Trust me, it wasn’t. I did something similar as a kid, but only around $900… just needed to be located barely off zone (like, just a kilometer off) from your Internet provider, and use the Windows 95 dial up that’s a bit eager to add a “1” before the rest of the number… and voilà!

Grounded and cut for three months after the phone bill came in.

“What messages?”

Learning C, that smasher would never have stopped.

“Looks like you’re trying to be productive. Let me correct that for you”

Have you seen the typical Linux zealot lol

And they realized it and fixed their mistake… hopefully…

Oh yes you’re right—forgot about that

Data. User data. Always has been.

FB right now is probably 90% bots and AI. The Fediverse isn’t—for the moment being. I’m sure they found a way to tap into it by keeping a door open while pretending to help aerate the room.

You guys sure display a crazy obsession with “Apple Fanboys” in this sub… The amount of Applephobia… Phew! As if the new release had you all flustered or something…

Either they are idiots, or they are dumb AI bots…

Yep. They don’t understand how hardware and software are interconnected, yet love to call us fanboys and zealots if we don’t bash Apple from the start.

I think it’s hilarious that people will see an iPhone, iPad and Macbook and think the only thing that’s different about them is the software. Any mental restriction is manufactured.

Size actually matters.

Shit.

Frak off, toaster

That’s a joke, right?
