I don't think you're going to have any effect simply due to the 1. complexity of the image, as it's a real photograph, and 2. the complexity of colors and hues in the image.

there's a reason why it's seen as a "standard test image", and not as some fodder for sexism. it's the above plus historical baggage.

it's funny, I switched to insider builds, then switched _back_ to the regular builds on a stock install of 10, and this still happened.

I uttered the same words when, after not booting up my machine for a month due to a move, I got the lovely, lovely message...

"A component of the operating system has expired."

and I was unable to boot any further. still am not. had to turn back my BIOS clock a month in order to "unlock it".

needless to say, a planned install of linux is on the way. I've had enough.

we know not what we've done, but we will soon.

the end of days is upon us, and I fear for us all.

as a hobbyist, I don't think I would ever do anything else.

as an employee/employer, become a technician. everybody needs repair work, and very few can call the result maintainable and sustainable. focusing on residential areas helps, too.

monochrome still works nowadays. I'm a large fan of the old amber monitors.

efficient use of visual and machine resources. not quite the bloat we've inherited these days. I use i3 and enjoy a blue-on-black colorscheme.

128k of RAM is enough for anybody!

lovely! more paranoia about the upcoming competition for a single political position.

as if I needed more of a reason to say "wow, this is rigged", now I see this!

I can't imagine how well this will go. november is a cake walk. january is where the fun starts.

when hobbyist computing went the way of the dodo, I hit this state, and I hit it hard.

I found that either inventing a small programming language or getting back into microcomputers worked as a cure. small, controllable, programmable systems that feature instant-on programming.

nothing between you and the machine. seems we've lost track of that idea somewhere between x86 and Javascript.

https://mynoise.net/ is also an interesting website.

not just for programming, but for relaxation. I use it to daydream when it's nasty outside. quite fun!

this should be interesting. POSIX support? I'm game.

I hope they don't try to compete with Linux. just do their own thing and see where it goes. usually the competitive edge kills projects like these.

happy to see new kernels popping up!

the thinkpad t-series is very good. I own a t450s and it's thin, light, has a great battery life and trackpad, and the screen is high resolution.

oh, and it's incredibly linux friendly.

no, THIS is what a programmer looks like!

ward cunningham has a great idea with poor execution, and he's holding years worth of commentary on various technical subjects in order to satisfy his desire to implement his idea.

I'm not a fan. I worry for the other rabbit holes of the internet that are still smart and able to be searched, mined, and mirrored easily.

working on converting these markup dumps to HTML.

if anybody has any insight, please let me know.

woo!

right to repair is something I never want to go away. I'm thankful for these kinds of organizations fighting a battle that I can't.

the least I can offer is a good shout of approval!

if they take issue with it, they can go after myself and the internet archive.

I'm not concerned.

no problem! I'll be updating it if there are any changes or new pages added to the wiki.

I really have to wonder why he did it instead of just migrating everything to a strictly static set of pages. no javascript.

the wiki's been locked for quite a while. why not keep it that way. the existing commentary is at least more valuable than the ability to edit it.

provide a static mirror, ward, and I won't have to mirror your "database" of json! ;)

see my comment floating somewhere in this thread.

it took some digging but I managed to grab a dump of every page in JSON. he hid it well but I scraped everything and put it up for people to see (it's in its original markup form, and I'm working on converting it to HTML again.)

so, because of the weird format that ward has gone with, and because I'm not a fan of the federated wiki concept as he sees it, I mirrored the JSON dump of the old c2 wiki, did a little bit of processing on it and generated a directory for all the pages.

if someone wants me to, I can archive it up.
