@atpfm@mastodon.social You're right that the masses care about convenience and price over quality. But we should be thanking, not dismissing, the minority who do care about quality. Caring about quality is not a character flaw. Those are the people who push for improvements that trickle down to everyone else. Is the person who spends more and inconveniences themself for a 1% improvement in video source quality all that different than someone who buys a Mac Pro to do... whatever John does on his Mac Pro?

@chockenberry@mastodon.social Pretty sure I was still using rcs (not even cvs) to version control my HTML files back then. Actual snippet from one of my html files:

@siracusa@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social @overcastfm@mastodon.social Marco's description of dealing with servers in a data center took me right back to the 90s!

@jschauma@mstdn.social hi.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social Haskell proves that people will make programming languages that no one wants or needs, so I say no.

@christianselig@mastodon.social I'm so sorry, Christian. Thank you for all of your incredibly hard work on Apollo. It’s no exaggeration to say that it truly made my life better. I am looking forward to hearing what's next, and I will support it in any way I can.

@EndlessMason@hachyderm.io @chockenberry@mastodon.social True, but also I don't think I have edited that file since then 😅

@RecDiffs@mastodon.social @siracusa@mastodon.social did you not have a Geek Code block in your Usenet signature?
