Heck, vacuum tubes can be used to make a computer, and they’re relatively easy to make. Even further, purely mechanical computers exist, and they can do serious complex calculations

Beacon@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What the fuck is existence? What even is the truth? How does one know their parents are even real, and not just another actor in an IRL "Truman Show". Isn't history just another story?3·1 day agoSounds awful, i think i can empathize. I strongly suggest thinking much less about grand concepts, and instead put all your thoughts and energy into practical things you can do to improve your life. Things like:
- Go to the gym
- Find a therapist, or if you’ve got one try to find a better one
- Apply to school, or if you already are in one then try to improve your grades
- Look for a job, or if you’ve got one try to find a better one
- Start going to more social events, like local block parties
- Make a goal to say hi to a stranger every day
- Join a hobby group
- Start doing a new skill like painting or guitar
- Volunteer at a hospital
… and other stuff like that. Focus on how to make your everyday life a better life to be living
You don’t even need to do that, the earring can just be an sd card holder, and you slip the sd card right out of it
Being on an isolated island greatly reduces their interconnectedness with other species, but definitely doesn’t eliminate it completely
I don’t think any of us do, i think it’s just a photo of some random people
My dad has one that looks similar to that, and yup it still works
Beacon@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?71·5 days agoThe food in Germany is completely meh imo, EXCEPT for the restaurant sour kraut - holy shit it is sooooo much better than what we get in the states. Someone told me it’s because they cook it up in some kind of animal lard
Beacon@fedia.ioto Television@piefed.social•Disney in Crisis Mode as Studio Seeks Path for Jimmy Kimmel’s Return15·6 days agoYour comment was ambiguously worded and easily could read as if you thought Disneyland was in Florida. I don’t care about any of this, just elucidating where the confusion between you two happened
What era - early/mid/late 80s/90s/00s ?
What hardware - arcade/nes/pc?
By that definition everything is a ship, making the word useless.
In the morning i roll out of my bed ship and go to my toilet bowl ship where i drop a doody ship in the toilet water ship
Beacon@fedia.ioto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•If the UK government proposed to increase tax by 1% and make trains free would you be in favour?2·12 days agoThe tax raise should be graduated, not flat. It should be something like 0 percent on the lowest earners, .02 percent on the middle earners, and .2 percent on the highest earners
Beacon@fedia.ioto Television@piefed.social•Rainn Wilson Says ‘The Office’ Was ‘Jaw-Droppingly’ Offensive at Times and NBC Lost Out on a ‘Billion Dollars’ by Axing Dwight Spinoff: ‘They Really Missed Out’10·13 days agoWait, you’re telling me an actor thinks that a show starring himself would become a huge hit?! Unheard of!!!
Beacon@fedia.ioto ADHD@lemmy.world•Do any of y'all play video games like a normal person?5·13 days agoYou can be me for awhile if you want, but it would be a lateral move. At least the scenery would be different?
Beacon@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?81·13 days agoThe difference is that first responders willingly put themselves at risk when trying to save people, and in fact hundreds of them were killed while performing their first responder duties on 9/11. No nurses (or doctors for that matter) were killed performing duties at the scene.
That’s way higher res than i was asking for. Gross, no
I’d like to see an ultra low resolution low quality version of the video so i can get a sense of what it looked like but not give me a bad memory i can’t get out of my head.
Like 96 x 54 resolution, with lowered contrast and lots of mpeg compression artifacting
EDIT
i found this low quality still image and that’s more than enough for me

Or actually, no words.
Beacon@fedia.ioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People using fancy characters in their online username ironically makes them harder to be searched9·14 days agoWhy is that ironic?
