This is a game designer not a codet. but whatever it’s an interesting read

linux doesnt exist because hobbyists make it. the inteternet runs on it. the largest companies in the world run on it.

these companies that contribute to the kernel arent hobbyists https://insights.linuxfoundation.org/project/korg/contributors?timeRange=past365days&start=2025-05-02&end=2026-05-02

it surprises me that anyone disagrees with this. i am not anti ai at all but why would we hand out awards to ao generated stuff? whats the accomplishmennt?

i should have said the west. iran has called out the uk.

its their continued attack on american companies

since its a terrotist atrack from iran… no

i think most people just don’t care. we really need to spread the message. i think getting reddit users on piefed and lemmy is a good start. (like your username btw)

i want to spread the word so bad but i was banned from reddit. never knew why and i was very curious and surprised until i found out Paul McCartney was banned for posting pictures of his concert. so now i know it could have been anything.

favebook is another matter. i may have never had an account but i love tech history. mark and the gang built tools to scrape you other account back in the day an add the data to facebook. made it easy to switch. they also made it close to impossible to do the same to facebook. but it would require something like that to get people on to something else.

ok… soap box rant tangent time…

i am so pissed all the governments have been stepping up this age check anti vpn anti privacy push. in my magical completely unrealistic paradise world, we would have public service annpuncents about how to self host and be a part of the solution. i am so just disenchanted with society (not sure if thats the best term). i feel like it was only two years ago where i feel the bad stuff was selling our data to advertisers. sure the nsa kept illegally spying on us but the EFF would fight them in court.

now its so much worse :(

no. i am going to slightly contradict my earlier hyperbole but microsoft was formed by bill gates and paul allen to work with altair. ibm was not involved then. this is why i have serious doubts about historical events because even things that happened during my lifetime are being altered

debating Microsoft’s business practices, which we we all know were shady as fuck, is veering away from the point that ibm’s loss of the home market is ibm’s fault. ibm never saw the home market as a lucrative avenue

are we rewriting history? “and then bill gates came along”. microsoft was with ibm since the beginning of the home market? microsoft was formed to work with ibm. microsoft is older than apple. microsoft was initially pushing os/2 but ibm wasnt interested in the home market so microsoft ripped off xerox like apple did. but the article was about ibm shifting focus away from the home market and that happened before 1993 (doom 1)

i looked it up. i was counting the 2168 as one model but i guess there were ten variations. but your answers dont seem real. you sound like a young person who didnt buy a pc. we didnt buy pcs from sears. are you using ai?

they were not “veryuch in the home pc market” they released the ps/1 to “reenter” the home market. the ps/2 was older. and never had a 486dx 2. th ps/1 had one 486dc2. so yes its possible but tjis article is about ibm losing the home market and they lost it by then, since the ps/1 was them trying one last time to “reeneter” it.

ypur back hurtd? eithrr your too young to rdmrmber or your so old your brain is making stuff up. what ibm 486dx? by thr time intel released the 486dx, ibm was already replaced by clones. hp, compaq, gateway

the problem is, a lot of shitty laws are passing in europe (looking at you france) but havent made it through our system yet. time will tell.

what is the purpose of an app like this? to be fair i hate commercial flying (and i cant afford private) so i may fly maybe once a year.

is this for frequent fliers to see a pretty map? which is fully valid, life is about fun - i was just curious if i was missing anything.

well to be pedantic, this really affects the web, which runs in the application layer of the internet. since i am sure they arent going to require refrigerators to have id, the intetnet should remain open. we will just communicate over different protocols

i am still confused about recess. thats an elentary school thing. none if our kids schools have ever alliwed phones out during school so i cant imagine kids using it at recess.

every day my youngest tells me about all the games they play at recess and challenges on monkey bars. we pretended to be star wars characters or ibdisnna jones, she oretends yo be kpop demon hunters. thats what recess is about. who picks phone over play?

copilot isnt a model. its a front end that lets you pick a model. that table shows usage costs.
