You better find a way to make it easy, soldier, or I’m gonna start pushing buttons!

you can still use OpenRC instead if you want, and sxmo will continue to do so by default.

you can read here about why they added systemd.

The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of Humanity.

The w700ds/w701ds (“Dual Screen”)

… was not Lenovo’s last try at putting two screens on a laptop; see also the X1 Fold and Yoga 9i

I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century

I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.

Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that’s more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!

Teknolust (2002)

Do not read wikipedia’s synopsis of it first unless you want to spoil it. you can find it here on archive.org.

it’s not a particularly long post; if you’re really confident in the veracity of the narrative you’re familiar with then you shouldn’t need to be afraid to read something that contradicts it.

(and btw, neither of the two posts i linked claims nothing happened there.)

this is a good meme

The primary purpose of those buttons is of course to let those sites track everyone’s browsing activity across every site that uses them, which does not require that anyone ever click on them.

Even if less than 0.0001% of people click them, anyone with an SEO/spammer “grindset” will assure site operators that the potential benefit of someone sharing a link they otherwise wouldn’t have is still at least theoretically non-zero. And, since there is absolutely no cost at all besides an acceptable number of extra milliseconds per pageload, really, it would be downright irresponsible not to have them there!

By “solar power in operation” (in GW) i think they mean maximum output capacity rather than actual production, since these numbers add up to 923 GW while wikipedia says in 2024 there was 2.13 petawatt-hours (243 GW on average) actually produced by solar.

encryption would prevent the modem from seeing it when someone sends it, but such a short string will inevitably appear once in a while in ciphertext too. so, it would actually make it disconnect at random times instead :)

(edit: actually at seven bytes i guess it would only occur once in every 72PB on average…)

As more data becomes available

Then we can start doing more with it

And as we do more with it

That that creates more data
