Ah thank you, it looked familiar but I couldn’t place it.

Someone once snuck a porn image with an Asian lady in a “Christmas” CD of a magazine, those with apps and media and an auto play menu. You could only find it if you opened the disc as a folder with right click and browsed deep into the subdirectories… Which I of course as a kid with nothing to do, at a time when you paid internet connection based on time, did. It was an indescribably wonderous discovery.

Cyberdeck kids slay

lol no, I remember altavista categories sending you to shops. But it was a sane environment. Now the world’s gone crazy and the web with it.

They don’t do nuance very well. A minor problem is a thing to solve NOW whatever the cost.

Sure, we do all sorts of things to function in modern society, doesn’t necessarily make it easy, or make escapism less attractive

Apple Lisa? Apple II? The first core 2 duo macbooks were actually cheaper than the competition when they came out. I bought one. That’s it I think.

Assembly?

Test? You mean assessment?

The C64 and Amiga 500 Plus had no internet. At least back then.

I think it’s simply that modern life is too far removed from what our instincts evolved to handle… A shitty life or death situation is something we’re more equipped to handle (at least in our imagination) than societal problems so big that are effectively impossible for us to influence.

This world is too much for Alexa too

I guess each embassy could use a few anti-air missile batteries to protect themselves.

Is it too much effort to write wtf the package is?

mold: A Modern Linker

mold is a high-performance drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers, designed to speed up builds. In our August 2026 benchmarks, it links 4.9x faster than LLVM lld and 1.9x faster than wild at the median; see Benchmark for the full results.

I tried following the source but the the third link deep just points to a dead google drive address. I’m not American but I wondered about the meaning of “knows”. I knew people who died in car crashes but none of them were close.

If you look at it right now the only reason you don’t have home AI as a commonplace solution is because the manufacturer has chosen not to sell it to you.

And memory shortage. By buying up all RAM they ensured that you can’t run much more than lobotomized models.

Other manufactures will arise then. Won’t be quick, won’t be painless, but the US is not the whole world.
