Whelp…boo-urns. :(

OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?

40 years old. Haven’t been satisfied with a phone-slam since before my first cordless phone in 2001.

Honestly the only thing HP has ever made that I haven’t been horribly, horribly disappointed with is their monitors. Just through circumstance of ‘whatever-the-fuck-was-cheapest-but-not-total-ass-when-I-went-to-buy-them’ I’ve ended up with 4 different HP monitors over the years, including a 20ish year old 4:3 one which still goes strong to this day.

Every other product was pure unadulterated ass.

What a horrible day to have not lost my eyes to childhood diabetes.

Bingo!

In fairness, they would have been absolutely stupid to have not done a 100% prewritten, teleprompted PR riddled pre-written response given the situation. Linus sitting down in front of a camera and just letting his mind do Linus things isn’t gonna help anyone lol.

Spirit Halloween just opened in my town on the 1st. I need to go to groceries and I am going way out of my way to drop by first. I am why it be like it is lmao.

Indeed!

o7 Fuck Spez Coalition.

Definitely!

I just keep a regular rotation going year round lol. Up in a few moments is Event Horizon (for the 2947th time).

Kbin let’s you see it all, on a thread-by-thread/comment-by-comment basis. For example I’ll (for a moment) downvote your comment. If I check it’s activity, this is what I see. https://imgur.com/a/uTgEuUt

Favourites is upvotes, reduces are downvotes, boosts are the twitter/mastodon ‘retweet’ equivalent. Doesn’t matter what instance the comment is on, kbin, lemmy, we can see them for posts and comments. Solely on the thread. I can’t go to your profile and see a history of what and who you downvote, but if you downvoted/upvoted me right now for example, I can 100% tell who you are and which you did.

Some days I view the Internet as one of the most important technological advances ever made in the history of mankind.

Other days the worst fucking mistake we coulda made next to Furby’s.

Fuck.

Also fuckin’ random real talk: I know a lot of people prefer the theatrical cut of Mallrats, Smith included, but I 100% prefer the original cut with the Governor’s Ball/Musket intro. Always found it much funnier and anytime I watch the theatrical cut I just miss the ‘missing’ scenes.

I gave up on Netflix so many years ago now with zero regrets. The second they started their rumblings (nearly a decade ago now) about wanting to stop people from accessing other countries media selection I said fuck it, spun up a Plex install and never looked back.

I used the hell out of mine back when I had it, loved this thing.

Ah, I see you’ve taken part in Bullshit Corporate Meetings™ before!

Gave up on Netflix a good 10 years ago when they first started quiet rumours about stopping people from accessing other countries catalogues. Immediately spun up an install of Plex and today am sitting on 30+TB of everything-I-ever-wanna-have and won’t be going back. Only access to any paid streaming service I have is D+ via a friends account, and I’ve used it 4x in 2 years lol.
