Sitch: You’re just arrived in Hell, and your punishment is listening to one band for all eternity. Who does Satan pick as your eternal, infernal earworm?
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
A close call between him and Coldplay. Hell indeed 😩
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
In reality not much. In theory we could run our own servers and instance of bsky, federate it to the main servers, and then migrate ourselves to it. But everything we did would still replicate over to the main BlueSky so still make AWS money. Pointless. All traffic makes Bezos richer.
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
You both know you can watch it for free, right?
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes BlueSky runs entirely on AWS it would seem.
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Unfortunately not. Almost any website you use these days will use AWS for some or all of its storage, database, compute. Certainly the ones from the bigger players. Maybe even BlueSky. I should probably check that ...
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Amazon Web Services, what much of the "cloud" is built on.
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
No worries, cool project. I could only dream of doing something similar!
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you listening to any other Blondie songs instead? 🤔😂
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Me also, but finding one in the UK for much less than the equivalent of $1000 is proving difficult.
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Apologies I don't know the answer to this, but is it released and is there a link?

Jobs sold bling, shiny things that were underpowered and took many generations to get usably right. Wozniak sold tech. He did amazing things in both hardware and software. Incredible engineer.

I stopped liking Apple when they dropped the II. The Mac was never as good 😉

Ok I know you're joking now, no more replies from me I got important stuff to do.

I wish I still had my IIgs. 5.25" duodisk, 3.5" standard drive, 3.5" superdrive (no superdrive controller, sadly), 300Mb SCSI drive, CD-SC CD-ROM and 100Mb SCSI ZIP drive. Add 8Mb RAM and a ZipGS it was fully tricked out. Sold it for a song when short of money. Still upset at myself...

You need to check before you say things like they are facts. There are thousands of CRT monitors for sale on eBay currently. The government is not cracking down on these - they are not restricted nor banned. Also selling them is no less green than recycling them.
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
No it isn't illegal to sell a CRT monitor. What country (or state if US) do you live in? Can you point me to such legislation?
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
You could have sold them on eBay. As they get harder to find, the prices go up. I guarantee someone will have bought it.
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Again, I've never heard of an Apple Monitor exploding. Which model?
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
I have never heard this, and I've been dealing with Apple computers since 1982. Exactly which model of Apple II are you talking about?
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Ahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
John L (@johnlf.bsky.social) reply parent
Go look at the listings where they sell for hundreds of dollars. They are quite collectible now.

My mum has lived in this country for 53 of her 76 years. She came her from France and has lived, worked and had her family here. She is now a pensioner and doesn’t deserve to feel the kind of future-ruining fear and anxiety Farage is causing. This must be resisted, we all need to step up!

More&more voices appear that Tyler Robinson can’t have been the shooter b/c the blood we all saw exiting Kirk’s body was from the EXIT wound which implies that the ENTRY wound was on the right side of his neck?!?! And then there’s this: 😳 Check the dates‼️ The posts are still live on Twitter😲😲😲

Don’t know about you but I find these guys a lot more disrespectful, frightening & offensive than pensioners holding up signs about famine in Gaza. Yet the government is pandering to the attitudes of these thugs while proscribing people who want peace & an end to violence! What a time to be alive.

I thought it was immigrants that didn’t respect our culture? More proof, if any was needed, that England flag shaggers don’t give a shit about England’s history, heritage, landmarks and culture. What they believe in is white supremacy.
