No one joins mastodon

If you had a one-way ticket to Jan 1, 1999 that departs on Jan 1, 2024, and you are allowed to bring whatever fits into a backpack with you, what would you bring to use to take over the world, and how would you use it? (kbin.social)

Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history....

Forward Unto Dawn was so much better as a Halo adaptation.

This tells me everything I needed to know.

I’m replaying Prey (2017) and Fire Emblem Awakening. Also, some Super Mario Wonder, when my children and wife are not hogging the switches.

Proud owner of a Xiaomi Pad 5, still works like the day I got it. Also got my oldest child (who, like me, is into emulation) a Pad 6.

Since this is lemmy, I’ll take your recommendation blindly.

What an effing cunt.

Kbin? Lmao

Edit: I know Kbin is nice, I had an account. But it not having proper apps back then, during the reddit exodus, took its toll.

I see Linux users still thirsting over apple hardware

As a latin American myself, I never considered that. As a programmer, I completely back that up.

@victron@programming.dev avatar

(Latin American fellow) At first I thought this was an Australia-style joke, because there are Spanish speaking countries in both hemispheres. Yep, I can overthink stuff and still be an idiot lol

The History of Microsoft Encarta (infosec.pub)

In 1985, shortly after the release of Windows 1.0, Bill Gates set Min Lee on a mission to find a partner for a digital encyclopedia product that would serve as a reference companion to Microsoft’s productivity applications. Lee then approached Britannica, the undisputed leader in the encyclopedia market, who’d recently...

Jfc I had forgotten those were the shit back then, with those dorky long microphones, plugged to a PC. Thank you for remind me how old I am.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Lmao like those early cell phones

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Thanks for sharing, didn’t know that.

Is that or a private company. There’s no winning lol

I honestly forgot about it.

Jfc, I laughed way too much at this.

Blows my mind that I didn’t realize it and had to go back to see it.

I love how the 3DS can go fuck itself, when it’s the actual DS successor lol

(Btw, currently replaying FE: Awakening)

Mastodon is boring. I left Twitter years ago, and don’t miss it. I joined Mastodon like 2 years ago, I like it, but still find it boring.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, and it’s not the worst thing some so-called humans have ingested, just out of stupidity or because someone else told them to. The tide pod challenge will always be a low point for us as an species.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

Serious question. Can a pihole stop this? I’ve been thinking about building one for my house.

The first time I heard about the game, not long before it was released, I thought it was a joke.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

The only sensible answer.

Risa is the sole reason I started watching TOS. Risa made me a trekkie.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Puzzling? Windows comes preinstalled or can be pirated. Also, it’s popular, Linux isn’t. No puzzle on sight.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

May people just love to hate Microsoft. It’s still seen as a boomer company by may.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

I’m in the same boat. Tried codium, for 5 minutes, but left as soon as noticed the settings sync wasn’t as straightforwardas in vscode.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Even the linux memes communities/subs have better takes than the purist ones lol

@victron@programming.dev avatar

So much they made WSL and made many developers happy. People acting like nothing has changed in more than 30 years.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Some people just want to get their work done, instead of jumping through hoops.

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

I love vscode. But this thread made me want to learn neovim just so I don’t have all my eggs on a single basket.

What a supportive citizen.

Big brain move right there.

Lmao so close to home, my in laws have exactly that (the trampoline is for my children to play) xD

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Exactly my thoughts. Barbie was the first thing that came to my mind. Just using the brand recognition. Why not go all out and try to pull a Mario Movie?

victron,
@victron@programming.dev avatar

Nah, whoever drinks that shit (no pun intended, really) has lost the right to laugh at anyone.
