There are XXXIX pictures in part LXVII of "Funny Programming Pictures".
IX out of X people reading that sentence just googled "Roman Numeral Converter".
For those of you who have joined me recently, in grousing and complaining about ongoing changes to Locals and it's integration into Rumble, this screenshot should help to explain to you what has been going on:

Move over David Mayer, Lunduke joins the list of names which OpenAl will not display. Here's how this was accomplished.
Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.
It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.
Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

From the Computer History Museum
Originally recorded on VHS, September 2, 1988 (about 7 months after I got my first job in tech). Academics grill Gene Hill and Pat Gelsinger about the definition, design, and implementation of the microprocessor in the context of their experience with the 80286.
PS: FOUR YEARS to get from SPEC to production samples.
My three hour tour involved a two week voyage through computer heel once again!!
After Windoze kept resetting my video driver because it did not like my second display hookup, I kicked it off my laptop...
Now I have another computer that is an old HP 640Z and I wanted to be able to use that as a virtualization host....
Turns out that the video card in that system is an older Nvidiot kepler chip that the modern Nvidiot drivers don't understand....
I went thru every distro I had!! About 200 of them and the only ones that understood and automatically loaded the correct drivers were 2 distros!!
I had a choice between Ghost BSD and Manjaro!!!
In order to connect to the internet I tried a couple of advertized "driverless" USB dongles....no dice for Manjaro!! Still wouldn't connect or recognize the dongle...
OK,,,Ghost BSD had no problem with one of the dongles...cool!
Now I try to setup virtualization....VirtualBox is in the repositories as well as QUEMUOUS...I just wish they made the name ...
