Yeah only makes sense if you call it “desktop *NIX dominance” or maybe just “non-Windows dominance.”

Yeah and good luck mentioning that macOS is UNIX.
Microwaves aren’t resonant or anything fancy — they’re just dielectric heating.

Completely agree.
The Wikipedia article itself has this to say:
Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors who are unable to support the new extensions.
By that logic Lemmy/Mastodon/fediverse are already extinguished. Those of us in the fediverse are already “marginalized” wrt Twitter/Threads/Facebook/whatever.
There are very good reasons to hate Meta, but personally, I think EEE isn’t the biggest issue.
Slack killed IRC integration mid 2018.
What exactly did Slack “allow” though? The continued existence of an ancient protocol with a niche but dedicated following of predominantly “old school” tech people?
Absolutely.
Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.
Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.
And then Slack killed that feature…but it absolutely didn’t kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.
My prediction is it’ll be the same — what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller “proper” instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.
Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong…
Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn’t help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).
Either way, glad this is “only” a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.
AFAIK in the USA you can’t have the main batteries be replaceable (I think an aux battery for wireless functions is allowed…).
EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.
What country? AFAIK in the US you can’t make the batteries replaceable. If they are wirelessly linked they can have auxiliary batteries for that, but (I believe) that’s different than the main battery…
EDIT: I seem to be thinking of California, maybe not all of US.
If you can get to work on city streets, there’s a good chance you can bike or take public transportation. Nothing evil about that!
I hope them publicly advocating for this backfires spectacularly.
“First they game for gay marriage, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t gay. Then they came for the abortions, and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t need an abortion. Then they came for divorce, and…fuck, that might be a real a pain in the ass. Maybe I won’t vote for these asshats.”
— some people, hopefully…
We really need to see info from the BIOS — exact CPU model, RAM speed, etc.
As others have pointed out, this is a pretty anachronistic build — i586 with DDR1 is just weird, so it’s possible there’s some really niche hardware and you may need an exotic kernel (or kernel options) to get anything to boot.
That said: have you just tried running a standard live or install CD from that time period? You could try booting a 2001 Slackware installer to see what happens.
Whoa, I used Slackware for basically that same time frame (IBM — not Lenovo — ThinkPad 600e, which was pretty ancient even at the time). Good stuff!
I live in a very high CoL area, and the fact that you meet people in your neighborhood who are socioeconomically different — in large part due to very strong tenant protections — is really neat.
Can you post the CPU info? I think it should be available from the BIOS.
Basically sounds like the Tesla game plan, which was super effective: roadster (which is purely a toy for the rich) and a little later the Model S (practical EV), and then introduce an affordable model.
This implies that eventually people will strap rusty boxes to their head though, so grain of salt with the analogy…
A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers…
I wonder if this is width at waterline vs. overall width confusion?
