with horrible bugs, like UP'n'P one.

@lain @grillchen
I can still make wishes on shooting stars for the few special people to get gifted with pancreatic cancer 😈

@snacks @kaia
OMG, first this, what's next, inviting those who don't self-host their own instances? Is there a limit to how inclusive Fedi can be? 😤
