Or maybe there are people who find working in low powered environments that behave a certain way, more like computers did in the 80s enjoyable.
It's not about boomers or what's powerful and what's not. Some things are just for fun and that's all the justification they need IMO.
Also, how would that 'weirdness' impact using the device in a teaching context?
What would you like to see instead? Z80? Something else?
Kinda hard to say for sure, could it also be purposeful on the part of the owner?
Seems crazy I know but stranger things have happened!
I don't know if it has that feature yet. Maybe go to the bug tracker and see if someone's already filed an issue you can +1?
Oh I totally agree. The Lua idioms can be confusing and the documentation ecosystem is currently in a place where if you already know Lua well it's incredibly helpful, but bridging the gap for beginners is a challenge - one worth embracing!
It's not a distribution.
It's a bag of Lua files you can use to get started.
Also, it's not for you :) Users who know enough to hold such opinions aren't the target audience.
Do you folks choose OpenBSD over FreeBSD because of its enhanced security or are there other reasons to recommend it for folks looking for an alternative to Linux?
That's not just understandable but how could it be any other way?
Heck just Vim itself is layer upon layer of powerful functionality. Now layer in the immense potential of Neovim's Lua based plugin ecosystem and client/server architecture? 🤯
Give yourself the time to learn. Focus on just the things you need to get the task you're doing RIGHT NOW done, then focus later on things that can level up your knowledge and productivity.
I've been thinking about making Neovim tutorial videos for Youtube. If I did, what kinds of things would be useful to you?
I just loved everything about this show. It was way more erudite than it had any business being, ESPECIALLY considering the vapid television offerings of its time.
Darn, now I wanna go re-watch the series :)
Hello!
I joined the SDF a number of months back but got more involved about 2 months ago when I upgraded to a MetaARPA membership.
One of the things I just adore about the SDF is that, as a new comer, it seems to emphasize the creative, artistic and social aspects of computing rather than being yet another place for entrepreneur culture mavens to try out their new side hustle :)
I have nothing against making money, but I fell in love with computers in the 80s because they were bicycles for the mind, and I want people to remember that :)
I've been stumbling around the Boston area for close to 40 years now. I adore old computers, reading anything and everything I can get my hands on including but not limited to science fiction, urban fantasy and science/history.
It's neat that MetaARPA members get PBX extensions - it would be neat to organize a voice chat every now and then if there isn't one already!
Thank you to everyone who helps make this happen. I look forward to figuring out how I can pitch in helping to continue to make this place awesome :)
Are there any off the shelf available 68K based computers these days? I wasn't aware of one but that would be cool :)
AMIGA 2023!!! :)
