“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.
Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”
And after looking into it, I think they’re 100% correct.
 Does anyone have a good name for those markers that make you realise you shifted tracks again? (e.g in this new reality, there’s a tree where there used to be none, erc…) Boosting for a friend looking for PowerPC (as in Classic Mac) developers... cc @mediaarchaeologylab  @n1ckfg @mediaarchaeologylab gdi i should have chased that curiosity more lmao

 Upon powerup, the CPU begins to execute code. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

 @foone That's not even the half of it, there are multiple CPUs involved in just powering and bootstrapping the main CPU before we even get into Intel ME etc. In a post-apocalyptic situation, the main reason we'll all be using 6502s/Z80s won't be radiation, it'll be because we physically can't bootstrap anything more recent.

Hot take: a lot of people complaining about how manufacturing has gone down the shitter and nothing lasts anymore have simply changed their buying habits in line with newly available products. The stuff nanna used to buy that lasted 50 years is still available. You can still buy a hand spun jumper, a hand woven blanket, a handmade pair of shoes and a hand forged knife. They cost a week's wage. Exactly like back in nanna's day.

 @coolandnormal The higher-price, higher quality options are disappearing. I went to the only distributor of residential-scale commercial washers and dryers in the city — and found out they don’t have any. My next best option is to go to a major retailer and buy a well-known brands’s “commercial” line of washers & dryers - because they come with the best warranty. @coolandnormal people ask me why I buy T shirts from an Australian maker at up to ten times the price they pay. I have a drawer of great T shirts thus accumulated some of which are twenty years old and all still look like new… Also helps me to stay trim as I steam through middle age because I want to continue wearing them! I think my favourite project this year was the Dewalt battery powered Raspberry Pi Cash Register. I love making stuff that's practical. #raspberrypi #maker  @birdibirdson the swords are unique! it reminds me of Kingdom Heart's keyblades. Brilliant job. Tyrannosaurus rex evolved closer to the release of the Macintosh Performa 5400 (Director’s Edition) than to Stegosaurus.

 That's because their relatively tiny arms with two fingers meant Tyrannosaurus rex had evolved better typing skills than Stegosaurus.  @NanoRaptor  Suddenly, a lamb curry appears!  If someone can boost this until the unmasked man at the airport with the hacking cough sees this, it would be greatly appreciated. |
