  • @danishdude1944@feddit.dk my parents bought my brothers and I an Apple IIc a year before the first Mac made it obsolete. We had a Commodore 64 with a cassette tape drive for games.

    The first computer I bought with my own (borrow student loan) money was a 120MHz Mac 8500. I bought it before I graduated, took it to the graphic design lab and cloned one of the lab 8500 drives with all the software onto it. A few years later I ended up working at that same university and disposing of hundreds of worthless 8500s.

    I was still paying mine off :(

    If you are going to evaluate Drupal in 2025, I STRONGLY encourage you to start with the Drupal CMS install. There are so many optional modules with Drupal, it can be overwhelming.

    If you are already familiar with Docker, you can spin up a Drupal CMS instance using DDEV. You’ll have no problem Googling that.

    If you aren’t familiar with Docker and want to try it, https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms/launcher is a ridiculously easy way to start on most operating systems. That approach gets a little trickier when you want to move the site/cms application instance to a host. There is documentation, but I would look it over before getting too far into this approach.

    My recommendation for spinning up a Drupal CMS instance is on a free sandbox on https://docs.pantheon.io/drupal-cms. Acquia offers a free trial in exchange for the information they need to target you with marketing, but it is only a 4 hour trial. Pantheon lets you keep your sandbox as long as you account remains active.

    Unfortunately ActivityPub isn’t included in any of the Drupal CMS Recipes (yet), so you have to add it with composer require 'drupal/activitypub:^1.0@alpha'.

    Composer is npm for PHP. If you are familiar npm, apt-get, homebrrw, pip, gem, etc, you’ll have no problem understanding Composer.








  • @Cris_Color@lemmy.world being nice helps establish the “tone”, but I’m not sure that wouldn’t change with another “API event” on Reddit that results in another, larger mass migration.

    Another suggestion I have for college graduates is to ask your alma mater if they are going to start using something other than commercial social to engage with alumni.

    Most universities don’t want to make mistakes investing in the bleeding edge, but they are quick to follow. When a few schools do something, many more quickly copy that. They are also looking for low cost wins. Their engagement numbers are already telling them that Xwiiter no longer works to reach alumni or potential students.

    If even a handful of alumni suggest a change at the right time, that is often enough to get them to give federated social a try.

    That is when the less toxic “tone” really helps.
