My first free software contributions were probably to AbiWord back in 2000-something. I've been using Linux on the desktop since floppy disks were the main installation method.

@Viss @xgranade ugh literally two days ago, I got an error from their dumb site that showed the complete stack and version info. They've learned nothing. The only reason I have a dumb account is they got hacked and offered free credit monitoring. I wish I had the time to sue them for complete incompetence with my data. I didn't agree to them having it.

@carnage4life@mas.to lol. quite possibly the dumbest way to measure adoption when some are projecting their AI costs will match labor costs by the end of the year 🙃
"What is the dumbest thing that could happen?" remains unbeaten

@darkuncle For real. Several relationships later and half of my life... I've realized the one thing I really struggle with is a pessimist. Can't live with that anymore.
@nerdpr0f@infosec.exchange the name brings back good memories of Greece for me though. I suppose I'll just focus on that

@timbray@mastodon.cloud @Pxtl@mastodon.social They have been flagging or suppressing all Twitter news, almost nothing related has made it to the front page. It's really weird.
"Calories in, calories out" was always wrong, we knew it was wrong intuitively, yet people continued to push it for decades.

I'm surprised that people had positive memories of John C. Dvorak. All I remember of him was a period (couple of decades?) where he was bitingly negative about Linux and even Apple.
He ignorantly shit on people's hard work for a living and I was grateful when he stopped being relevant. Even now he has passed I can't recall any positive moments he's left behind.
I'm disappointed to tell you that Masters of the Universe is in fact NOT a movie adaptation of the Tom Wolfe book

@darkuncle@infosec.exchange @tbortels@infosec.exchange yeah it's that time of year when you can watch the fires start closer and closer each passing week
