Oh here we go… rolls eyes

This is not “chilling to free speech”.

Spewing hatred and demonstrably false utter bullshit and stirring up people knowingly is what he has and continues to do. Just like any number of other sociopathic fuckwits out there and through the ages.

“Personal responsibility and accountability “ is exacty what he’s being held accountable for because /his/ actions, /his/ drivel, /his/ psychotic vitriol was /knowingly/, /willingly/, and /joyfully/ used to cause these problems.

Your logic would dictate that no one is ever at fault for causing anything. It’s the dipshits who are dumb enough to go with them who are at fault.

I mean, step back and listen to yourself for a moment.

Unless you are too far gone you MIGHT recognize the absurdity of your views.

I am so fucking tired of human trash like him, Glenn Beck, Joe Rogan, Trump, insert hundreds of other pieces of shit getting to do literally whatever they want because “personal accountability” dictates that what they said was just words and free speech and they aren’t at fault.

Give. Me. A. Fucking. Break.

Pretty OK. But, like, wtf is the point? You’ll be buying a slightly cheaper than a regular laptop laptop with a shitty OS on hardware that will /literally/ have support expiration date assigned to it.

There’s no compelling reason to buy something like this. Unless you are a really basic user who hops on band wagons or is a massive google fanboy for some unfathomable reason.

Hahaha what? Really? ChromeOS is a clusterfuck and to get even remotely useful beyond awful web app functionality requires running proper Linux desktop apps or Android apps.

Which negates the entire point of the OS and you might as well just run a regular desktop Linux where you don’t have to jump through hoops to do things and don’t have Google crammed up your ass.

Google does not understand iteration. Like at all. It’s pathetic.

Lol.

Luckily no floppies. But the Japanese are obsessed with over utilizing spreadsheets and want to create ones with VBA scripts for inter office use that require multiple users to utilize at once and they share them out via google drive. And their macros and scripts have hard coded pathing (don’t get me started) so they are hunting for the same drive letter path.

It took me a week to convince them what was happening when they first tried doing some of this. Beyond the hard coded paths they also had inline kanji and it was breaking everything on our American systems. Like excel would detect a broken and just delete the vba bin from the xlsx. It was kind of funny.

Yes, clearly. I just was amused that that dipshit of all people was your go to example.

That sort of thing in a totally unrelated sort of comment tends to be a huge dogwhistle.

But I clearly just want you to “discriminate” against the wealthy middle aged male white asshole. (Disclosure, I’m a middle class middle aged white male asshole)

Tbf, $1000 in 2005 money is hair over $1500 in 2022 money. That $250 GPU would be ~$380 going strictly off inflation.

Right?

I mean, like I said, a lot of the complaints I have aren't really the fault of Workspaces.

We actually use the multiuser functionality of Sheets a lot but I still run into constant issues. And the fact a huge chunk of this crap does /not/ play nice with /multi-user local workstations/, in 2022, drives me bonkers.

Yeah, no thanks.

I work in a company that has forced Workspaces upon us and it randomly is a nightmare. Tons of functionality you get in Excel is not there. It is a complete nightmare adjusting access to random files. You often end up with files and folders "owned" by a user who no longer exists and then we have to get the central IT to go fix it.

Ugh. Everything being browser based with crap desktop clients is the worst. They also want to constantly share crap via Google Drive and, unless I have missed something major, you can't run Google Drive, in Windows at least, under multiple signed in users with the same drive letter. You'll just get access denied errors. THAT makes shortcuts and all a complete fucking nightmare.

I have to often shrug when my users have issues and send in a report to the Japanese head office and hope they respond timely. I know /that/ isn't a workspaces fault, but it just compounds things.

Lol why was Joe Rogan your random pick?

I actually miss the thinklight. I used it a ton on my units that came with it. It was very useful imo

Doing the Lord’s Work lol.

I need to rebuild my Ccmp collection. I ended up selling or giving it all away due to having to move. sniff

I ran a NeXTstation Turbo Color as my daily driver up till around 2010. Me and some friends ported over newer line and what not for openstep 4.2.

33mhz 040 with 128mb of 60ns EDO RAM, SCSI HDD. Amazing what you could do with adequate performance on that.

Also ran a BeOS r5 system with massive amounts of hacks and updates for way longer than was really reasonable lol

I would love to learn more from actual Ukrainians. I have spoken with a few. It’s heart breaking how ridiculous every corner of the Internet can be for one topic or another.

You think you find a sanctuary and then… more of the same.

It amazes me that apparently every war is just a “proxy war of the US vs INSERT COUNTRY”

Really? That “who gives a shit” attitude is extremely shortsighted, as well.

I love how this gets rediscovered by people every few years :)

I still have a floppy set somewhere. I loved it. I ran it in a 486 IBM all in one I had with a compatible NIC for a long time as a conversation piece and guest light surfing machine. Amazing how well it ran up till fairly recently when standards outstripped its browser too much

Yep. That is clearly it.

Good lord, the comments on the parent link immediately devolved into dreck.

Right? But, really, it isn't Trump he is reminding you of, it's every spoiled rich manchild who has surrounded themselves with yes men and willing fanbois and now believes their own shit. Not to mention he is getting to the age where your brain really starts turning to mush if you aren't proactively trying to prevent it. Watching a lot of Gen Xers become Boomer Lite is fascinating and infuriating.

The whole "retarded rigmarole" that he initiated?

Hahahah ur funny!

You really believe he is “committed to transparency in moderation and the algorithm”?

I have some real estate on Mars for sale if you are interested.

Tbh, the more I have to deal with NTs the more convinced I am that the majority of them do not have much of an inner world or defined personality.

There seems to be a complete inability for real introspection or even “third thoughts” as Pratchett liked to call them; thoughts about thoughts.

Augh! Why the lack of capitalization but intact punctuation?

Hype is hype.

It’s blows that they over promised and got bit by it. And others being bit by it also blows. But betting your academic and professional career in the promises of a third party company, /especially a semiconductor one/, is naive at best and stupid at worst.

Claiming “Intel failed science” is the worst kind of dramatic hyperbole.

Also, this whole idea that some people can’t finish their post docs etc because the computer isn’t ready wreaks of poor planning on their part simply because they were never guaranteed that their project would even properly run/work/scale/whatever on the new system without potentially years more of work.

It’s a postdoc whining. Literally nothing more.

“Waaa” is all I read.

Or… /Code/ Management System!

.. yeah I have no idea. I barely glanced at this and I immediately thought of Content Management System and then had nightmare flashbacks to when I had to admin web servers running Wordpress and Whatever and ran away

Looooove Dark City!

But let’s not forget the movie that was right after The Matrix but also much better: Equilibrium

Btw, what are you future plans? Do you plan on an X system or?

Tons and tons. And they won’t be going away anytime soon.

Yes! I can’t wait to try it out soon. I have an NE2000 ISA NIC in mine. So I’ll be able to give that a go. I’ve been wanting to do some upgrades to it for awhile so now I have an excuse xD
