. And useless, even though I read this huge wall of text, I’m not closer to understanding what this plugin actually does.

That’s how I feel coming across half of github projects or frameworks.

Not to mention that while the oil will be sold at market price, Venezuelans will be at the mercy of asshole-in-chief as he’ll control “when” they get to spend it, and only on 'murican goods

Why so mad bro

And if even that doesn’t work, ALGOL 68

🇧🇷 Your buses have clocks in them?

NES roms were the way to go. You could pack the emulator + a couple of games in a single 1.44MB floppy no problem.

I learned a lot about the Amiga reading Ars Technica’s history of the Amiga series. Such a shame that that computer never reached Brazil

Or you could try KolibriOS or MenuetOS, both have images that allow you to install the OS from a single 1.44MB floppy

Never saw one of those before, that looks super neat

3.5’s hard plastic immediately makes it “feel” better to handle, as it also protects the actual disk inside. Putting in and removing a 3.5 from a computer was also faster than the later disks. If you think about it, CD/DVD’s jewel cases were the equivalent of the floppy’s casing

In a tactile sense, MicroSD are worse in every sense. I have a case to store some of mine, which I have to open gently unless I want half of them to pop out and fall on the floor. A different storage, which I 3D printed, fixes that problem but has another, which is picking up a single one and not 3 at a time, since they’re kept in a line with roughly 2mm of space between them

Agree. Too bad my computers’ built in SD readers never worked, so I have to use a USB stick with SD slot instead

That explains their teeth

You do know that countries only start producing nukes in order to fend off big external threats, right? Big external threats like Russia, China or USA

To be fair, by 1998 something as big as win98 wasn’t supposed to be shipped in floppies. Then again, win95 was available as 27 disks

In regards to tactile feedback, I still prefer diskettes, the larger size makes them easier to grip and pull/push. USB sticks are great for storage nowadays, but pulling one out with one hand can be a small hassle sometimes

Filament printer? I’d print a couple of microSD card holders, USB stick holders, those thingamabobs that help you organize your million loose USB cables, organizing cases for card games or specific boardgames, some hexagonal organizing shelves because they look neat

So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something?

Frankly? Nothing. Nothing happened after Iraq, nothing happened after Afghanistan, nothing will happen after Venezuela.

I end up being quite open, if I’m being honest. There are many things that I don’t expose about myself online, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone could make an accurate, partial profile of what kind of person I am based only on my lemmy posts, plus a close approximation of where I live.

Because the point was to curb population growth AND fuck future generations. Makes one wonder why such policies were viewed favorably by the west at large.
