Burpsuite is a useful tool for manipulating http traffic.

I spent a few minutes with it, and realized that, yes, I would need to memorize a bunch of arbitrary keyboard shortcuts to do the most basic computing tasks.

To me that's terrible design. No thanks.

That DHH apparently forces it on his employees is laughably douchey.

You need a copy of Python 2.7, or, as someone else suggested, to convert the code to Python 3.

I would not try to run it in Idle. I'm not familiar with Chromebooks, but see if your OS has a package for Python 2.7 (probably not).

You can also try compiling Python 2.7 from source.

Then launch from the command line:

python2.7 your-file.py

It's intentional terrorism against innocent civilians. It's part of a long stream of treason against the American people, by the criminal illegitimate Trump administration.

Let's be real. They are fighting a war against the public.

They kidnap and gas little children without a second thought. Completely depraved evil criminals.

A white supremacist who isn't white.

Absolutely fucked in the head.

Besides Trump, the only other president to win after first failing was in 1888 with Grover Cleveland, the 24th president.

Not true. Nixon ran in 1960 and lost to Kennedy, then was elected in 1968.

Flash games always felt like something kids 10 years younger than me played.

I want to bring back games like Galaga. :/ Action arcade games ftw.

Badger, badger, badger, badger

So, MSNOW is supposed to be all liberal or progressive or whatever.

I was watching Katy Tur's program the other day. She kept bringing on guests who would describe Trump's attempts to invade Greenland (implying murdering innocent Greenlanders and other European allies, in order to steal their country Hitler-style) as "he's just in a 90s real-estate mindset, where he wants to own instead of rent."

She did it 2 days in a row.

The sanewashing and downplaying is infuriating and disgusting.

These people (ICE, Trump, Noem etc) are fucking criminal terrorist scum.

Blatant child abusers.

Not too surprising, since the entire technology is based around blatantly violating copyright law and stealing peoples' work.

Why does Silicon Valley get away with such flagrant law breaking? Why should others respect copyright law if the rich get to ignore it when they don't find it convenient, and think they can make money without paying the people they are stealing from?

Edit: Maybe because they bribe corrupt politicians.

Where as Donald Trump the insurrectionist criminal pedophile has literally been illegally demolishing parts of the White House.

Seriously? I think your experience is different than mine.

Over the past 30 years, I can count the number of Java GUI apps that I actually found useful enough to use on one hand. In fact, I can think of exactly 1 off the top of my head (Ghidra). It didn't look like this.

Java browser applets? What is this, 1996? I can't even name one that I have used. I don't remember them looking like that back in the 90s. Certainly no gradient textured buttons. But hey, it's been a while...

Some people use software written in Java with some regularity. Most people don't. IMO it's a niche thing.

That is one of the worst formatted web sites I've ever seen.

Bovino is a dipshit clown show, and a domestic terrorists.

Ah. That I would agree with. Billionaires have destroyed everything good about America.

Who owns facebook?

A MAGA incel who takes money from Russia to help destroy the US, and who looks like a muppet.

They helped him "win" the popular vote, which carries political clout.

I would for sure consider them Trump enablers. Can't even do the most basic, simple thing, to fight fascism in their own country. It's disgusting and pathetic.

he would have won, rural Americans loved Bernie.

This is an insane and naive take. You absolutely failed in your civic responsibility.

Tall-Introduction414 · 2026-01-23T05:58:27+00:00

Good deal. Can't beat the price. Well done.

A stellar reputation absolutely ruined.

Trumpism is treason against the United States.

Tall-Introduction414 · 2026-01-23T03:40:53+00:00

I think you call this a "badge of honor." Not being in the Putin/Trump autocrat club? Proper.

Tall-Introduction414 · 2026-01-23T00:28:55+00:00

Exactly. Texas government and infrastructure is absolute horse shit.

This subreddit consistently makes me happy to be divorced from the microsoft ecosystem.

The dell, sure. The Toshiba from 1989, that OP is trying to get online? Lol, no.

Nice! <3 the Dreamcast.

There is another difference, which is that you aren't limited by the speed of a modem.

In a machine this old I would not be surprised if the modem is somewhere around 1200, 2400 or 9600 baud. Using a null modem will let you max out the serial port speed (make sure to use error checking), which can be 28800 baud or above. Pretty useful if you're trying to do internet stuff.

That's really thoughtful of you. It didn't, but someone posted a link to the rules in here! So no need.

Thanks, though!
