…sarcasm: quotes always imply sarcasm…

…that’s the POWER model: the unit posted above is the consumer version with the SX chip, no math coprocessor and fewer built-in function keys…

“Hold you your hand, Frodo. It’s quite cool.”

…hillbilly goth = sixteen horsepower…

…or, you know, old gods of appalachia…

…i get why it’s funny (the donner party infamously resorted to cannibalism) but i don’t get how it’s ironic…

…our orange kitty does the same, but he’s the smartest cat we’ve ever known: perfectly adept at opening doors on his own, so we must keep them all deadbolted lest we find wild critters brought into the house, which has happened on several occasions…

(he’s also pretty good at operating our ipads and desktop computers; he’s sent gibberish text-messages more than once and i worry that someday he’ll buy something online!)

…king’s island was pretty cool fourty years ago: the bat, the beast, the racer, the beastie, that little eiffel tower, i even won a couple of stuffed animals…

…NeXTstep was built on mach and, although i’m unsure if any antecedents remain in macOS, it was certainly production-ready in its day; i remember a couple of decades ago there were stopgap versions of the HURD built on top of mach instead of their own microkernel but i thought that was only ever intended as a temporary workaround…

…i presume on that basis that sustained developer interest was its greatest hurdle, no pun intended…

edit: …is this the post-mortem you mentioned?..

…i’m absolutely ignorant of its current state, but every time i’ve checked in on progress of GNU/hurd over the past three decades, it still hasn’t matured into a stable production-ready platform: i’m not sure if that’s an artifact of technical viability or developer interest…

…cleanest (and cheapest) solution is a passive HDMI-to-DVI cable: the video signals are identical, so it’s a trivial conversion…

…i’ve used this connection (from several different cable manufacturers) on many rigs…

…gen Z have rekindled my hopes for a future which were snuffed by the millenial interregnum…

…in the `states, police can shoot you for any or no reason: we call it at-will liberty…

…subverting human civilisation to employ post-singularity femtotechnology in the conversion of all matter throughout observable universe into paperclips…
