I lost all respect for his technical taste when he confessed that his daily driver is FreeDOS. I know linux folks skew at least a little contrarian but at that point I don't think we're speaking the same language of computing and there's not much I can learn from ya. Not super surprised to hear he went way overboard contrarian in other ways I guess.
N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?
The nice thing about Samba is that you can find clients for everything.
Inwas under the impression that we had USENET access via our newsreaders on SDF, I even tried reading it a bit but it seemed like a ghost town... but someone told me it's not actually connected to the wider usenet so it would just be for SDF (which would explain the emptiness.) Was I misinformed?
Thanks for making an RSS feed, subscribed!
I like games that indulge my poor impulse control and reward risk-taking and recklessness. Battle Royale games seem to be the exact opposite of this, which I think is why they rub me the wrong way. I don't want twenty minutes if waiting only to die in ten seconds, I wanna die over and over for twenty minutes and maybe still win the match.
I'd love a way to browse other instances "local" view the way I can browse my own home instance.
Incidentally, this is also a missing feature on Mastodon.
My main problem with Apple is they really only care about what you've done for them lately.
They have a tendency to obsolete things and force devs to come along for the ride. They killed PowerPC, they killed flash and they're in the process of killing x86. If devs are still around they need to work to catch up. If they aren't, the applications just won't work anymore. Compare this to the backwards compatibility of, say, Windows applications. I like when my applications continue to work.
I also wish they'd never inflicted smartphones upon the world, but I suppose that's a personal gripe.
Maybe he found out how many people blocked him.
Ha, I was gonna recommend retro on sdf.
Way back in college, I took a class on systems programming where, because our professor was awesome, we logging in to macs remotely and pretended it was BSD Unix and worked on YACC and stuff. I'd of course used my linux terminal locally, but something about logging in to remote machines (and reading The Cucoo's egg) was undeniably cool, especially the idea of logging in to one other people also used. I hosted one of my first websites there, discovered and explored gopher, usenet, and of course (mostly lurked) the bboard.
