I’m shocked (haha pun) that it still worked but it did.

Also the cord from the power supply to the outlet ran next to the sink.

I was once so broke that I couldn’t afford a case for a computer I had.

So I brought my computer to a LAN in a trash bag and set it up on the host’s electric stove.

Yeah it was hilarious when Intel did it.

The sentiment is appreciated, but this is fake. It’s taken from when Intel’s price tanked and they put out that Tweet.

This is top level enshittification. You’re showing the user an ad that is, as OP says, the opposite of what they want, and then charging Truth Social for the impression. Magnificent!

Pretty much. They’ve made some changes but it’s unclear if has changed enough to not be able to federate.

I knew two of my great grandmothers (yay for really young parents!). I know I met two others but didn’t really know them.

I was told that I met my great great grandmother once when I was a toddler but I don’t remember it. She died at age 99.

We’ve been explicitly told at work to be courteous when asking Copilot for help because it gives better answers that way.

For everyone who isn’t trying to mine crypto, yeah.

I turn off Folding@Home in the summer. Otherwise it’s on 24x7.

Of course you can fork it, but you can’t call it Mastodon. That’s trademarked. Just like how you can fork Firefox but have to call it Waterfox or Iceweasel or Librewolf.

The confusion here is between Mastodon the company and Mastodon the software and instances of the running software. Eugen Rochko owns the first two. He also owns the instances mastodon.social and mastodon.online. Everything else is outside of his control.

It was never controlled by a single person to begin with.

The computer program called Mastodon was (and still is for now) completely controlled by Eugen Rochko. In the future it will be controlled by a non-profit.

See this and this for more info.

You can see exactly what he made in 2023. The report is available here.

My only regret is that I have…boneitis!
