my condolences

it only got big in the rest of the world after we’d been tortured to death by it here since 1997 so i don’t know if i really see it that way. i mean, it is 29 years old at this point. i’ve not been able to escape the little fucker for over three fourths of my life.

yyyyyyyyyyeah. early internet shit.

i feel compelled to apologise on behalf of the country of sweden for the existence of crazy frog

i… it’s a thought experiment. reasoning within the world of the comic requires some things to be taken as universal constants. here, those are “these people are trying to see over an obstacle”. while i agree the apple tree example is better, this illustrates the idea well enough within the context given by the comic. saying “the premise is flawed because of x” does not change the fact that the premise is right there.

now you’re working outside the assumptions of the existing scenario.

yeah but it’s a different one every release, whatever makes the smallest image.

that’s sort of the point though. if everyone is treated equally instead of according to their specific needs, some people will be underserved.

oh does yocto count? it’s more of a compiler that produces a linux, though.

puppy linux! an entire live graphical desktop system with browser and office suite compressed to fit in 300MB, so you can run it from RAM and use the USB for storage.

holy mackerel!

it’s less than 60 years since consensus was that italians are non-white.

oh come on.

because i’ve been on the internet. people will choose the easiest route, which is “copy image”.

if you’re assuming everyone will post the source (why?), it would be easier for you to leave the image untouched. why do you even do it?

what do you mean “why?” isn’t it obvious that taking the author’s name off of the work is a shitty thing to do? you’re modifying their thing and making it easier to repost without giving credit.

ironic, i’m waiting for the local dc to be built so it lowers my energy bills by 20%. huge resistive heaters powered by hydro, plugged directly into our district heating, all paid for by companies in another country? yes please.

well the ice is like 35 years old i think

i mean the dlc easily quadruples the length of the game, soooooo

it’s also because the smaller a transistor is, the more sensitive it is to cosmic rays. and there are a lot more cosmic rays in space than on earth. you can “rad-harden” them, but there are physical limits. as a result the most popular cpu architecture in space is the RAD750, based on the PowerPC 750 from 1997. the perseverance rover and the james webb space telescope are basically underclocked gamecubes, or those candy-colored imacs. like, perserverance runs at 133MHz and has 128MB of RAM.

specifically i think it’s the speedometers that run windows for workgroups. it might be one of those controlled systems you can’t switch out without recertifying everything.
