  I'm doing my damndest to not go full Gollum "Precioussssss" over the feel of my new keyboard. ZSAs keycaps are delightfully stimmy. There's just enough texture to feel grippy without feeling grindy.

  Hello everybody. I'm still here. I've just been too busy to post. I've been busy with work. Gotta keep those toasters flying.

  @_aD Yeah, they need to give slapd a kick most likely.

  I'll repeat it again and loudly for the people in the back of the room: just because someone doesn't know what you're outraged about and asks for sources so they can form their own opinion doesn't necessarily mean they're acting in bad faith. It is 2026. The Internet is full of disinformation and other people acting in bad faith. Search engines deliver increasingly bad results that are full of slop. Giving help to someone who asks for context and sources is a kindness. Name...

  Question for the day: Where have you compromised freedom for convenience?

  HumanOS has far too many unpatched critical flaws. These flaws go back at least 10,000 years. The creators of HumanOS could not be reached for comment, however their representatives continue to refer to a vaguely written allegory that is thousands of years old. Unfortunately these creators also tend to blame the HumanOS agents rather than themselves and promise to punish infractions. Eventually.

  As a person who lives in the world created by GNU tools and other Linux era developments, I can't understate how much I appreciate brew for my Mac.

  Somewhat a subtoot: When is the Automan reboot going to happen? HMM?!? 😆 What a horrible TV show. I liked it as a kid well enough, but even then, felt (for probably the first time) that the show was actually terrible.

  I was today years old when I realized why someone on here having a cat named Donut is hillarious. LIke, I knew it was hillarious, but didn't consciously make the Dungeon Crawler Carl reference.

  Last night it really hit me that Myst is really just an Infocom-style text adventure game with clicking and graphics instead of typing and text.

  What on earth am I going to install onto my Thinkpad T450S. I'm shooting for a low weight daily driver.

  I fear that the acting is campy, the story a bit forced at times, and the effects have not held up per se. Babylon 5 has a good core of a story with strong points to make. After all these years I'm able to forgive the failings of what are essentially window dressings. There's just an amazing story there, and of a scale never attempted in a show like this. It's a series that somehow continues to get screwed over in spite of breaking so much new ground. I love it for that. #bab...

  Oh dear. We're at the B5 episode where they have the creepy classist/eugenicist/asshole species that sign on... for interesting and unfortunate reasons. This is really where the writing and buildup of a larger story arc started paying off in the series. #babylon5

  Today's quandry: I have always, even when they were still being made, wanted an Amiga. I used one once, maybe twice. Now I'm wondering if investing in real hardware is a worthwhile pursuit. I have no real nostalgic connection to the system like I do my C64. So #askfedi / #retrocomputing folks: What is your take on diving into hardware retrocomputing for a system you've never owned?

  In true cart before the horse fashion, I've validated the bus clock on my #rc2014 days after successfully powering it up.
