Watching AMD closely hoping their beef with the HDMI Consortium ends with AMD dropping HDMI from their entire range of products.

@npub1ecp…59pq Or, you know, stay and try to fix it. Letting empty land have more say than populated parts of the country benefits nobody good.

@npub1ehd…udlw I've been howling about that for about 5 years now... offline resilience in both directions is basic enough of a feature every email app has it.

@npub16dc…snfs And even if you want to go "off by default" with Threads as an admin, you can still let users individually decide if they want to touch Threads or not by silencing Threads.
That said, it would be nice if there was a way for users to see why an account or instance is silenced, as a CW. #MastoDev @npub18qs…0s8s

@npub16dc…snfs Yeah, I don't get the "let's shut out everyone who might leave corporate SNS once exposed to someone better." Meta's giving them a curb cut for some reason; why build another curb?

@npub1yck…ujmw This far past the half life of Hans arrest, I'm guessing it's far less radioactive as irrelevant.

@npub1yck…ujmw This seems to conveniently ignore that Edward had no access to accounts and effectively no say at NameSys, to such a high degree that NameSys offices never reopened after Hans arrest.

@npub1yck…ujmw LOL, no dude, cancel culture had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Hans Reiser *was* NameSys. Without him, there was no company. Without the company, there was nobody working on ReiserFS.

Well, that was certainly a brash byline that lacks context. ReiserFS was second only to ext3 when Reiser went off the deep end 20 years ago. ext4 almost didn't happen and certainly delayed ext3's maintenance and further development, because of ReiserFS's growing popularity at the time.

C'mon people, if you don't tip, you're as big of an asshole as the restaurant manager that's making the waitstaff beg to start with. #furry #tulsa

@npub1683…f0qg If you're open to requests, please do battery electric buses versus trolleybuses, since I think we made the same mistake with trolleybuses that we did with streetcars.

@npub1utv…87lr @npub1jjq…ksgt Certainly retrocomputing on dead-end ideas...nobody else bases anything off CP/M or VMS but...well, Microsoft still does.

Look, #Google, if #CyanogenMod or whatever it's called this week can do it, so can you.
It's time we used the #government to force basic support.

@npub1463…00qn I'm also sure everyone reading that wasn't expecting the last two words.

@npub1463…00qn Figured as much. Bethesda wouldn't know fan service if it was grabbed by the hips with both paws and given a full motion cutscene.

@npub1463…00qn Neat, hopefully they'll do what Id would have done and also put out a Linux version. Bonus if the multiplayer is compatible with the original!
