Web dying would be a great thing IMO. I have recently resurrected a more than decade old ARM machine with only 512 Mbs of RAM, it's only capable to run a single window of Surf — at best, and despite that, it's still a fun machine to use as I have Gemini and my TUI Fedi and Matrix clients. There are things that are fun, they are usable on hardware 10 times less powerful than an average modern phone! The Internet definitely shouldn't be the web!

@neural_meduza Союзники обещали конечно поставить авиацию, но чтобы сразу так… Из WarCraft? 😮

Hardware real mode/protected mode switch would be perfect, but I think I've only seen a LED indicator like this on a 286 motherboard 😄

Especially when cutting down on education and healthcare is guaranteed to make it worse in the long run. Like how is this supposed to get fixed by itself in this economy, will high-tech products start growing on trees?
I'm not even American and I still don't see how this is supposed to work, I think I see how this gets sold to taxpayers though 😩

@mjdxp Come on! At least buy him a drink 🐶

@theorytoe
B-b-but! kernel.org runs it!
E-eh… Still checks out 😂
@neko

@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 🤣

@vriska Maybe he was just born in 2020 and "seen some shit" — probably too much of it 😹

@tasinone
Because "Who knows what this bunch of nerds is doing there, let's just fire them and see if it still works" 🤣
@sysop408

@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

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.

— Yeah… something like that 🥴

@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 😄
