In the 80s, we didn't have memory for a GUI. Most people ran DOS and executed a single binary to output ASCII. Before Norton Commander, we had TopView that allowed you to run two programs at once and switch between them. Each binary had about 292kb of ram, with TopView using ~42kb.

Nah, we had no fancy graphical interface. Are you crazy? Borland Turbo Pascal

My all time favorite SwearTrek

Old school was to use ABS material and acetone vapors to "smooth" the entire surface. However this is extremely toxic and hazardous if you don't know what you're doing.

Introduced the 2nd kiddo Jurassic Park (1993) just last month. And the quote from Jeff Goldblum's character hits home with everything immoral with commercial AI. RIP Sam Neill - you were truly the definition of humility throughout your career and in person.

Luanti, just like Minecraft, is a voxel game. Except, it's written in Lua (performs insanely well on old hardware, and mobiles), and is free and open source. www.luanti.org We started back when it was called MineTest. I self host servers for the kid and their friends. Safe, private, and secure.

After watching Days of Thunder (1990) with the family, I just realized this is a movie that was 100% real. No CGI, no computers. Actual cinematography on a very expensive scale (60 million, in 1990!!).

On shit, what did I say?

Muhahaha... www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-... I used #1 and my kid immediately understood what "bubble" is to "AI talk" his friends talk about.

BlueSky's "Discovery" tab doing its thing.

Did you know the BBC cut off public programming to anyone outside the UK? I first noticed BBC World News podcast die earlier and finally went looking. A quick VPN session later and, behold, BBC's walled-off garden limiting access called BBC Sounds. You get a 404 outside of UK.

Added to calendar.

Once all the "goodwill" of open source model authors dry up, we won't have any more models!! We did not need to give $500,000,000,000 to bigtech for Ai. That was an investment into Big Surveillance and girl-school bombings. Instead, we need to fund open data access to hardware.

I've been using Continue.dev for a while now. It keeps you close to the code, grounded in what the code is and what it's doing. Tinkering with Cline has trashed that workflow and I struggle to "let go" of the code logic. Now I understand Cline's scope: just let it think / let it do the job. 1/2

Try Brave browser. All the ad blocking built in, none of the drama. Also, go into your Google Account settings and turn off Web History. Then go visit YouTube for the best experience of all time.

Damn that's spot on.

Year two of our new annual event on June 14th completed! Idiocracy (2006) Yes, that's the White House and reflecting pool in the year 2505.

This June 14th marks our second annual viewing of the 2006 film Idiocracy. Hopefully, this is the last.

So Chevrolet has ended production of all sedans along with the Camaro. Just the Corvette, trucks, and SUVs. Random thought today: then what is Chevy racing in NASCAR? You're supposed to use a production car. A: NASCAR rules allow continuing racing previous submission, which was the Camaro.

Our dumb Samsung TV I registered warranty info for 6 years ago just emailed me saying it is spying on us. Part of that US lawsuit thing... "Dumb" as in I've never connected it to wifi, and it remains a "Monitor Only" for our mini-Media PC HDMI out to 4K @ 60Hz. So who's the smart one now?

Install GrapheneOS. It's all about APKs. As a matter of fact, while not clearly advertises, there are FOUR AppStore-like utilities depending on how you source.

I'm switching to Gemma 4 26B A4B as my primary coding model on this 16GB VRAM laptop (offloading up|down to CPU). And I just realized... That's a 26B leading model at just 80W for around 35 tps throughout.

What a score! So, for backlog project # 715, I have a low-powered linux eBook LTE system to finish tweaking. This @humblebundle.com that donates to EFF was the tipping point to bring that project back to life. Note that the bundle expires in 5 days! www.humblebundle.com/books/linux-...

@infoq.com if I am reading this correctly, "sale of company assets" shall NOT be services - such as selling customer data as a service to anyone. Correct? It's the 3rd party @neubirdai.bsky.social agreement I am being required to sign-up for an event. (btw, has broken #anchor links everywhere)

@support.bsky.team is marking your posts as Spam now.

How do I get a mention of leaving that cesspool?

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the propaganda isn't adding up. But this article makes a very compelling story of what actually happened.
