AFAIK, it does some audio! I've even seen a documented way to pipe videos through bunch of stuff to watch them.

That is so! And it's not like all these people are going to disappear soon — there are those who want to belong to something big, they want to be able to discuss latest movie/album with complete strangers.
Recording and movie industries has lost grip when they failed to embrace the social media. Now seem to have regained it, but they have let the underground/independent go — the profit margins are too little, the term doesn't even make sense anymore — it's too decentralized.

I don't know, but maybe its' about PR budgets now 🤷
Movie and record companies seem to have figured out what "going viral" is and how it works. I don't think that it means that they will get rid of all the smaller fish, but they aren't threatened by it either — both seem to be able to coexist.

@sneak
This should have happened to music — and to a degree it did: I'm mostly listening to artists that even my friends might not know the names of.
But as information landscape is changing, now mostly consisting of myriads of bubbles — of considerable size, but still nowhere as big as "pop culture" used to be, big names seem to be in demand again: Taylor Swift and all that.
So it's not about production costs — people seem to want to be into the same thing millions of others are.

To me it doesn't even bear any nostalgic value: I didn't own it when everyone did. I don't know how my parents did that, but I had a 80386-based computer when not every Soviet research instutute had PCs like that. And it was US-made — not the CPU, the whole box — a few kidnes got sold somewhere along the way probably 😂

Strange that you don't own a PowerMac G5 rig then — having Forth right in OpenFirmare sounds cool if you're into that thing. To be honest, to me it's in the same category LISP is in though — something fun, but impractical 😅

All of it is fixable, but this part:
> and then lied to me
Is pretty concerning. What they call a red flag — usually there is no point in doing that while you're on probation, so it might be a bad habit of his 🤔

> Forth environment on a Z-80
That shit I came up with was somewhat hard to challenge, but you did! Respect! 😂
I'm just poking @iska for fun — pretty sure that it would be something more practical (but still unusable by the standards of a normal human being)

They have finally solved the problem of illegal content being accessible on their network 😂

On a serious note, sadly, it's still accessible when you're using a Russian IP-address. Most probably some filtering measures are in place to protect them from a DDoS attack.

What did you expect, giant distributed microkernel-based LISP machine running exclusively on NUMA-enabled Itanium cores? 🫠

If I was a US resident, I'd probably be using Telegram too — or some Chinese shit even, something US government is less likely to have a hand in. Cryptography is cool and all — but there are always other factors 😏

When I was reading about LibreSIM I thought that it made zero sense — who would even want that? But looks like US is so fucked up in this regard that it might 😂

Can't you just use Skype or some SIP provider over data-only mobile connection and rent a US phone number to use with it — if people still want to contact you using "normal" phone number, and avoid dealing with all that shit entirely? 🤔
