Thanks for the fact check. In my defense I read this on a BBS in the 90s so the details are hazy

I’ve loved Macs since the 80s and he’s honestly the worst part about them. Everyone else who worked on the team was a brilliant, creative person. He was kind of a jerk.

Steve Jobs worked out a system with the local Mercedes dealer where he’d get a new car every three months.

Why every three months? Because that was how long you could drive without a license plate, and he liked to park in handicapped spots and they couldn’t ticket him without a plate.

They work through electron tunneling through a semiconductor, so something does go through them like an old punch card reader

Solid state is kinda like a microscopic punch card.

“Over the river and through the wood” was published in 1844 and depicted needing a sleigh to visit grandmother’s house on Thanksgiving.

By the 1950s snow in Vermont on Christmas was something you dreamed of.

If sharing Luigi’s manifesto is glorifying violence then so is sharing the Declaration of Independence.

Maryland is a good example of gerrymandering in a blue state.

I used to work for a big data company that tracked shares to various social networks and the frequency with which people share porn to LinkedIn was remarkably high.

If that’s the case then it will just be the class war heating up because one side finally started fighting back.

It’s one thing to mock it on pseudonymous platforms like Reddit and the fediverse.

It’s another to do it somewhere linked to your real name and job like LinkedIn.

People really hate insurance companies.

My GF is not technical and had an old, old laptop that barely ran, so I gave her an Ubuntu USB drive and helped her boot from it, but she did the install all on her own. She even fixed a printer driver issue by doing some research and installing an updated driver.

But that just goes to show that Linux isn’t exactly hard if you know how to read.

That’s not a very good dialog box. He didn’t make any changes, so discarding them doesn’t sound like a problem.
