Great name though :-)

So my train of thought was something like: tofu bacon… no, still kinda wrong… hey how come no weird edgy vegan brand is marketing “long pig.”

Nice!

That’s great, I didn’t even know that was a service you could get. I remember being really disappointed when I realized that a SIMM would not actually fit in one of my 386s ISA slots 😅

It was such a cool time for CPUs. Going up a generation was like getting a supercomputer. And Intel had those cartridge CPUs…

Honestly it still feels like home. Because I was kind of a moron and figured it would mean less to figure out, I registered darkstar.org (the default domain Slackware came set up with).
I few years later I actually emailed Patrick Volkerding about something and he mentioned it… I felt this strange mix of pride and shame ;-)

Welcome to Lemmy stranger.
Slackware back in the early 90s on a Compaq 386/SX20 💾

Watching something compiling is kinda like the reward for getting it to compile in the first place…

I still use an old 6x8 wireless Wacom tablet. It’s my 3rd Wacom tablet… it takes a bit of tweaking all the settings, but their software is great.
I didn’t discover that there are about 10 different nibs stored inside the pen cup for years.
I love Affinity Designer for vector work. The rope stabilizer and line editing tools are great.

Yeah, but mescaline is such a slippery slope.


If anyone that works at chipotle is watching this is the correct way to make a burrito.
Do NOT put each ingredient one after the other… that’s just a kebab without the stick. 

Take 2 Ambien, and a lorazepam and wait for the walrus to tell me what to do.

It’s nice to know there’s like 5 of us 🤣

Nope. No siblings mentioned.

Any idea if Mike and Matt Berry are related?

Don’t have to wait forever for your bread to rise!

They were great, probably put most of their profits into running a very fast FTP site.

Yeah… I got a bit heated.
There’s seemingly a longstanding issue where your tab grouping gets lost on an update, which apparently needs to be fixed by the FF devs… and I was getting harassed to update FF after ignoring the prompt yesterday (which ever yesterday that was)…
I do feel for them on the Ai point. Seems like half the folks can’t live without it and the other half think it’s the harbinger of doom for mankind. I can’t remember anything quite this divisive happening before… maybe Java, but that discussion was largely confined to the halls of academia.

As long as you’re doing it in a VM might as well try the MacOS version. IIRC the OS screen scaling and apples requirements that everything have vector or MIB mapped icons makes for a much nicer experience.
I don’t know if it works on a VM… just fondly remember using the apps on my MacBook 😅

Siri getting dumber lately?


Anyone notice siri no longer recognizes common foreign idoms anymore? Either in TTS or Ask Siri… The only concrete example I have is recognizing “Croque Monsieur” since my love for hot ham sandwiches has spanned the ages… but I feel like there’s something more nefarious at work here.
It feels like used to be able to ask for a info about random foreign words and it would at least trigger a web search for something phonetically similar, which would often get me the translation I was after. But lately* the TTS engine is militantly transforming everything into English. Obviously this is more subtle and open to other interpretations, but for example I just asked her what “hikikomori” were which got interpreted as “Hickam Morty,” with top hits for the show Rick and Morty.

For any medical advice, consult your doctor.


Not sure if I just haven’t noticed the standard disclaimer before or if it’s a new “feature” 😬
