That would’ve been the 286. Practically ancient history

HOPEFULLY this is the beginning of the end for HDMI.

I bought an old Lenovo hotel front desk computer I was going to turn into a router, but it didn’t have a pcie slot. So after I got the right computer and turning that into my router, I used that wrong computer as my nextcloud host (Debian, docker, AIO Nextcloud). It works well enough for people seeing my availability, family calendar, file server front end, and CardDAV. I don’t think it of be able to handle video/audio calls because of the hardware though.

Nextcloud does almost everything you want. Be aware though that is is pretty dang fragile. You can export calendars and have both public and private web access for calendars.

Not meant as an attack, just giving you more info on a more open and dedicated community for this type of post.

But if there was such a community, I’m sure it would be on the private matrix channels and other chat platforms for each instance’s admins and mods.

Inb4 removal. Also, this is the community for calling out mod and admin actions: [email protected]

I met Al Gore as a kid, does that count?

It doesn’t get more hipster than the open source equivalent for the original alternative OS for PowerPC Macs (BeOS). The BeOS guys might still have been kicking around if Steve Jobs didn’t come back to Apple

Qualcomm I doubt will be any better, which means if AMD or Intel don’t step up in the ARM space, then the best bet is nVidia and their 95% GPU market share.

Just do it like the US govt and use code words; $435 for a hammer, $600 for a toilet seat, and $7000 for a coffee maker (1980’s dollars adjusted for inflation $1315, $1814, and $21159 respectively). How else would we keep secret projects “off” the books?

Washington State’s bill would ban offline 3d printing and essentially force all printers to include DRM to stop undesirable printing.

Coding has been ruled as free speech. Forcing this into code is no different imho than being forced to say Trump is the greatest and I love him!! anytime you wanted to speak.

Last time I ordered from Amazon they couldn’t even arsed to ship my product (their warehouse to courier) within 10 days of ordering it. Even then it came used missing parts listed as new. Get your slop faster now I guess

Because you gotta go to where the people are else they won’t hear the message.

I have an instance running, but haven’t had a ton of time to dedicate on getting it the way I need it. I need a calendar that is accessible anonymously via the web for people to know my availability. File server, CalDAV, and CardDAV I was able to get separate solutions for.

The nextcloud AIO instance that hadn’t been working since September suddenly started working after I updated it. This was all after their forums did fuck all to help except tell me to get gud. I knew the problem wasn’t on me or my config and I feel so vindicated

This is why monopolies on teams and player likenesses for games is a bad thing.

The examples you’ve given are of a regulatory system that has been captured by private interests.

All regulatory systems are captured by some interest whether it be private corporations to families to ideological groups.

These are the interests that need regulation, they have turned on its face a system that is meant to protect the people from them and are using it to protect themselves from consequences of their own exploitation. Regulation isn’t exploitation by default.

Hard disagree. Regulation by it’s design is meant to change something and with that change something will be made to have a disadvantage.

Exploitation happens when regulation is written in ways that entrench incumbents or erode civil liberties.

That’s what regulations do.

The solution is not to get rid of all regulation,

It is the only fair thing to do, all other options are about trying to create equity and usually failing at best and making it worse.

it’s regulation that constrains power rather than concentrating it.

Not in practice. This isn’t a recent history thing either.

Your examples are a symptom of what is wrong with the current system, not a demonstration of its function.

Ignoring reality doesn’t make thing right though.
