@stuff Oh, I didn't know you had a Neon. I had a 2005 one for about 6 years.

Always weird when the people I follow on mastodon.social are talking technology, and the ones on mastodon.technology are talking politics.

I'm somewhat surprised that you can't latch them without unbuckling yourself. If it's unlatched, that seems like the time you would least want to be unbuckled. You've lost one safety, for falling out, but you'd have to disable your second one to fix it... That is kind of boggling.

@fribbledom https://scholars-stage.blogspot.com/2020/05/on-days-of-disorder.html A discussion on riots, and why they happen. It tries to explore some of the riots where there's no way to blame it on being left out of the social contract.

@chillja @fribbledom I wouldn't call them that, it's what they call themselves. I usually refer to them as the 'Fa.

@chillja @fribbledom It has a specific meaning of a specific organized group of thugs here, it's not just "anti fascists." They're also the ones setting all of the fires, and inciting all of the riots and looting. Calling them "Anti Fascists" is like calling North Korea the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." or a certain German state the "Holy Roman Empire."

He's chipping away at concrete so he can get weapons to throw at the police, to incite them to attack a peaceful black lives matter protest. The protestors are having none of it and turn him over to the police.

@chillja @fribbledom That's the thing about america. Our Liberals aren't the least bit like foreign liberals, our conservatives aren't really like your conservatives, and our antifa isn't anything at all like your anti-fascists. All of the words and concepts get twisted by the people who play word games here.

@js Fido Opus Seadog Standard Interface Layer?

@lastfuture @fribbledom I looked up the cost of 64 gigabit DDR4 chips. $55 in 1000 quantity. Almost all of the cost of that board is the memory chip. Honestly, if I got one of these it would just be for the novelty. It might be useful for running VMs on the board, but almost all of the uses I have for a Pi can be handled by the 2gb and 4gb models.

The Living Computer museum was an important piece of preservation and archival for an industry that would rather you forget everything they’ve done that’s no longer for sale.

This is a huge loss, and I fear we are unlikely to see anything like it in North America again.
