Seriously, it feels like 1999 internet. And I’m loving it!

56K modem handshake sound intensifies

CBOE will create options for it pretty soon after IPO, probably that week or the next. You’ll definitely be able to buy puts on it before you’ll be allowed to short sell it.

It has become copypasta, but it is pretty much a direct quote of something Stallman said.

God I love the Cisco Call Manager default hold music and I don’t know why. I don’t mind holding at all when it’s this.

When you see “Account created: 1997”.

“These are the sacred scrolls of the ancient ones.”

I have boots older than some people that are posting on Lemmy today…

Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

This is the first lesson you have to learn as a Linux enthusiast, NEVER run commands you don’t know from the internet

“Nah, just curl this random web address and pipe it over to a sudo bash shell, everything will be fine!”

You’re dreaming if you think I’m not going to wget it and read it to see what it does first.

I mean that is the problem of too many people being on that one instance.

From what I understand, capacity isn’t the issue, it’s that they’re being repeatedly DDoS’ed

You’re free to use sync for Lemmy in much the same way you can run a Spotify client in Linux. One does not destroy the other.

I don’t understand these mini-Stallmans and their identical attitudes like this. One Stallman is enough, please develop a personality and realize that things do come in shades of grey.

I contribute to FOSS projects & I love Linux and have been using it professionally for a couple of decades, but I’m never going to stand up an LDAP server on it when Active Directory exists, the same way I’m never going to use Windows as a Docker host or a network load balancer.

Use the best tool for the job, don’t be a zealot.

Hockey is definitely the sport helped the most by HD video.

A tank top would have a hole in the middle and two straps, not a single strap in the middle and two holes.

Those are tighty whities.

I don’t know if the Coogan Law would apply here, but if it does, they’d get at least 15%.
