Ah man, that's a video I haven't thought of in ages! I think I first saw it when an old friend linked me to professional Funny Thing Unfunny-er, RayWilliamJohnson reacting to it.

Good friends, good music, good vibes, and good weed.

The Xerox Alto was 1973 and had a color GUI interface more than a decade before Apple or Microsoft had for their OSs.

Also it cost $32,000 in 1973 and was both computer, monitor, and desk all in one.

I'm the same way, actually.

what are some studies/data definitively showing abortion bans/restrictions are ineffective policy for reducing the rate fetuses are aborted? in c/[email protected]

I know I've seen that coined as an online law in the vein as Murphys Law, with a name attached to it, but A) I don't remember it and made a name up for the bit, and 2: That was prolly made up as well which only compounds the joke.

Ahh, Morrigan's Law. Fastest way to get answers online is to make a false claim. People will correct you swiftly.

Unrelated, but genuine curiosity - Why the usage of the ~~thorn~~ eth rather than spelling the word "the" out? Ain't bothered by it or nothin', just interesting to see out in the wild online!

What was "the incident" at your work place? (lemmy.world)
 

Inspired by the very similar thread about school incidents.

Good laptop to use as Owncast server? (lemmy.world)
 

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!

After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of? (lemmy.world)
 

One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
