So they are marketing this to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum fans? It seems powerful enough, we only use 256x192 with 16 colors (two of which are black).

Good job, Microsoft!

I'm glad someone focuses on the important facts. The way they are sitting sideways to the TV will surely give them sore necks.

I've been using it exclusively as my desktop for over 20 years. Does it have flaws and shortcomings? Sure. So have Windows and Mac. What system does not have issues?

Does it fit your use case? Who knows? Just try it and be the judge. If it doesn't work, just keep using whatever you're using, no harm done.

All you need is a USB stick, some curiosity and some time. It's not like it's a lifetime commitment or something. Unless, of course, you enjoy it... then you are doomed.

All the fucking right wing wankers are feeling empowered and crawling from under the rocks thanks to the blond Cheeto you guys idiotically voted as president. Economy is going to shit. This is a nice peaceful sunny European country and we're suffering with your idiocy. So not very happy. At all.

It's called frisson . There was an /r devoted to it, I haven't found any Lemmy equivalent.

Used Boost for Reddit, then when the API shenanigans happened I moved to Lemmy. I tried a few apps until Boost was working with Lemmy and I was happy. A few months back I started to notice some unfixed bugs, so I moved to Infinity and am happy again.

Holy rabbit hole, Batman! Very interesting article if you're a typography geek.

Tradition. You can't go around breaking traditions, now can you, minister?

I feel it'll not be done during my lifetime, but the hope is still there.

A lot of man-hours went into engineering it. Very smart people from many distros went over it, kicked its tires and deemed it good enough to replace old SysV. We've been through this, if you don't like it for some reason, use something else.

It's just software, people, it's not a frelling religion.

 

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

 

Hello gentlemen. It seems I've already have this in my collection, so maybe one of you want it?

Steam code. Comment below after you've redeemed it.

 

Attorney general statement confirms searches, arrest of António Costa's chief of staff and reveals that the Supreme Court of Justice will analyze suspicions that Costa intervened to “unblock” the lithium, hydrogen and data center businesses that are being investigated

 

What name have you chosen for your robot and why?

My Roomba is called Ramiro, after my slightly alcoholic uncle.

 

I see the question asked a lot in Linux groups, so I hope this bit of knowledge may help someone here.

 
 

The Next version of this game is simply stunning, even on my crappy little Blaupunkt TV. Recreated by Matt Davies and Simon Butler from the original Mike Singleton release, it shows just what a brilliant games machine the Next can be.

 
 

If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.

After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.

Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.

Good times.

Good looking mechanical keyboard project for the ZX81 (or the modern equivalent, the ZX81+38), including all the designs and schematics.
