@DosFox@tech.lgbt Ah... I should have expected prices to rise. They were all shovelware a few years ago. I think the 9600 and 4670 were good, and the 8800 and 6750 died a lot, but my memory isn't too good on that because I didn't work on iMacs much myself. The GT 120 would be from a 2009 so if you used Leopard 10.5.8 it might work without boot screens.

@DosFox@tech.lgbt Oh, also, keep in mind you're never going to get boot screens on something that didn't come right out of another G5 XServe, because no other Apple product had MXM cards until EFI64 Macs

@DosFox@tech.lgbt They used MXM? The G4 just had a riser card, I think for AGP. You probably want to mind which models of card were the ones that **all** failed, like I think some late four-digit nvidias and early HD Radeons did. Don't want to get a reballed card bc the actual chips are bad. I think there are other cards that flooded the market because they were fine but some other part of the imacs all failed the same way

@monosynth oh my god I didn't see this the first time 😂 I hope dogge's feeling better soon!!!!

I'm gonna call em toots because somebody complained about it so now i think it's funny

So anyway I'm done playing devil's advocate, quote toots are just a thing ya need to have generally, and without the algorithmic driven incentives and discoverability, it shouldn't be nearly as bad as on Twitter

@conte I'm American, I'm still struggling to remember "Keir Starmer" isn't a halfass character name from a canonically distant Star Wars EU novel.

Obscene. They've become the Labour (command) Party https://novaramedia.com/2022/12/15/labour-backs-plan-to-use-army-to-break-nhs-strikes/

I used to like wearing a watch as a kid, now I can't stand it and it seems impossible to get used to again. I hate having anything strapped to me besides a backpack, really. And having to retreat to my desktop running a TV all the time isn't the most convenient… but my eyes are absolutely done with near work for awhile. If you do a lot of close focus for some reason or another -- say, a full time job's worth of time on the phone -- consider limiting now before it really interrupts your life.

If you have an (understandable) predisposition to expect ill of someone wearing a smartwatch, make sure you retain the consideration that they may have a disability or some particular need. Using a phone is destroying my eyes, so I need to switch to using a watch like a pager.

I get it, they're expensive for how useless they are to most people, and represent affluence and luxury in public view, but some people actually need them. My secondhand Apple Series 3 is already too old for cell service

I don't want to serve a huge userbase. I don't want to "lead" a community, much less with directness of a steering wheel. I want to build something together with people who are just as committed to self-management as I am. I suppose I'm fortunate that almost nobody's joined all year, so I can still make that decision.

I think Hellsite is going from public to "request an invite" only.

@researchfairy Oh, but *this* one is FOREVER
