Had something that was an Apple II or IBM clone…ran floppy floppies.

I couldn’t even save my documents, as I had no spare floppies and my parents didn’t understand we need blank ones as media lol.

Yet they were able to record TV to blank VHS’s…

But I learned BASIC on it. And played Garfield and Spiderman and Oregon Trail a lot.

Our second one was a Compaq, with a Pentium III, onboard motherboard GFX. 56k that never went beyond 4100 on the best of days, 1200 when raining. It fried eventually after a botched RAM upgrade by my brother.

It did run Merchwarrior III, FFXI and Tribes 2 swell when we got it a PCI graphics card before the botched RAM incident.

Off topic:

My brother coached me in PC building in ~02. Most recently built a 5950X3D system. Thanks Microcenter. And R.I.P. my brother.

It is indeed.

Just saw Jorge mentioned DistroShelf as being new, on Mastodon, so I was sharing here.

I don’t technically consider container images as virtual machines proper…but what do I know.

Hey checkout DistroShelf.

And APPIMGs aren’t so bad. Brew is nifty as well.

Already in Graphene OS BTW.

But also to subscribe to Gemini+++++/monthly.

Fixed.

Borderline, despite two as a child.

86' baby, can confirm.

⚠️Except double-checking my childhood record’s, I did have my full 2-shot-series. 😱

I got my third booster The First Go-Round.

Upon getting my titer results, I asked what the deal was. Seems my timeframe didn’t get "The good stuff"?

Same. But I merely burnt-out+got Fibromyalgia at 32.

I should have worked more harder. /s

Noone dies wishing they worked more.

Me personally:

Un-alive over 9000 fascist’s.

Not on my GrapeneOS Pixel 9.

Comrades, it is:

I have nothing I want you to see.

NOT

I have nothing to hide.

Mint Mobile because paying up front for ~$180/year= 365 days of Talk/SMS/5Gb-5G/$15-month.

Been with em since it launched. And back then it was only 2Gb-4G/$15-month.

I believe new users can get any plan for the same intro price for various plans for the first 3 months.

Also has “Unlimited” 40Gb and “Unnecessary” 60Gb for extreme data peoples.

me never using more than 2Gb

Unlimited plan incl. 40GB high-speed data w/10GB hotspot. Unnecessary plan incl. 60GB high-speed data w/20GB

You can hotspot all your data on other plans if you wish.

If you use all your allotment, you can still read emails and google maps with throttled speeds, browsing is painful.

The bigger 2 get capped at 10 and 20 of hotspot use to keep people from using them as a primary Home ISP.

You can upgrade a plan at any time, but can’t downgrade.

Tubular is really spiffy to force 480p/720p for videos.

People burning data on 1080p/1440p…why!!!

I personally download playlists/music I want for offline use with Tidal and use Organic Maps so that solved my main data use issues right there. (Also refreshing to not be tracked by Google in 2025) and also works no issue, on Sandboxed Android Auto on GrapheneOS 🤔😂🤘

Vanadium being a GrapheneOS user.

I mean… I upgrade every ~2/3 years.

But only during sales and only with boosted trade ins.

This year I got two 9s for ~$150 with boosted trade ins for my 7pro/8pro and holiday sale.

There’s even a

And technically Graphene has extended legacy support for:

4a,4,4XL,5a&5

Cheaper than worrying about battery replacement for old crusty pixles >.>

Fixt

+1 for GrapheneOS

I also love the auto-bluetooth off after X~time option.

Google Store has offers till 12.28 I got two 9s for ~$150 after trading in my 7pro and 8pro.

Or at least the majority stake he’s figured to have been ~20-25% holder of Mint…he’s still on this year’s Xmas card technically mailed from him too.

Under the terms of the deal, Reynolds will continue to work in his creative role for Mint.

I’ve been with Mint Mobile USA for 7 years now.

Same $15/month, for a Prepaid 12 months plan for ~$180/year

Used to be 2GB of 4G now it’s 5GB of 5G.

Technically unlimited throttled slow data, good enough for maps/email after.

If anyone uses my link it should be +$15 referral credit bonus.

Can upgrade at anytime in a cycle, but can’t downgrade, or also extra data buckets available.

End shilling

Also Ryan mails me an Xmas card every year ❤️.

They sent me a silly email today actually but hey…whatevs.

If OP has $ to spend on 🥥 oil they have $ to spend ~$12/month on state dental insurance… Unless your state really sucks.

Massachusetts open enrollment through Jan. 23 as an example…

Otherwise get outta here and go back to reddit/Facebook OP.
