Scrib: The laptop made in Switzerland

Germany, UK, USA – whichever way you look at it, the computer is a foreign import here. But one of its forebears was a genuine Swiss creation: the portable writing system called Scrib, specially developed for journalism.

@root nodds in agreement I don't get why anyone who knows better would use #Roblox...

  • #Steam is considered #greedy with a 30% cut but #Roblox takes up to 87,5% because their #scrib (aka. #Robux) only get converted at a shaftingly-bad exchange rate...

@juandesant @Njord OFC that's why compamy #scrib was made illegal in the #USA as it prevented #workers from switching employers...

02/09/2024 - Le Musée Bolo ouvre sa quatrième exposition temporaire:
J’♥️ mon SMAKY

Sous ce titre, la nouvelle exposition englobe bien plus que les micro-ordinateurs SMAKY. Elle couvre une période allant de la fin des années 60 à aujourd’hui.

Pleins de surprises vous attendent!

Cette exposition et le site web smaky.ch en expansion se complètent pour vous offrir une approche vivante de l'aventure SMAKY.

I didn’t see this sad news in April, so I’m a couple of months out of date…but she’s one of the people I deeply missed when I left Twitter. Made me sad tonight to learn of her passing. Her voice was clear and her aim was true. #RIP #Scrib

Le site web "SMAKY" fait peau neuve!

Rafraîchi et enrichi, il s’étoffera dans les mois à venir d’informations complémentaires, de nouvelles pages dédiées aux logiciels, jeux ludo-éducatifs et vidéo qui ont marqué l'époque des micro-ordinateurs SMAKY.

🚀 https://smaky.ch/

Excellente découverte!

@larsmb @davidgerard easy: #CryptoBros and #Whales cashibg out aka. #BankRun...

Because #Stablecoins are just #Scrib and #Shitcoins!

That's why noone that matters accepts them, but everyone that does matter accepts #Monero  !

@tante It's because #Tether is not a #currency and it's claims to have any backing as a #Stablecoin are just #marketing #lies.

Basically all they do is sell #scrib and #vouchers

They won't survive a #BankRun because they have nothing in the bank!

And I'm not even shure they are #insured in the sense of an actual #bank [as per #FDIC] or registered as such...

@bicmay *nodds in agreement*

#Healthcare being tied to a specific job is bad and it should be as illegal as #Scrib "#Money" as payment because they literally prevent people from changing employers.

Also it's worse than 1890s Germany because insurance was transferable early on...
