Yeah I apparently completely shut the whole 51st state crap out if my brain, that should have been obvious.

As an american… I support your efforts to avoid american products.

And those sorts of morons we are infested with.

Oh, right.

Something so incredibly dumb I pushed it out of my brain apparently.

Sorry, but what’s the 51 thing?

Such a wild time… I started building PCs for people (even my gym teacher), it was so fun - and yeah, such a huge jump every time!

Now I have the same build for nearly 15 years with upgrades along the way, and my servers are all decom’d t/m/m PCs.

Edit: Jump had a typo

Also Slackware!

But I skipped from my 286 to a Pentium 133 (then went a bit backwards to a 486 dx100, then ahead to some cyrix and AMD).

You might want to say “dragged” instead…

it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997

As a Debian user… Its the same in 2024.
