Hey folks,

If you have some spare Liberapay cash laying around would you please consider sending it to Sophie Lagace?

She outlines the reasons in her blog post here:

Suffice to say they're going to though a rough patch and could use the financial support.

Thanks!

This post is a reminder that it's OK to take a break from this.

Just maximize this post and sit with it for a few seconds.

You're OK. I believe in you.

I hope Disney gets so large that it creates an economic black hole and sucks into itself, taking it's entire board with it.

And then everything returns to the public domain just as it should be.

And perhaps unicorns will float gracefully from my ass.

Is there an instance of Mastodon to it's friendly to conversations about #crypto and #cryptocurrencies? Please let me know so I can point someone to that instance.

Thanks!

I'd really like to know why my Ubuntu machine will randomly lock up whenever I put in an audio CD.

I think part of the reason I get that feeling was because these things were so expensive. But they contained so much power.

But then again I would still get that feeling looking at a GCC manual.

I'm probably weird.

Unrelated: I still get an unreasonable bit of joy whenever I see a picture of the manuals for Turbo Pascal and Turbo C.

(Which you can read online if you're so inclined: https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_borlandturReferenceGuide1988_19310204)

I remember going to the Wayne State Book Store to pick up a copy of Borland C++ 4.0 for $99 (which normally retailed for $499).

I can now buy any range of single board computers and run gcc for $5-$35 dollars, all told.

That is mind-boggling to me.

Remember when you had to go to a store to plunk down some serious cash to get something like a C compiler and an editor?

I wondered if that was still true so I checked Microcenter's site. The closest approximation was some web design software.
