@bavarianbarbarian I don't trust them. Close source or vendor locked OS with blobs and bloatware that goes obsolete in 3 to 5 years without any option to upgrde. My android phone is like 2 years old, and 0 updates for it anymore. It's crapware that spies on you. But mainly, I try to spend the least possible amout of time in the bathroom. 路 2 weeks ago

@bavarianbarbarian then I guess you could relive some of those experiences with QEMU after all. Anyways I'll never have a tablet near the bathroom... 路 3 weeks ago
@ shway it's a pity i don't have'em anymore. but to be honest, I'm outta IT buisness for reasons. i have reduced my hardware to the minimum i need, some laptops, x86 PCs for gaming, tablets while iI'm taking a dump (i live in a quite big house, and yes, i need a tablet on every 3 toilets!!!1), Pi to play around with. was a great time when not every fscking kid with an iphone was online... 路 3 weeks ago

@bavarianbarbarian I guess 27 years isn't "retro" but nostalgic.
Do you miss SPARC systems and the good ol' UNIX? I know what nobody misses: it's price. 路 3 weeks ago
