  • 🔗 Pluralistic: You should be using an RSS reader (16 Oct 2024)

    You should be using an RSS reader: The one thing you can choose to do that will make your internet life better and make the internet better for everyone else, too.

  • 🔗 I Miss BSD/Linux

    I miss BSD/Linux. Or was that GNU/Unix, I’m not sure? Silly jokes to get a statistical minority reading this on the edge of their seat aside, I do miss it. It’s still out there, but no longer in here, so what happened? In 2007, work happened, permanently

    A new VHS transfer from original NOS tapes. Hosted by Robert X. Cringely. All rights reserved by PBS Broadcasting and Channel 4.
    A good overview of the rise of personal computing. Mostly things I've soaked in thus far, but I did see (for the first time) actual usage for an Altair.
