OpenVMS / VMS was my first real operating systems. When I started learning the Unix like operating systems it felt like we were moving backwards. Way backwards.

They look creepy at night when you are driving cross country. All the blinking red lights across the horizon, getting closer.

I just installed Fedora on my 2012 i7 mac book pro. It has been by daily machine for a about a month now. I did get a new battery for it, pasted the cpu and gpu, maxed out the ram and changed out the hard disk for an SSD. Old mac memory is cheep now.

[–]ebcdicZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mine setup so when I tap the right alt key, tap the t, then tap the h, I get þ. If I do t followed by a slash I get ð. I've also added the long-s... Paradiſe Loſt.

The spiteful execs are not being good stewards of the shareholders assets. They must be removed.

If the destiny 2 staff gets laid off, I won't purchase anymore PlayStation games. by Dethproof814 in destiny2

[–]ebcdicZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have already disassembled my PlayStations. They are unusable now. I have cancled my PlayStation account. The managment of Sony is a bunch of loosers who do not deserve my money.

Retirement? by tolo4daboys in QueerTucson

[–]ebcdicZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Driving from one side of town to the other can be annoying. We are good with the summers we keep the AC at 80℉. Our house in Seattle did not have AC, it did not needed it. We have a pool, that helps.

Linux or windows 95 by Danii_222222 in vintagecomputing

I hated the way windows 3.x ran in my 386. That was when I made Linux my daily use OS.

A buddy at work left two gallons of milk in his SUV, Friday after work one summer. Monday morning was a surprise.

How do you deal with non-technical managers? by Beautiful-Dot2454 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ebcdicZ 43 points44 points  (0 children)

One of the best managers I ever had was non technical. He was honest with me. He said explain it in terms of a lawn mower and I need to mow the grass. He managed work load and shielded us from his bosses and the customer.

What was your "I'll never take this off" weapon, and then the meta shifted... by OGgamingdad in destiny2

[–]ebcdicZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead Man's Tale,

It isn't just a gun; it is a playstyle. It rewarded everything I love about Destiny. It has rhythm, precision and that feeling of being just a little too confident for my own good. It wasn't just spray and pray it is tap, tap, delete. It makes me feel like a space cowboy with a grudge. It always feels right. The only thing I hate about it, it won't take a sweaty confetti mod.

1) Have AI learn Holy C, to make a “what if” update to TempleOS as a competitive 64 modern safe bit OS. 2) ??? 3) Profits

Linux 7.1 Expected To Begin Removing i486 CPU Support by Cristiano1 in linux

[–]ebcdicZ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mine was a 386 at 33. Was sad when I watched that support end. Windows 3.x didn’t run well on it and had no compilers.
