Looks like the instances that have defederated the most other instances, rather than been defederated by the most.

What about the pin to unlock your phone? And at least here there’s no pin with tap.

And who bring a Playboy mag to their university’s computer lab, and advertises their possession?

Probably a random grad student. They were just coming out of the “sexual revolution” of the 60s at that point. It’d be a lot weirder ten years earlier or ten years later.

That a similar thing did happen ten years earlier is the weird part, I think.

Mine will too, when it’s reasonably warm out, but not below -15 or so. Below -30 it’s even longer, and might not keep it clear, and I need to open windows just so moisture goes somewhere other than the windshield.,

If it’s cold outside it usualky takes at least 10 minutes to be warm enough to keep the windshield clear, so not all of it will be walking.

Sounds like another plus for 5ghz to me.

Damn right! It’s somebody else’s greed! Totally different.

Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit!

What’s that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it!

Turn hard to port! (That’s not port) Now I’ve got it!

Trust me, I’m in control!

At my school there was an office phone outside the office that anyone could use. No need to staff it.

Yup, I’m one of about 6 people who work in my office that used to have around 100 in 2020. They all still work here, just from home. Great for me, especially with the reduced headcount. But many of my coworkers also like WFH, and I’d be first in line to threaten to leave if there was a return to office mandate.

Not without a bunch of lawyers winning.

Fax, like POTS has a legitimate purpose. It’s a lot easier to intercept and/or edit an email in transit than a fax.

I taught my son in my father’s Mustang instead of my (much) newer car. Yes traction control, but no shift indicator, no telling you what gear it thinks you should be in, no holding the brake on a hill, no automatic releasing of the parking brake, no lane keep assist and no backup camea.
