What if that was a underpaid actor playing a character called, "Steve Balmer" who never really existed and another underpaid actor played a charecter called "Bill Gates" that never really existed

And all the fortune 500 CEOs are played by actors as well as all the Presidents of the United States at least as far back as the actor Ronald Reagan with JFK possibly never dying but only having a special effects fake death

I'd say you're probably right.

@olmitch
I miss using DOS to do stuff.
@shortstories @Hoss

Geoworks is open source now, better time than ever to fuck with DOS

@Awoo @olmitch @shortstories @Hoss I miss an unbloated OS.

I almost said Haiku but it has Wayland and shit now hahaha

Oh let's not forget Geoworks https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-pcgeos-found-a-5th-life-as-an-open-source-dos-shell/

Oh man, the Mega 65 has a Geos port already I want one now https://github.com/bluewaysw/geos

If you get chromebook it is missing a lot of programs and features that windows and apple products have so it runs a lot faster but it still has a real keyboard with actual keys unlike a smart phone but the keyboard and mouse are not as good and it has no cd or dvd player

You can keep your old microsoft or apple computer to watch DVD movies

@shortstories
I wish I didn't have a retard chromebook so I could put a new OS on it. Apparently this model needs a lot of fuckery to get GalliumOS working.
@olmitch @Eiswald @Hoss

I had a really nice Chromebook with a touch screen and I had Gallium running great and I just had to fuck with it. Tried to get full UEFI, bricked it

@shortstories @olmitch @Awoo @Hoss Now you guys have gotten me thinking about a fully functional replacements/alternatives to windows without the extreme over bloat that came post the 7/XP/8 era.

I haven't updated my hardware in over a decade expect to add an SSD. Not particularly fond of this streetshitter bloatware monstrosity using 1-2 3rds of my fucking RAM and CPU just to function.

Note that I'm basically software illiterate, I'm a more tactile techie, love me hardware, know about as much as I need to make it all work and keep it at optimal performance.

Updated to 10 just to be able to play Elden Ring. Fun game but I regret everything.

I got you fam https://experience.noncities.com/ This is built on Windows 10

@Eiswald @Awoo @Hoss @olmitch

The reason I like chromebook is less features means less feature updates and less software bloat than microsoft windows but I do not know if that will be true for future editions

I am not familiar with apple products or linux

So you do not need much software knowledge to learn it

Lots of instructions online

Biggest problem is the mouse does not allow easy right clicking

Keyboard is missing keys like caps lock and I do not like the keyboard as much

Technically if you have a DOS machine with a sound card (and basic meditation skills) you could get high with this https://sourceforge.net/projects/sbagen/files/sbagen-dos/1.0.6/

This goober was born to sell used cars, but somehow he accidentally became one of the richest men in the world.

Paul Allen RIP

Paul Allen was the guy cranking all the code. Bill was allegedly a better programmer than he was, but he left behind the keyboard when he figured out that being a ruthless corporate psychopath was his true calling.

of course the nicest guy out of that trio is dead. He bought pretty much all of the Star Trek motion picture Enterprise models (A, B, D, E, F) and a bunch of other shit like Data's head from that creepy time travel episode and put it in a museum in Seattle.

At least now we know Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a disease there really isn't any viable cure for. If Paul Allen couldn't save himself from it, nobody can.
