Hello, long time FOSS user here, I landed in SDF and the Fediverse a few weeks ago, but just noticed the hello world post. I am still adapting and finding my place, but I am VERY happy with the experience so far! Also, I find myself participating much more than in the "other" site, probably because the general feeling and tone around here is quite good and relaxed.

Beautiful. Well done!👏👏👏👏

25 years ago I fell in love with the M68k trainer board we used at the digital design classes. My teacher saw my enthusiasm for the elegance and simplicity of the architecture, and recommended me to find an ST to work with it, but all the available ones in my area were horribly out of reach for my meager economy at the time.

And... emulators are merely a placebo for the real drug.

I hope you are enjoying your beauty and may be able do for many more years. I am truly jealous and happy!!!

Down the memory lane! At that time downloading a full distro with my poor 33.6k modem was an unfeasible nightmare, and I remember buying the Mandrake Powerpack box with several CDs, books... and stickers! I fondly remember how the included assistants (diskdrake and similar "drake" tools) tried to make things easier for newbies like me... and of course they only worked half of the time!

In my current case, because my local public transport service is not the most convenient.

I live in a medium sized city were we only have bus service. We have many lines covering "almost" all the city, but each of the lines only has a relatively small number of buses available. This causes long delays between arrivals and makes combinations very difficult when needing to use more than one line. Waiting times of 40 minutes in the bus stops are not uncommon. By car, it takes me 15 minutes to go anywhere.

Another issue is with pricing: in our case buying individual tickets VS a monthly pass only makes sense when you do more than 40 trips every month. It literally costs me more to use the bus than to pay for gas.

In the past I lived in much bigger cities with underground service and plenty of buses available, and I barely used the car, and didn't even considered the pricing.
