You forgot the kids of the Iranian regime.

For thousands of years it has been like this. The internet showed everyone how it has always worked:

The rich vs. the rest of us.

why are we like this?

Looks like it’s meant to help you escape K8S, a worthy goal.

Because we have let the clowns be in charge and the stock market is full of monopolistic shitshows instead of actual competition.

Fucks my phone up. Don’t see video, hear audio, have to kill browser.

I don’t think X works as well or as widely as you may think.

Amen.

Try out Desqview/X on that 486 if you get a chance!

You may be thinking of DesqViewX:

Edit for a little personal anecdote: ran a 2-line (2400, then later 14.4k) WWIV BBS under this on a 386sx in the 90s. What an awesome time that was.

Good.

This is what Republicans focus on instead of holding pedophiles, rapists and oligarchs to account.

Remember forever.

Hope you’re feeling better - something was pretty wrong if you were grouping Guy Fieri in.

I’m an old man, but I also remember the reply-to header as option if your setup precludes you changing the from address header.

I’m trying to make a totally self-contained community software, sort of like an old-school BBS but via HTTP.

Don’t need a db or anything, just run this and it works.

It’s not significantly different than other software, it’s just a slightly different approach that’s probably most interesting and fun for a developer that’s also interested in simple to host software.

seconding Tidal.

but also feeling like buying more physical media going forward.

My friend, have you read any news at all for the last year?

Sure, that’s what the DVR bit on the pc is for. 👍

I mean … I didn’t disconnect my internet.

If you want a project, you could check if your TV already has an antenna input (usually a coax input) and grab a $40 indoor HDTV antenna - if it looked interesting you could always invest more for a roof antenna and/or stuff for doing DVR with it.

I live in a major metro in the US. I get something like 100+ digital HD channels. Most of it I have never looked at to know what it is. I get the major broadcast networks, which means I can see most sports.

For me, when I bought the antenna, tuner and pc, there wasn’t wild price gouging, so I was done for < $500, a one-time cost that netted me essentially a broadcast HDTV DVR setup. The only ongoing cost is $35 a year for guide data if you want to be able to schedule recordings.

YMMV.
