The closest thing to this right now (other than informally non-commercial spaces like Gemini) is Amateur Radio, where it's illegal to transact commerce or to advertise.
This right here is why I consider Ubuntu the "microsoft of Linux"
Ubuntu is a terrible excuse for a server OS, and ads have no place in tools like apt. Literally taking an upstream tool from Debian and adding ads to it.
Regardless of any amount of insistence to the contrary, #Canonical is becoming enshittified. They just have a little bit of self-awareness -- that's the only reason why it isn't more extreme.
I quite like the shiny metal and black combo on watches it seems. I just switched over from the one on the right to the one on the left and while they are very different watches there are also some similarities. 😉
I can't remember my first experience with emulation, but I remember hearing about software for early macs that would let you run DOS without any extra hardware, and that sounded like total magic to me.
My first emulator was probably something like NESticle, but I can't remember.
I can't express how great it is that we still have text based web browsers, they can be life savior when shit happens and for whatever reason Xorg can't start up, because they can be used on the TTY too.
Today I have this exact scenario when I had no other way to look up what could be my problem. I'm glad I have at least one of them installed on my systems.
I default to text-based browsers like w3m and links on slower machines. It's so nice to just get the info I need without having to wade through megabytes of crappy JS.
