Here's a video compilation of Apple ads from 1981->

The ads I'm talking about begin at about 11:00,

In particular, here's an ad that "proves" GUI is better than CLI for average workers. (joke)

youtu.be/UcBlKg2HerQ?t=3274

and one of my favorites:
youtu.be/UcBlKg2HerQ?t=4450

and the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ads...

@Pat Interesting idea, but I disagree... cli works well for people who bother to spend even 2 seconds reading instructions... GUI is for people who are intellectually lazy :)

@Romaq yea though i find since cheatsheets are just text you copy and paste that learning curve is easily managed

Whether Mastodon has 5K or 5M users doesn’t matter. You only need to follow about 500 of them to get a pretty rich social media experience that doesn’t suck like ad driven social media.

I find it interesting that not only do middle eastern Jews not identify as a "person of color", vast majority identify as white here in Israel. In fact when we brought it up most said they found the term offensive..

Yet for some people whites keep insisting on calling jews from Israel "People of color". I guess its too much to accept a white oppressed minority?

@rdaily I visited the Virgin Islands once.. ever since then it was just called "The Islands"

@SpinozasHeresy Did law enforcement claim that violent protest would be allowed or something? Iusually just assume there is 0 tolerance for violence no?

@sandorspruit yea singularity has a similar problem as it is a profit company that may revoke access to its registries for profit at any time.

Apptainer I have heard of but didnt dig into.

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.
