From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!

Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

I love how his specs were so outrageous back then but are just becoming normal now

  • flat screen monitor 40 inches wide - you can easily get one now
  • every file inspected, no viruses detected - EDR is a thing now which is constantly watching for malicious activity
  • it does all my work without me even asking - automation is definitely a thing now
  • got me a T1 line at my house - we're well beyond 1.5Mbit to the home now lol

lol you WISH you had “a hundred gigabytes of RAM”

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I got a couple of those on order. Always nice to have a few high mem nodes in the compute cluster.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's the one that stood out to me the most. Those are available now, but only in a four stick configuration.

Some servers do already. And not just business class either, I know of a few Plex servers that are running on 256 GB RAM disks

You think your commodore 64 is pretty neato,

What kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?

You're using a 286? Don't make me laugh. Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?

[–] BadWolf@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could backup your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette. You’re the biggest joke on the internet.

WHAT?

In case you don't know who Weird Al is, he was/is famous for making parodies of well known songs. This one is based on "It's all about Benjamins": https://youtu.be/0c58ppLPJcQ

"Amish Paradise" is great: https://youtu.be/lOfZLb33uCg

Or "Smells like Nirvana": https://youtu.be/FklUAoZ6KxY

Here's an interview with him, talking about his most iconic tracks: https://youtu.be/ETyCK9mqhDI

Thanks, l'll take an Al rabbit hole any day. I'm well aware; had "The Compleat Al" on betamax.

I was simply quoting the last line of this lovely artistry.

"What?! "

[–] daq2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I remember downloading this onto a Zip disk at school because I only had dialup at home and wanted to watch it over and over!

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
