Those in the army often do not belong to the region they are in, some come directly from prison — and they are given firearms and freedoms they have never had before, is it surprising that some of them turn into animals barely having any humane qualities?

@Nick44 @Tendar
Floods, fires — people are left to their own devices quite often!
So it's hard to say whether they even treat Russians as their own: shooting down a projectile over densely populated area of the city to prevent it from reaching military objects — no problem! I think this army and law enforcement act as occupational on Russian territories same as they do on Ukrainian ones 🤷

@Nick44 @Tendar
Assuming that they have "their people" and treating it as "us versus them" situation is one of the biggest mistakes one can make, were this army given free reign on Russian territory, I'm afraid they'd be doing all the same — and they often do, those who manage to survive long enough to return, I suppose few of these cases make it into international press. And this doesn't have to be about war, the state doesn't care about the civilians — look at how they handle the emergencies!

I can't belive it has such a low landing despite having truck in its name 🤦
The engine looks powerful enough, but that doesn't help.

The band Tool parodied this with the track Die Eier von Satan from their album Ænima — it's just a recipe for some cookies read out loud in German to a rather weird rhythmic background audio, but to non-German speakers it unmistakably evokes the Nazi associations 😂

My Mac Pro is also more then a decade old — all the rubber plugs in it look worn, but it works and only requires vacuuming every once in a while. I also have one of the early fanless ARM-based machines — Genesi EfikaMX, also still runs and now acts as a VPN box and hosts a proxy server.
Some computers last for decades and break when you can't even get replacement parts for them anymore, others die right after the warranty has expired — truly sad 😩

@amoroso @rob
I've always liked the form-factor — my PowerPC MacMini, one of the earliest widely-available computers of this sort is turning 20 soon — still runs and it's at its limit, but it hosts my Pleroma Fediverse instance. Some hardware is very reliable — I think I've only replace the HDD in it, which died in two years or so — but since then it's running flawlessly 24/7 for over a decade.

@amoroso @rob
And damn… That machine looks packed: 64 gigs of RAM, a dozen of cores and you can probably even play older games with that iGPU — all that in a nice passively-cooled compact case!
I still like my old Mac Pro, but with newer machines I don't even see that point in all that computing power, I'd probably go with something… more basic.

@rob
Wow, lucky! Maybe it has something to do with that replacement program, sadly — mine had survived 😅
This sometimes happens with Apple, my friend's early plastic MacBook got its motherboard fried, he was expecting the worst, but they've just given him a new one and with Core 2 Duo — which was the newest at the time, replacing the Core Duo one he had 😂

I didn't mean it that way, sorry 😔 Maintaining a healthy sleep schedule is very important!
BTW, I know it's kinda late to ask… I have a weird feeling that these LPs have nothing to do with line printers, so what are they exactly?

But we can still thank dating sites for giving us social networks 😂
In fact what we mean by social networking existed even in the nineties: dating sites had messaging/chats, rating photos, casual online multiplayer games… No one was conning them social networks though. Facebook's major breakthrough IMO was proper marketing — shifting the focus away from dating so less people started shying away from participating.

@newt @echo
Looks like this field is in a bit of a crisis now: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/aug/17/dating-apps-decline-bumble-tinder
I find it not hard to believe they might be hiring workforce abroad to keep the people engaged TBH 😏
Not that I would miss if most of these websites and companies close down, I've always found commodification of romance cynical and if you're looking for a hook-up, it's not like there were no options even without these apps.

@romin
My conpooters aren't that old yet 😏
The MacMini my Repolma instance is hosted on is nearing twenty though 🤭

@aronow
That donut toy looks so much fun 😻
My cats would certainly carry it around a lot!

> No, I mean the Personal Area Network profile in Bluetooth. It also emulated Ethernet.
Yeah, I remember PAN back from the days when my ThinkPad T43 was still brand new — I've never seen it used in real world, yes — why bother when there is Wifi? 🤔
It might make more sense now that Bluetooth LE exists — to save the battery, but I've never tried that myself.

@awilfox
There is also a branch with an attempt to port newer libgo to older gccgo in the Adelie tree — that one failed to build on my machine too, but my experimenting with it is somewhat hindered by the fact that complete rebuild of gcc on this MacMini takes forever😅 So I might've missed something.
