@occult @SecularJeffrey This is the computing future I want!
@catsalad Will I see you at UNIX EXPO this year?
I hear pink computers and floppy disks are debuting!
@occult Oh heck yeah!
@catsalad I know these were super serious UNIX business magazines back in 1985, but today they would literally be the cover of some punk zine.
Mix Mistress Alice@MixMistressAlice @catsalad I'll admit I'm not a zine art historian, but I was more warm than cold I hope with my observation.
Scott Blaydes@occult I saw that same look in Mondo2000.

Nuclear OatmealNo. No... NO! I WAS PROMISED!
I DESTROYED THE OLD MAN'S SOUL AND I WOULD NEVER SEE XENIX AGAIN!!! THE *WORLD* WOULD NEVER SEE XENIX AGAIN!!!
The gods have betrayed me and the only solution now is to destroy the gods. No future innocents shall be subjected to the sheer depravity of Xenix.
Nay, I say.
Aaron Sawdey, Ph.D.@NuclearOatmeal @catsalad @occult How much of that was just that the 286 really sucked vs Xenix adding another layer to a shit sandwich?
Also not to be confused with venix - another crappy port of v7 unix to hardware that really shouldn't run it.
@NuclearOatmeal @catsalad @occult My prejudice was probably that I'd been spoiled by BSD unix by then so v7 seemed pretty primitive.
Agitatra 🚲🐻🌿🇪🇺🇺🇦@catsalad Nobody ever was able to escape Xenix, since no other terminal had the "DÜ2"-key!

Coach Spore Diesel"University of Texas Instruments" would have given it away, but I couldn't read it until I zoomed in a lot.
@springdiesel lmfao as a long-time Emacs user I feel utterly shook that the name was the first bit that seemed implausible to you 🤓
Yeah. I'm definitely not an emacs user, long or short. Probably should have thought Not My Kink and scrolled on.
@springdiesel Not at all! Your reply just hit my funny bone quite hard and made my afternoon 😄

Damn, I wish I could have been transformed back when I first joined Masto in early 2017, that would have saved me a few years u_u
@JoscelynTransient
Instant transform would have been great¹ but even just cracking 4+ years earlier would have been nice (bonus point if it came without the impostor syndrome that made me lose an extra year before HRT 🫠)
1: actually, there would be quite a few issues with that, unless it altered reality to update birth certificate and all the documentation based on it. France loves asking for ID card for everything 🙃
Bernie Luckily Does It@JoscelynTransient @occult @catsalad How long do these rays last, out of idle curiosity and certainly not part of a purchasing decision?
Rabbit@JoscelynTransient @occult @catsalad You know way, way back when how X would warn you that if you didn't get your monitor settings right it might cause permanent damage?
THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. THE LESBIAN RAYS.

gunstick@gunstick @JoscelynTransient @occult @catsalad Wait there’s an X other than X11!? I bet it’s an awesome open source copy-left kind of thing right?

Attached: 2 images @[email protected] Agreed. I've gotten elasticsearch error messages without trying to break stuff. But in a crazy HP-UX coincidence I found this 1985 ad while looking for something else today.
