Dammit! Why did I mistype that?

Obviously it should be RHPS. Sigh.

If you ever decide you want to see it please for the love of Tim Curry don’t watch it on TV.

The only way to experience the RHPS is at a theater, movie or stage, with a floor show. Without the floor show you will not get what makes RHPS an adored Cult Classic. Seriously, the floor show is what makes (or breaks) the experience.

If you walk into the show and you’re not surrounded by people in costumes spouting weird lines, or if you don’t see them in the aisles within the first 90 seconds of the show starting then you may as well get up and leave.

Edit: Fixed my typo’s as pointed out by @shiny_idea@aussie.zone

Of all the “Feature Phones” I ever had, and I had a bunch, the Alias and it’s successor the Alias II were my easily my favorites.

I miss my Samsung Alias and Alias 2. They were good times.

Working system until you need to upgrade something.

Why are you attempting to upgrade slack? You install, configure to purpose and leave it be. When it’s purpose changes you re-install and re-configure! Nothing could be simpler!

I think I blew up my first Slack install in about 12 minutes while trying to get a video camera to work as a webcam. It took me 3 god damned days and more than a few re-installs but I did get it going…and then spent 30 minutes web chatting with a guy from Serbia. The video was the size of a postage stamp.

Well, yes. That is how it works!

As someone who started with slack in '97 these modern distros function so “automagically” that I sometimes distrust them. They’ve hidden so much of the complexity of Linux and whatever Desktop Environment is running on it that most users have very little idea what’s actually happening or how it works.

That’s been GREAT for getting more people to use Linux but it’s creating the same problem that Microsoft did with Windows. The old DOS users often knew quite a lot about their PC and how it worked because they had to but as the technical barriers went down so too did the knowledge of the users. You no longer had to juggle IRQs, Memory Maps, or DLLs because Windows just did it for you.

That’s not a bash (lol) on Linux or users of modern distros either, I myself am on Linux Mint as I type this, because it was always going to work out like this. A lot of very smart people put a lot of their time into MAKING it work out like this.

it was the 80s/90s, windows didn’t exist

Wow, that’s a pretty narrow gap. The 80386 started mass production in 1986 and Windows 3.0 (the first actually usable one) came out in 1990.

I refused to use Windows until Win95 and even then I was experimenting with OS/2. In 1997 I installed Slack 3.4 and have been around every since. I’m currently running Linux Mint but I sorta miss SuSe and may go back to it.

When I opened the page in FireFox I was prompted to manage cookies. I clicked on that and then clicked the “site vendor” tab.

I’d like to read the article but holy hell there’s over 700 companies in their tracking cookie policy!

Luckily there’s an archive of it: https://archive.ph/Yrcda

Welcome to the Club!

Something tells me that here in the United States of Greed, such a thing is ‘un-possible’, legally speaking.

It’s not only possible it happens reasonably often. So often in fact that the “poison pill” idiom was created by companies who were doing just that.

Here’s a Harvard Law paper on it.

Huh, I haven’t installed SUSE in at least 10 years and seeing the Gecko is giving me a bit of nostalgia. I may have to run an install and see what’s changed.

Sure but in the article he says that he hadn’t even heard of it until some friends mentioned it “last month”, which would have been March of 2024. Taking a few weeks to feel it out is one thing but to have not even know it existed until last month is wild.

How is it that Cory Doctorow hadn’t hear of Kagi until March of 2024? It’s been widely discussed in tech spaces for quite a while now!

What happened to Hanlon’s Razor?

Rossman happened. He has videos that need watched.

Reolink.

I had a Z Flip 3 and didn’t notice the crease while I was using it. The bigger problem, and the reason I don’t have one anymore, is because the damn screen broke (delaminated) 6 months in and Samsung wouldn’t fix it.

They aren’t the best we’re able to come up with; regardless of your political camp there’s probably tens of thousands, if not millions, of better candidates in our population of 300,000,000. Biden and DJT aren’t even the “best candidates” inside their own parties!

All Biden and DJT represent is what the DNC and GOP want to have in the race and that’s all.

I’ve been interested in a service like this for a while but didn’t want to sign up with an unknown entity like Incogni. I at least somewhat trust Mozilla so I’ll probably end up giving this a whirl.
