When was the last time you had to copy something so big over to your phone than you could benefit from something speedier than a 300 Mbps wireless connection?
The only use case that comes to my mind is going on a trip, so you might want to take a few TV shows with you — but this usually doesn't happen SUDDENLY!!! On top of that, most people stream movies and they download if for offline use from the network anyway.

@gemlog
Yeah, you instance seems to be… spotty 😅
Today I'm boomarking these — the websites, not the post like I always used to. Now that I know that you posts might disappear sooner or later.
Maybe I should host a Tiny Tiny RSS instance myself? 🤔
Does it work well in older browsers, other than latest Chrome and Firefox? Does it require anything other than PHP?

Hair growth in itself might indicate that he's off chemo and as he's smiling, that might be a good sign — that was probably the reasoning of original poster on HN.
But otherwise yeah — until it's officially confirmed, we're just speculating.

@gospodin
I think the real problem might be that by the time the second guy looks like the first one, there might be very few people in their thirties or younger — irregardless of what they look like 😅

@kaia
I'd be fine not having at least some of these companies anywhere on the globe at all 😏
But I get your point.

Or worse: until some undemocratic regime has fallen out of favour, US might be even assisting the local motherfucker in charge.

@thatguyoverthere @kravietz @feld
There very often are equal assholes in power, they don't have the resources of US, but they also aren't subject to international scrutiny, and the freedom of press isn't even remotely close to that of the US. People hate their own governments — and very often rightfully so! No surprise that some would rather have US involved than die in the darkness or authoritarian regime fighting all that shit alone.

@thatguyoverthere @kravietz @feld
It's not some uncontrollable process, not some natural occurrence "US always does it" — these decisions have people behind them, these people have names, the movie explores this topic really well by the way. And these people can be held responsible.
But it's not like on the other end there are noble barbarians living in mud huts, having the time of their lives, but then US came and ruined the idyllic livelihoods — no, far from it!

Finding Ministry CD brought this thread back in memory.

I mean yeah, I'm pretty sure it had very bad effects domestically, but me simply agreeing with you on this would be a hypocrisy — I'm not a US citizen so it's hard for me to assess the extent of it. My point is that "US did it for the oil" — is a gross oversimplification, and it does neither party justice.

@eric
I knew they would go there at some point! I always liked how Live sacrificed flexibility to be more intuitive. But I suppose they don't have to do that anymore, now that it's mainstream.

@kirby @vncresolver
No need to be modest, I have even that shit on CDs somewhere. Didn't find it where I thought it would be though, only found HP-UX, but as it was on labelled CDRs, not on official media, I decided that it wouldn't make a good enough Fedi tech fetish photo.
Or maybe I should've 🤔 Those CDRs looked gold…
In any case, I've put it back into the cabinet already 😁

@eric
Yeah, I could even vaguely remember it not being obvious, but wasn't motivated enough to check 🤭

@kirby @vncresolver
"I'm kinda old-skool" 😅

@kaia
Gentrification of anonymous imageboards 🤪

@GoodBoyUV @milk
OMFG!!! Now I'm going to get another 15 followers on the federated social network! 😱
Maybe 20 even!!! 😵

@kirby
Most distros allow you to keep several versions of PostgreSQL.

@kaia
We sure do! 🤩
I do a complete playthrough of original C&C every few years, I think I should do Tiberian Sun and Firestorm too, I even have an old Toshiba laptop with Windows 2000 to make it an authentic experience — but sadly, I never get to it 😞
