@mos_8502 @marioguzman Nobody hates Mac OS design as much as someone who loves Mac OS design.  @mos_8502 If you love your printer, you know nothing about computers. If you hate your printer, you know a little about computers. If you fear your printer, you work in tech.  @mos_8502@studio8502.ca

 Hmmm...if I may suggest, make the camera a Tesla brand and have people also question *which* one will explode! π @mos_8502 I hate to like, sound like a broken record, but they desperately need another Jobs-like person to run the show. You can tell the bean counters are running things and it sucks. Apparently Usenet is back, under new management, and actually doing something about the spam problem. Nice to see. Usenet, IRC, SMTP, FTP, Gopher -- these are the original protocols of the Internet, before the Web ate the universe. Things were better when they were dominant in their areas. We were outside corporate control, governments could barely be bothered to participate let alone police, we considered these things to be solved problems.  @mos_8502 I very much welcome a revival of the #Usenet! This is my preferred fall-back, when #reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and others finally aren't useable any more. Maybe I'll even think of switching my decade-old (but very fine) #slrn setup to Gnus or another #Emacs-based workflow if I can find out how to sync my state across multiple machines... π€ |
Word of advice to newbies: donβt go crazy buying gear, especially new at retail, all at once. Get the minimal tools you need. And when it comes to tools, first buy the cheapest you can find that looks like itβll do the job. If that breaks, then buy the more expensive one, preferably used - hell, sometimes we old timers give gear away. People give me stuff all the time, and I try to pay it forward.
