  remoting into a mister over SSH from emacs is so cozy I get all my nice stuff inside of my local session to poke at config files, use dired to manage stuff, run remote shells and whatnot while the device is running on the side

  I think editor wars people do not even bother beating up nano people because of the worry that the lack of braincells will rub off on them

  holy shit amiga forever sucks "no DRM" means you get a fingerprinted copy with your license key and a setup that decrypts ROMs at runtime lovely!

• View post

  I just learned that amiga forever fucking keeps the kickstart roms encrypted at rest what the actual fuck, this is the kind of shit that makes me want to get a refund, I assumed I'm buying actual files with a bundled shitty emulator I can just ignore so I can get licensed ROMs

  you probably considered the possibliity of being put on a watchlist for saying or doing something as potentially a bad person but have you considered that your bizarre behavior, like IRL might've tripped counterintelligence measures and that they wasted resources figuring out if you're a foreign spy?

  I think retro computing can be a somewhat cheap hobby if you're smart about it hunt for deals, know your way around sorting out things like storage and bootable media on old computers, aim for old laptops, even beat up ones…

  I just noticed that the box of rice I have has a badge saying it has the name printed in braile. The sign is just a printed thing. So like, what is this, some sort of mockery? Oh LOOK this thing has braile on it, too bad that the intended audience can't SEE that because it doesn't matter either way. Like what the actual fuck?

  I just ignored a kernel panic in haiku, an USB related assertion failed and you panic at me? no you don't, you'll boot like nothing happened

  protip: x86 is getting truly obsolete if you want to mess with 32 bit stuff, it's already on the way out, and it's going to get harder as time passes distros are dropping support, hybrid build of haiku is in a sorry state

  https://gimp-0-54-410d78.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/index.html The GIMP, from before GTK, wrapped up in a flatpak you can run on a modern distro. Pretty lovely, so many things are consistent with modern versions, including the threshold tweaking for the fuzzy select tool, which is like one of my favorite things. The best UI was shockingly decent even back then.

  The very first public release of The GIMP (0.54) had a community plugin written that did the map to sphere thing that was later turned into the spinny ball animation.

  things you could technically do I think: run a voodoo with an old laptop by breaking out to PCI from cardbus, just the most unhinged eGPU (more like external 3D accelerator ha ha) setup imaginable

  ngl, nugget laptops can be fun, you can get an entire toy to play with for peanuts if you want to experience an old thinkpad and make it do things even certain sought after models can be snagged for cheap if you search around, like the 600x I got, a beat up one and stuff, but I have one!

  time extension has truly devolved into crashout posts about someone having used AI like holy shit at this point you're not even discussing retro gaming, just that someone on github admitted to using AI in a decomp or a recomp project
