Typical. :P

Here's a video compilation of Apple ads from 1981->

The ads I'm talking about begin at about 11:00,

In particular, here's an ad that "proves" GUI is better than CLI for average workers. (joke)

Whether Mastodon has 5K or 5M users doesn’t matter. You only need to follow about 500 of them to get a pretty rich social media experience that doesn’t suck like ad driven social media.

@freemo Michael Leunig! Excellent Australian cartoonist. Plenty more examples of his often-insightful work at https://www.leunig.com.au/works/cartoons

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

Replying to all the random individuals that seem to think that I’m “endorsing” one of the Fediverse products over any other, and seem to be making a big deal over #akkoma vs #mastodon etc.

That’s not the case. I’m actually a horrible MIS person, and I would never want to maintain my own server. I’m a programmer for chrissake!

The same way you should fear me if I hold a soldering iron, you should be very very nervous if I were to do any server management.

So all credit (or blame) for the choice of Fediverse platform goes to @monsieuricon, who maintains kernel.org and just made it really easy for me to try this out.

… and on a similar note: not only am I not much of a MIS person, I’m also not much of a social networking person.

I foresee a lot of disappointment in the future of any followers of this account 🔮.

@freemo Yea the design decision to allow image names to fall back to docker by default was plenty questionable but is now definitely on the wrong side of history. It's funny that it's by their own hand and amidst a wave of supply chain and typosquatting attacks

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors. -Stephen Jay Gould

@freemo Same here

In the past and as a kid ive run dozens of RuneScape, Habbo en WoW servers but it's always 'stolen software' and from someone else that i do not understand

This time I want to know every inch of it and let it be community-inspired!

At some point it will also be added to Steam 💪

Resource checks against requirements for crafting now works

Next part is the 'crafting' itself, just basically removing requireds and adding item
