I bought this kit in 7th grade. was like 250$. Getting that thing installed was terrible. You had to enter like 20 commands without seeing anything because it didn’t support a tv by default. Needed something called sync on green rgb monitor if I remember correctly. Which was to expensive for my 12 year old self.
It turned out like 15 years later someone found out there was a command you could enter on the keyboard to make it work right away. I believe I heard that.
I compiled a nes emulator and played through final fantasy 1 on it with a ps2 controller. Which was fun.
Other than that I remember installed a winamp clone, listening to mp3’s. Playing a few music videos I downloaded. early 2000 stuff so like linken park.
I watched dragonball z in japanese with something that supported realplayer videos.
It only had like 32 MB of ram so using it was pretty painful but it taught me the basics of linux at a early age which came in handy later in life.
If this was/is such a problem, big instances like mstdn.social and mastodon.social would do something.
He sorta addressed that by saying that gab started out as the largest instance so they would have scaling problems mastodon.social didn’t have.
The Fediverse itself is made up of small instances.
And that might be the design of it I guess. maybe it just works better with many small instances than huge facebook size instances
Because let’s be honest, FOSS ideals are communist
GNU software maybe. Richard Stallman definitely a leftest. His rhetoric sounds very much like Marxist speech.
It’s just hard to make that argument in my mind when all these big companies that suck up the wealth of the entire world are built off FOSS software.
YouTube for example is just using FFMpeg in the background.
Squats and pull ups have helped mine a lot.
