@futurebird@sauropods.win @mansr@society.oftrolls.com Priorities!

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt My son says "You /have/ to put a like on that one!"

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Absolutely guessed it.

@lproven It would be nice if (non-Android) Linux phones were an option.

@ascentale @bikenite A8) #BikeNite

@blogdiva@mastodon.social @cvvhrn@sfba.social @stacey_campbell@aus.social @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social A) There are great places to visit in the US for people who are already here. B) No way I'm going to risk crossing a border into the U.S. under the current regime.

@ascentale@sfba.social @realSiegfried@troet.cafe @bikenite@fedigroups.social A3) Ghost Bikes #BikeNite

@ascentale @kimu @v_perjorative @bikenite A4b) I suspect she was a Type 45. :-/ #BikeNite

@cienmilojos @blainsmith Thanks for the suggestion.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social @cvvhrn@sfba.social @stacey_campbell@aus.social @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social ...which means I can't visit family in Canada or the UK.

@Geri Sounds like that makes the point.

@_thegeoff @MLE_online That's the one!

@ICareAboutTheWorld@mas.to Whole village of tiny folk living under that one.

@SuperSelena64@vmst.io It's distinctive!

@rand@sfba.social @ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social That's really nice! #BikeNite

@jeanyves @mcmartin CP/M-68k was the objective I had in mind.

@mcmartin I wouldn't mind a somewhat minimal 68008 board to potch with.

@TimWardCam @david @macacator @NMBA @kibcol1049 Lump Hammer?

@ottercynical @lproven Other tablet operating systems are available. ;-) I do something similar now with my "work phone", which isn't provisioned with mobile service.

@xenotar Thanks. I might give that another try.

@jackeric @0xabad1dea I have actually considered doing this.

@ParadeGrotesque It's a few years since I tried that. Thanks for the suggestion! #OpenSuse

@blainsmith We did try Debian on my son's computer but it didn't work and the #debian people on Libera weren't helpful.

@bobjonkman @meganL @ascentale @bikenite Perhaps the two end ones? #BikeNite

@alipunk@thecanadian.social Proud parent moment!

@pleia2@floss.social Yes, I don't count my midrange experience as mainframe. I just meant that a lot of what we take for granted doesn't apply in i, z, etc. I tweaked the wording to make the distinction more clear.

@pleia2@floss.social Pity. It might benefit both groups!

@wood5y@mastodonapp.uk @wdlindsy@toad.social I think many of us have been saying that for a while now.

@lproven @ottercynical I don't think OnePlus is a thing here. I've thought about buying a (non-Android) flip phone with hotspot support and tethering a tablet through that. Main Android apps I would miss are Organic Maps and my bus pass.

Distracted by #SPARCstation computers.

@jackeric @0xabad1dea We're you driving green busses then?

@pleia2@floss.social I doubt I'll ever get to work on IBM mainframe, midrange or storage systems again professionally but I did manage to SYSGEN and IPL an emulated System/3.

@agraf@fosstodon.org Great! Have they added MDA support?

@Edwin085@mastodon.nl NitWit.

@pleia2@floss.social Have they tried AIX? :-)

@pleia2@floss.social I've spent very little time on mainframes. On midrange I remember how i5/OS (now IBM i, formerly OS/400), challenged my firmly-held ideas about terminals (no glass teletype!), filesystems (wait, the database goes all the way down?) and so on. I worked with it long enough to get somewhat comfortable though (F3 F3 F3...) #ibmi

@boardsofcanada@mastodon.social @nigecube@oldbytes.space

@radhitya Did test that a while ago, thanks.

@ottercynical @lproven Perhaps it depends where you live. Are there certain makes and models to look for?

@pleia2@floss.social I should learn more Linux, I suppose. :-\

@cmconseils@mastodon.social Is Clun pronounced "Cleen"?

@catsalad@infosec.exchange My son says "It looks like a cat freaking out!" :-)

@mwhjohnson Thanks. That one has a nice UI as I recall.

@wikkit@mastodon.social @klausman@mas.to No! ;-)

@greenpeace@mastodon.social Don't be giving them ideas. Space Force will be up there stealing people's sunlight. :-(
