I’ve not read All-Star yet, but I keep getting it recommended to me. Thanks!

Have you ever read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman%3A_Red_Son ?

I’m not a big fan of Superman stuff, but I found that one to be pretty interesting.

Youtube has been hiding videos from me for years. I’d look at my “Subscriptions” page, and wouldn’t see anything new. Then I’d go to the channel’s page, and see a few new videos.

That prompted me to start using my RSS reader instead of youtube subscriptions. A more reliable experience, for sure.

Sorry no :(

It’s an “IRL” friend only thing, and I don’t want to associate this account with my real name (My IRC instance has my name tied to it)

But I’d be happy to help you get connected to one of the public servers if you need! :)

I <3 IRC

I still run my own server. My friends and I hang out and play with chat bots and send memes and comics back and forth. It’s a pretty chill place to hang out, and it’s super easy to self-host.

Go take back the web that was taken from you.

I deleted all of our DNS records. As it turns out, you can’t make money when you can’t resolve dns records :P

Because it’s unfortunately still true. I have a video-card that I can’t upgrade because it nvidia drivers keep breaking my display. I’ve had to swap distros because some don’t work well with my audio-card, or my wifi-card. I was able to get them working eventually, but pretending that it wasn’t a pain in the ass would be a lie.

This attitude of “everything works fine, and if it doesn’t that means you are doing it wrong” is why people don’t like trying Linux. We have to be realistic about the experience. It’s massively better than it used to be, but pretending its flawless is just dishonest.

I have to be oncall sometimes, and my teammates know that when they hear “kburgugh”, that means I’ll be online in a few minutes

It looks like someone made a fork based on a toddler’s drawing of a fork

IRC is still around! I run my own server and everything. It’s still a blast :)

I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve sent some variation of “Yeah, so I think we should reboot the server:wq” into irc

I love IRC. I run my own instance where my friends and I hang out. It’s super easy, and a lot of fun!

They got a lot of money by selling out their users. They are still getting a lot of money by selling out their users.

Wait, you mean the people that hoard all of our resources and don’t pay taxes will leave? Oh noes! 😱 What will we do without them…

LoL, that wasn’t the original internet. That was years after the internet had been around. <joke here about these kids needing to get off my lawn>

Maybe. As a buyer, I’ve had a few things never show up. Not stolen or anything, the tracking info says that they never showed up. But eBay still refuses to give me a refund.

You mean the other side that has been building up and supporting these systems that keep them “powerless”, even when they have had power? The same side that keeps capitulating and trying to “reach accross the isle”?

Did it? All of the laptops I’ve gotten in the past 5 years still have those ports. But I don’t buy Apple stuff.
