Yeah, fair point. My first computer was a Tandy TRS80, followed by a ZX81. You pretty much had to learn BASIC to get them to do anything at all.

TIL, way too late! Cheers mate
Damn. Lol I kept that turbo button down all the time, thinking turbo = faster. TBF to myself it’s a reasonable mistake! Mind you, I think a lot of what slowed that machine was the hard drive. Faster than loading stuff from a cassette tape but only barely. You could switch the computer on and go make a sandwich while windows 3.1 loads.
I could be misremembering but I seem to recall the digits on the front of my 486 case changing from 25 to 33 when I pressed the button. That was the only difference I noticed though. Was the beige bastard lying to me?
My guess, the stock price was propped up by dodgy foreign donors. And he’s looking less and less like a worthwhile investment.
I don’t think you know what Marxism is.
Well that’s fuckin frightening.
Maybe trump is beginning to think he might not win the presidency so he’s got to grift as much as possible while he can.
The twilight barking, I still hear it sometimes round where I live.
I think that’s exactly what the conservatives will do. Unfortunately I’m not optimistic enough to believe that this will prevent their being reelected. Didn’t stop trump, after all.
Yeah, having experienced discrimination doesn’t make someone immune from discriminating themselves. There are dumbfuck bigoted arseholes all across the spectrum of humanity.
Maybe it means they can’t be bothered to try something different.
If they’re very small and kickable this might be cool.
I’m old enough to remember when Thatcher first became PM and from what I’ve seen Britain’s long term memory is pretty shit.
Yeah, FPTP is a shitty system and needs to be changed. But it’s disconcerting to consider how many hard right Reform MPs we’d have now if we had proportional representation.
Has a modern military ever gone up against an enemy using lots of small cheap drones though? I’m sure they have plans in place, just can’t recall if they’ve ever really been tested, aside from Russia with the results we see.
Yeah, it did this to me a few months back. Got the files back local eventually but it was a big pain in my arse. If I had time to learn another os I’d already be gone. Seems like Microsoft is determined to asset-strip whatever good reputation their product had left.
Yeah. People need protection from big companies and the wealthy, which are constantly seeking to manipulate. It’s a fuckin shame, though, I was one of those people who was really optimistic about the internet when it first started becoming a thing. But money creeps in everywhere and its agenda is never altruistic.
