@drj @nina_kali_nina I don't know how to grade this (is it the SysV/BSD split?), but I'd bet good money on Solaris being less gay, just by being owned by Oracle.

@amoroso @mdhughes In general, the Algol family had some Game of Thrones like drama (and even more incest).

@amoroso @mdhughes Xerox' Mesa would also be an interesting point of view, as it was both an ancestor of Modula and a competitor of what became Ada.

@jmcs @ethanschoonover I recently had a look at "basic" mp3 players, and the usability didn't change much since the days the first iPod was introduced. Something with a good touch wheel (sorry, not you, Tangara) would still beat that.
(And I would think avoiding the streaming services and full fledged friggin' Android would be part of the appeal of such a device anyways.)

@256 Ah, the introduction of slot-loading drives, just when shaped and DRM'd CDs became a big thing ;)

@Edent @82mhz Looks great. Once I find a USB converter to connect my DAC to make up for the loss of proper ports to connect my headphones, I'm all in, too ;)
I feel seen with that sample CD selection. Hello, fellow Xennial online guy.

Huh, first time I heard about the T602 word processor, which kinda looks like a Czech/Slovak WordStar. Anyone from that area have any experience with that?

Eh, I shouldn't have checked whether some RPG author is still a shitbag, I only got confirmaton and learned about some new recent shitbag narratives while doing that…
(For the record, I didn't even know that Christopher Nolan was doing a new Odyssey movie)

@tagir_valeev "Dear Munich emergency services, there's a strong smell of smoke in our open office, and the flames are really messing up the colors of my IDE's dark mode. Is this an actual emergency? Looking forward to hearing from you…"
