I hope it crashes straight to zero, along with every other crypto currency, NFT, chia, and whatever other “idle your car engine to solve sudoku puzzles you can trade for drugs” bollocks is floating around.
Between this and AI we’re wasting so, so many resources and killing the planet for nothing.
Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.
Don’t really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox’s work and then releases it later.
I want a Google and Apple alternative and I’d rather support it at the top of the chain.
Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you’re embarrassed about and wouldn’t be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn’t be doing it.
Many years ago I did post mix installs. Because we were subcontract, it was not unusual to install a system for one company, then replace it under the banner of another company, and then rip that out and install another system on behalf of the first company again.
I can think of at least 3 different venues in our CBD that I swapped like that.
What it did was make me real good at ensuring anything I installed was easy to follow and work with afterwards… Cause it was probably going to be me again lol
I love that you’re saying monopolies are terrible, while crowing about how successful Epic is and how they licence their game engine to half the industry (presumably making them the largest share, given the remaining 50% is shared among every other alternative).
Seems like this Steam monopoly isn’t having the negative affect you’re suggesting.
I’m agnostic to all storefronts and platforms, I just hate exclusivity contracts.
I’m so glad I work in an industry where I can get away with using Libre Office.
Totally agree.
I don’t even bother clicking on video links on random instances. Most are broken, and the rest are incredibly slow.
Why do Shorts even exist? They’re just videos that are worse (no time bar, cropped to portrait, description and comments etc are even harder to read)
99/2000ish i suspect? It was an Optus@Home cable connection when “netstats” was still used. It was sold as an “unlimited” plan, but really it was 10x the average download of your node.
For us, it really was unlimited because we were the only people on our node for ages. As more people connected, we started hitting the limit pretty regular.
You could also spy on your net neighbours usage because the cable modem logging (available via telnet and a default username and password) showed every connection on your node. Not sure of the technical side of this - I think because cable was in a daisy chain from node to properties and back?
Because we were early adopters, sending +++ATH0 in ping packets was super effective too heh.
God I loved that book series.
God I hated that TV series.

I bought this game in July 2023 for some reason, and have 60ish hours in it.
I randomly fire it up every so often because it’s quick to load, quick to get in to action and actually playing, and most importantly it’s fun - you know, what games are meant to be!
Vampire Survivors is the other time sink in this genre. Unfortunately I have that on PC and mobile. That’s bad for productivity.
If you ever needed further proof that crypto is a grift…
