Haitians put the Spring in Springfield tbh

Some sweet older ladies used to work for the NSA like my grandma, and she only had me get rid of her Linux mint partition because she wasn’t using it much

My computer science teachers were all over 70 and *nix users, that’s the generation that created a lot of computer stuff we use to this day.

Nope, Reddit was very different back then. Lemmy feels no different than Reddit does now.

You could like make a simple accumulator machine out of logic gates and enter binary instructions expressed in hexadecimal into its register to program it, yeah, but it’s not capable of all the operations of a computer. But yes the first programming was just op codes, switches flipped or punch cards, there was no assembly language. But assembly language is pretty much just mnemonics for operations and registers. Like I had to write a couple C programs in school and use GNU C compiler to disassemble them into x86 assembly and see what it was doing on that level, then we “wrote” some x86 assembly by copypasting a lot of instructions but its not that hard to make something that works in like x86 assembly or like Jasmin (Java virtual machine assembly language) if it’s simple enough.

Those names were always parodying the names of actual corporations. I’m pretty sure Weyland Yutani is basically supposed to be like Lockheed Mitsubishi

Jerboa is buggy I’m using Thunder

I know that on some shoots like In The Cut they sometimes ran out of herbal smokes and people had to smoke real cigs and hated it

Post Malone has the precious

Lol at anyone up voting this BS, if you believe this you’re a sheep who doesn’t understand how the reward mechanisms of human brains work

You’re right not to trust this BS at all. It’s straight up reefer madness propaganda. It’s widely acknowledged that anything pleasurable can be addictive, that doesn’t mean we need to ban gambling or alcohol or weed.

Never really thought of Anacortes as a good food town, more like a place to stop on the way to the islands, but I bet this is pretty good.

Good on you M8 glad it works well.

This is basically it, we just need better hardware in android tablets and maybe more optimization, Google is trying with tensor but it is a ways off.

Agreed about the software. I wish we had a base Android tablet with the same hardware as the iPad Pro.

True, that was poor word choice. I guess it would just be “operability?” Or “integration?”

Sheer processing power, stylus compatibility, and interoperability with computers of the same brand, which Samsung does too. I want an Android tablet that has as good a stylus and CPU speeds, then I would be right on it, because Android is a superior mobile OS in many ways. I loved my Nexus 7 and my ASUS Transformer but they just weren’t there yet.

No android tablet since then you mean. I loved that thing. I still use Pixel phones but I caved and bought an iPad. Even the Pixel tablet can’t compare.

I had the same journey but I’m pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol
