He looks so much like Biden in that photo.

What’s the source of this interview?

So many good memories our trading mp3 files on dalnet and effnet. Wish mirc from the 90s ran on Linux today.

I guess I wasn’t meaning to recommend one over the other, I was curious what the value proposition of connecting your tv to the internet is. (The tv I have is at least ten years old and is incredibly sluggish even changing channels - I can’t imagine using the built in apps is any better. Same with our ancient Blu-ray player, just awful to use.) Or if there is no value prop and you’re forced (or nagged) to do so in order to use your tv.

I assume that any sort of streaming is offering up a surveillance buffet. I just want to limit the data as best I can.

Why are people connecting their tvs to the internet at all vs using a dedicated streaming box? Are tvs now forcing you to do so on initial setup?

I haven’t bought a tv in 10+ years - want to get another but honestly feel sketched out at the prospect of doing so.

“Well release a batgirl movie” sounds like a really ominous statement to make tbh

Decades later I still sort books when I go to a bookstore.

Almost 20 years ago I was living in China and my Mac’s hdd got corrupted. While I was able to restore the os I couldn’t get a copy of ms office anywhere - that’s when I switched over to saving everything as .rtf Wrote my dissertation in Nisus Writer Pro and still won’t fuck with any proprietary file format.

1. I like some of my integrations from phone to computer. If I ever have time to switch from iOS this will change.
2. I just don’t have time to futz with things. I have a working dev environment on my Mac and god help me if it breaks.
3. battery life on Apple Si machines is wonderful.

I love that shell!! Can you link to the seller?

I’d love to pick up a cheap used switch and do some hardware mods to it - are there any good guides?

Thanks!

Where’s a good place to find them? I was going to go back to Usenet for lack of other options, but need to look at what’s actually getting posted.

What do you like about KoReader? I think I installed it on a bold reader a while back and didn’t feel that impressed. Willing to have my mind changed though.
