how was 2004 internet, before facebook and youtube? how different was society? were people less lonely and did you live through it?

if youre interested id say this is a good representation of how a forum was
intpforum.com
its going to be leaning towards nerds but i imagine a lot of these people are millennials and genxs who grew up with those kinds of forums.
but back then, just imagine it that, you mightve had a really small forum around a particular niche and it got as much daily activity as a discord server today.
>>
>>106539988
yeah i know the forum, so you're saying pretty much geeks used them.
i never used discord but i guess that means pretty active like dozens of daily posts.
>>
>>106540185
>so you're saying pretty much geeks used them.
now yes but back then no, it was the same people you would find in a normie discord server. girls use them, women use them, kids use them, old people use them. variety. the only real difference was that the forum was superior for a community because of the better features. better community management software means better content (reward effort posting, allow long form back and forth communication, long lasting targeted threads)
discord has just been coping trying to add these features but the userbase is retarded at the root and they've made them that way, not themselves but they encourage it.
also the best feature was the public indexing aspect of the content, so randoms can find your community and join in the first place from search engines.
>>
>>106539896
>do you think all those things were used by normal people as well?
nope, normies were either watching tv or using messenger/fotolog. maybe habbo hotel or some shit.. but since smartphones were non existent and they didn't really know how to use wap, they used it for a limited time then went back to their normal outside lives.
Grandmas, moms and boomers in general were watching tv instead of being brainwhased in facebook or making dumb tiktok videos, the modern world is crazy if you think about it. I never imagined my grandma drooling at a phone, but here we are.

>would they have the same number of users?
A big popular forum around that time would be something like a busy thread in a busy board here, most popular ones I knew were software sharing websites. Normal forums were small, but with fresh blood since google was actually useful to find them.
>>
>>106540224
>it was the same people you would find in a normie discord server. girls use them, women use them, kids use them, old people use them. variety.
lurking the "non commercial" internet for something like two years made me realize how everyone is literally a 40+ year old geek. unix forums, cooking forums, movie forums, game forums, sdf.org. nothing against that but it's getting tiring.
i made this thread just as a way to rent about the fact that as a 20 something year old that does not use any kind of spyware like discord i will just be forever alone. i guess i was right then and someday i'll just be forced to keep my paranoia at bay and install windows + discord if i don't want to kill myself out of loneliness at 30. i just wish i was born in the 90s or something.
i guess honesty is a rare thing in this website, but there you go.

Like I said, the iPhone SE is better than the 13 Mini.
The SE is more comfortable to hold and use in the hand, it's thinner and has rounded edges.
The SE has an IPS screen so no OLED PWM eye cancer.
Home button / touch ID is way better than face ID.

I’ve got a hdd in my pc that has all my anime and tv shows, is there a way to add the drive to arch without having to format it?
For clarification I’ve jumped into the deep end, completely removed windows and have installed arch and got it running. I have plasma running as my DE, whenever I turn on my pc I have to enter my password to access my media hdd. My guess is that I need to mount it? Could someone point me in the right direction?

nta, but the ABI is not just syscalls, you don't know what you're talking about. Ever heard of dynamic linking? Ever heard of calling conventions? Ever heard of program loading? Program loading and parsing is defined by the binary format, which is compiler independent, but dynamic linking and calling conventions are absolutely coupled to the compiler, and since the first compiler used in the construction of any modern system has been the C compiler, those parts of the ABIs are defined by C. This makes it almost impossible to entirely get rid of C as a whole, unless you write an entirely new OS in an entirely different language.

If you only ever have to run on a lab PC or HPC, you can just load more cores and memory and charge it to whatever grant program the lab has. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7891784/

Also, these are biologists, they flunked out of anything higher than calculus and probably have no clue what a compiler is. What would u suggest them to use?
>>
>>106537796
It shunts them into errno and the application still has to choose how to deal with them.
>>106539291
None of those require C. Some of those conventions were established by what C compilers did but so what? It's like saying you'll never get rid of the PDP because that's what C was originally written for.
You could completely eliminate C and it wouldn't matter one jot that you continue to adhere to standards established by it.

I do use vim, why?
Are you trying to say I'm being a hypocrite because a TUI is just a terminal GUI?
The difference is I'm not trying to turn every cli into a semi-GUI. A few programs benefit from GUI-like interactivity, like htop and vim, but I still use the good old ls, git, grep, etc. the way God intended because it's an excellent way to interface with my system and doesn't really need improvement.
I could edit a file with ed, but that's a case with the cli isn't a good fit for the job. And sometimes I do just put a ps or pgrep command on a watch loop.

Is there any general way to be able to use a laptop strictly through power without it touching the battery? I know this seems something more suited to a Google search but there's so much conflicting information that I couldn't get a proper answer, sometimes apparently you could simply remove the battery and use it like that, sometimes apparently the laptop won't post without the battery.

And there's a bunch of brand specific BIOS stuff that also depends on the laptop model and it's all so confusing.

I will mainly be using my laptop intensely and I don't wanna kill the battery because of it, so in general is it bad if I constantly use it while it's plugged in? And if so what are some remedies?
