I swear to god, every time I encounter a straggler machine that never upgraded from Win10 to Win11 - it runs faster and more stable than newer and beefier PCs with 11. Insane.

Don't even get me started on making 4GB of RAM perfectly usable just by installing Mint XFCE. Switch to Linux wherever you possibly can.

present day ... present time!

Slestak ftw!

wat?

Is this to say, extremely euphoric?

if keeps running... chips don't lie

I needed to print something in a hotel today, and their computer was on Windows 7. No, I didn't log into anything from it.

Is that Shakira?

Ew, yeah, i also wouldn't trust a computer running windows

What?

Yep.

I wouldn't trust a public computer running Linux either.

I wouldn’t trust a computer.

WTF is this?

An edit.

Maybe Jack from Nightmare before Christmas?

Even when 11 came out, it was a decent bit heavier. I did back to back Geekbench runs on 10 and 11. 10 was a decent bit faster. 11 used a gb more ram too.

I have no idea but thank you for also seeing it because wtf

It gives me creepypasta vibes.

Some of you linux nerds need to try Picotron

Looks like a cat with no eyeballs or ears

Why did you have to remind me of better days.

I wouldn't trust. I'm very lonely

People just don't take this style of photo any more

An outdated OS apparently.

You... don't want to know.

(It is her familiar, within which she stuffed her soul)

I wouldn't.

When I boot up windows 98se I feel like teenage Shakira

I.

Oh, Jimmy? He's friendly once he gets his daily pound of human meat.

Was this from an ad? What's the context here?

try

It costs money.

I tried something ('multiplayer demo', I suspect outdated/barebones export) and it has some neat stuff, the official demo doesn't work though (Picotron Playground is resting.).

...in the computer room.

🎵And you don't seem to understand...

At my first professional programming job workspace was tight so I was given a desk in the server room. This room was kept at 59°F because mainframes that the company didn't even have any more required it. It sucked -- I had to wear fingerless Oliver Twist gloves all day. I blame the cold for my executing a DELETE query without a WHERE clause on the production database. "Why is this taking so long?" I muttered through blue lips.

Me when windows 11

Just a photo from when she started to get famous on a local level, she was just a schoolkid who sang at the time

It only costs money to unlock the developer tools. There are tons of projects you can try for free on the website.

3D graphics are possible, and the developer is adding tweaks in the next update to make n64/ps1-era 3d graphics more of a possibility

I'm imagining the "you wouldn't download a car" meme, but the text is replaced with 0000 so it becomes more general purpose.

Would be funny

Hypothermia is a helluva drug

Wat

I would love to look this cute!

For anyone else who didn't know

// Get Picotron for Windows, Mac & Linux ($19.99)

Picotron is a Fantasy Workstation: a self-contained creative environment built for imaginary hardware. Create and share cute Lua apps that can run on the Picotron desktop, be shared as cartridge files, or exported as stand-alone HTML and binary distributables.

When I boot it up, I feel like teenage me. I think I'll boot it up again today, to feel young again.

dont even try to run!

Someone hack Shakira's Anglefire page?

According to this (the site is in Spanish) the photo was taken back in 1997 by the reporter Óscar Berrocal while Shakira was visiting the facilities of a newspaper called El Heraldo in Barranquilla.

Back then she was 22... She is still 22 but back then she was too.

Inspired by a comment in the "Dai dai" video.

Phylactery

Uh oh, but now that you've used the proper word - easily searchable by automated tools - are all of us involved in this conversation going to suffer mysterious deaths soon?

A girl's gotta have some secrets, ya'know ⁉️
