Does anyone know of any up-to-date tech instances that have Threads blocked? Was considering moving to another instance that is more update to date like oldbytes.space if it has Threads blocked :P.
There's a bit of irony in my comment as I use Facebook but that's because my family uses it and they won't let me escape it
Due to suggestions I'm gonna put info about old and obscure OSes I find on my website using MkDocs instead of writing for #Wikipedia.
I know MkDocs is more geared towards project documentation but I think it will work for the time being, unless anyone has software that could work instead of MkDocs as it has the option to search... which will be much better than users struggling to find the page manually with my shitty GitHub pages site.
Kinda wanna write some #Wikipedia articles for old Linux distros people havenโt really heard of.
I added an external link to the #Yggdrasil#Linux page at least that has iso format of Yggdrasil Linux images.
Kind of worried about doing something wrong though, like whether a page I made is actually worthy or not. Like Storm Linux for example. Thereโs no page on that but there is for the company that made it.
@siliconundergro@SinclairSpeccy I second this. Focus on your own blog first for permanence / owning the content fully. Distill into Wikipedia later, let the idiot mods have their day if they want youโll still have your own site and writing you control.
48 years ago on December 16, 1975, IMS Associates began shipping its IMSAI 8080 computer kits.
Originally shipped as kits for assembly by the user, the IMSAI 8080 gained popularity, and eventually, the company shifted to producing fully assembled units.
In total, between 17,000 and 20,000 units of the IMSAI 8080 were manufactured.
Subsequently, an additional 2,500 units were produced under the Fischer-Freitas name
Wtf itโs been a few days since I got my fillings and now I canโt eat properly as it hurts where the tooth that got the filling is. Does this mean Iโm gonna need a root canalโฆ?
Tried to eat chips at least two days ago and it hurt and now it eats to eat my sandwich which isnโt even that hard or aggressive on my teeth
29 years ago on December 15, 1994, the first version of Netscape Navigator released.
Inspired by the success of the Mosaic web browser, Netscape Navigator was developed by Netscape Communications. Netscape Navigator aimed to capitalise on the commercial potential of web browsers. Initially offered without charge for all non-commercial users, it quickly gained popularity.
In the mid-1990s Netscape Navigator became the standard web browser, until IE cane alongโฆ
Interesting to think that years ago with retro computers and all that kids built with computer kits and such but then it died outโฆ only for this kind of thing to come around again with STEM projects.
Kinda wish I could build my own computer of scraps like itโs a 8800 machine lol
Thinking about how for school I had to research a "leader" whether it was a political leader, sporting leader or business-minded leader.
I picked Sir Clive Sinclair as I didn't know what to do at the time, but now I am wondering what other people could have worked. Steve Wozniak? Jack Tramiel?
@SinclairSpeccy Jobs was the businessman, Woz was the techie (In my opinion: No Woz == No Apple)
Many people loathe him, but Alan Sugar was a good Business leader. I say was because he never moved with the changing times, and is now mostly irrelevant.
@SinclairSpeccy Leader can make it tricker, since many werenโt. Woz certainly wasnโt. Jobs was (so recommend folklore.org if you want to hear what the people who were there havenโt say). Grace Hopper wasnโt a leader, but she was super badass and interesting for sure.
If you had asked me, I would have suggested Dag Hammarskรถld, because few know of him today, but more should. His death changed so much of our world today, and not for the better. :(
