Took a while, but I found "me". Slackware 3.1 was 3 or 4 boxes of floppies if I remember correctly. A full box, or more maybe, for X!

And, F-Droid shows apps that were installed from the Play Store.

For me it's not about the size, it's about the understanding. I'd really like to understand what everything on my system does and why it's there. It seems impossible with modern systems. Back in the '90s I needed a secure email relay - it had lilo, kernel, init, getty, bash, vi, a few shell utils (before busybox..), syslogd and sendmail. I'm not sure any more as it was a long time ago, but I think I even statically linked everything so there was no libc. I liked that system.

Oh, I know how they work - we have an ET-8550. I just didn't realise generic ink could be so cheap. My wife sells prints of her photographs and artwork so is a bit "cautious" about her ink and only uses genuine Epson at $25 per 70ml. I just looked on Amazon and found that generic ink can be had for around $6-7 per 70ml ($40 for a 6-pack) - wow!

What ink are you getting for $12?? Even allowing for quite a bit of poetic licence, this seems ridiculously cheap.

It blows my mind that they need to do this with physical phones. I would have thought they could virtualise/emulate everything needed.

And I spent most of my life so far in Australia so I default to needing an airline to go anywhere.

That made me laugh for real. Mainly because it bought back memories - I'm pretty sure I first heard it from my dad - about 50 years ago.

What's going to stop you from taking over?

Sane, rational people don't want to take over anything. We just want to vote for reasonable governments, let said government get on with governing and get on with our lives. We don't want to be bombarded with all this political bullshit everywhere we turn - MAGA stickers and Fuck Biden stickers, you can't open any comment thread on any public social media post without some idiot blaming Biden for the most ridiculous things.

Since the growth of the internet and social media these right wing nazi fucktards have figured out they can weaponise their followers to take over anything at any level and with your attitude to this site that's exactly what I predict will happen there.

I don't think they'll be able to leave - no airline is going to board them with fake docs.

Wow - I'd forgotten about Flickr

Food looks good!

You clearly didn't use it for long enough - I was "stuck" with it for over 20 years. I wouldn't say I liked it, but it was so familiar I couldn't dislike it.
