I’ve heard it’s actually a 16-bit machine, but limited in very peculiar ways.

I live in (and grew up in) Texas, which is probably why I saw them growing up. I don’t think they were nearly as popular as Commodore or Apple, or even Tandy (another Texas company!)

Man, I haven’t seen a 99/4A in a reallllly long time.
I didn’t have one at home, but I remember playing with one for a while, probably at school, or possibly at computer camp.

It’s not actually in NewPipe itself as #NewPipe is designed to never pass any information about the user to the services it is downloading the video from.

What I do is hit the share button, copy the URL, then open #Tusky (or your fediverse client of choice), go to the search field, paste in the video URL, and then reply like you’re replying a toot.

If you close NewPipe and open the video again (your history makes this easy), it should load your reply as a comment.

IBM: We poured money and resources into Linux before 99% of the business world had even heard of it. We helped make it great. Why shouldn’t we require a return on that investment?

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I think IBM/RH is bone-headed as heck and are now inexcusable violators of the GPL, and other licenses.

I knew they were going to *break* RH and make it something abominable.

But they *were* there at the very beginning of the 2000s, promoting Linux heavily. (Not altruistically, of course)
