@charlie_root Say your prayers and go to bed, morning is wiser than evening 😂
@aral
I think he's the least scary of Google (former) management, I'm not sure if any of them deservy any sympathy at all — they probably don't, but I liked his story that Chrome was developed behind his back 😂
He's definitely not one of the good guys, but I like that he gives off vibes of completely clueless one 🤪
@JoBlakely
@annika Yeah, exactly! Him!
Doesn't have all the latest bells and whistles, but it gets the job done and I like the "oldskool" feel of it. I mean most of my computers are over a decade old, why would I be on an instance with the most recent version of software? I feel right at home here 🤣
The only issue I've run into that is at least of some concern to me is that I can't upload photos from Tusky — probably some APIs changed, but Husky and web client work fine so it's not that big.
@annika No, this instance uses Smilodon, heavily modified Masto 3.1.1 — it doesn't even have DMs.
Masto itself didn't support editing at that point AFAIK.
I have my own instance that I use e.g. to make longer posts, but it runs on an old PowerPC G4 MacMini with only a gigabyte of RAM, very weak hardware. I'm afraid to post cats from it — cats are popular and I think that the poor box might just explode and set my place on fire because of sudden influx of visitors 😂
I do my best to add image descriptions, this time I did it in my mind, but I was participating in another thread and I forgot to actually type it in 😹
By the time I realized that, several people already liked it and I decided not to delete and redraft. Anyway, this would be something like: "Lynx point Mekong bobtail cat lying on a similarly colored pillow with his front paws tucked under his body"
@music Yes, that photo. For some reason I've thought those were his. A pity.
I miss making music with my friends, we didn't do it for quite some time.
@music
Oh, BTW. I know there was probably not enough time for that, but did you jam with your friend while you were on your trip? 😋
@koakuma Void Linux — former PowerPC port. Daniel did a tremendous job maintaining it, but moved on to work more on Chimera and abandoned it. I did update a few things I use often like transmission and such, and I can still cross-compile a lot of things with upstream void-packages, still, maintaining a proper port requires a lot of effort and I'm not up to it, more things will start breaking. Still, having Linux 6.1 and pretty much up-to-date software is impressive for such an old machine 😁
@koakuma No, I say marginal without disrespect and I'd be glad if more platforms are supported, I'm an avid user of less popular architectures myself, I'm typing this now on an old 32-bit ARM netbook, my Pleroma instance (not the one I'm replying from, my own one) runs on an old 32-bit PowerPC MacMini and it's currently building CUPS as I intend to use it as print server too. So I know better than most what it's like building stuff for say lesser mainstream platforms
@a1ba
@a1ba Machines IBM puts effort into are still very different from PowerPC ones I have to it doesn't help much. Rust works and there is an old version of Node.js so I can even build Firefox😁
Getting newer Node to build would require a lot of effort, and despite the fact that Rust works, a lot of popular crates don't like ring — popular cryptography module,I intended to port it to get libreddit running, but problem kinda resolved itself — no one needs Reddit anymore🤣
@koakuma
@a1ba I think it can use MSVC toolchain on Windows and likewise can probably use compilers on other platforms native to them, I doubt support for e.g. AXP ever existed in LLVM.
A lot of these arches are indeed marginal, TBH I'm suprised some of them are still in the kernel, even 32-bit ARM and x86 do not receive proper testing in a lot of software, it's mostly about AArch64 and x86-64 these days, probably experimental RISC-V, IBM might maintain some POWER support.
@koakuma
@thatguyoverthere I'm surprised you can replace blades in these at all. TBH, living most of my life in the city, I didn't know woodchippers even existed until I went to the country hiding from COVID, I mean the compact ones you can own yourself, not large scale industrial ones. The one I've operated was still bigger than the one in the photo and the blades in it were just giant cogwheels — didn't look replaceable and I had a lot of trouble even cleaning them properly.
@adiz Same. I could probably even fit into subculture thing and I find a lot of gay jokes funny, yet, the most essential part is missing — I'm still physically attracted to women and not attracted to men 🤣
@kirby Super Lizad Boy intended to change that by introducing Hellthreads app, so they've just blocked him.
This is what they took from you! 🤭
@theorytoe
"The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence"
@useless_idiot Most of those who were ready to play the good wife part have already moved to the West to their tradwife-appreciating husbands. But what's inside isn't con wonderland at all, it's the worst of all worlds: we have tons of dyed hair queercommunists and priests with smelly beards who like to grab young boys in all interesting places — all at the same time. Add absence of rule of law to the mix — there, you have it. Most protests and political life happens in Twitter threads.
@don
@useless_idiot Ha-ha-ha-ha! Never before this picture looked so funny.
But I think it's true! I respect women fighting for their rights, but despite that I've always found talks about patriarchy in Russia quite funny — there's no such tradition. Of course domestic violence isn't uncommon — that's because a lot of people are poor and live like cattle, not because of tradition. Russian middle-class girls are usually quite independent, a lot of them are spoilt, not submissive at all.
@don
None
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.
