Yeah, Macintosh System 7.1 or so is pretty peak #UI.
You can also spin up a VM for, let's say, Ubuntu 10.04 pretty easily. Whatever was the last Gnome 2.x Ubuntu release.
Also, some distros and probably BSDs have #TDE, the #TrinityDesktopEnvironment, which is based on KDE 3.x, I believe.
You could also just try Mate, but I actually prefer old Gnome 2 to Mate in side-by-side comparisons.

@golemwire ah yes, the good old "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" strategy … Classic Microsoft.

Why:
(Context: part of https://fosstodon.org/@golemwire/115008329976889834 and https://fosstodon.org/@golemwire/115022700783931624 )
I love the #diskette *form factor*. Large enough to label and hold comfortably without losing them, or scratching them like discs.
I know floppies are very outdated, being slow and very low-capacity, but I'm mostly storing text. I was able to get 38 in apparently good condition for a dollar at a garage sale, and my trusty (sorta, it's old!) Dell #D630 had an FDD module available for not too much money. -
@kgoetz @alerque @skroobler I still have one and I use it regularly while at college. It's the Dell #D630 . I have a floppy disk drive in the module bay, which I use for taking college notes.

CW: Politics; video with excessive profanity
Just learned about this Hasan Piker guy.
https://x.com/JeremiahDJohns/status/2043683447340691947
He's a Twitch streamer. That's a video of him promoting political violence. "Let the streets soak in their f[***]ng red capitalist blood"
An article on him, hoping the Democrats don't become a leftist version of #MAGA :

Copy Fail: Every #Linux distro from 2017 to 2026 is vulnerable. Gives a root shell.
Stuff like this makes me upset about current tech. It would be better if OS codebases were smaller. They're unmanageably large nowadays. #digitalMinimalism #KeepItSimpleAndStupid
This #vuln was surfaced with #AI , in reportedly about *an hour of scanning*! https://xint.io #XInt

They also have a nice website redesign. It's a lot cleaner IMO and pretty :)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@keyboards/116484578081746002
IDK if the #VIC20 was different, but I love how the #Commodore64 had an NMI key (Non-Maskable Interrupt), the RESTORE key. That means that when you press RESTORE, an interrupt is triggered which can't be ignored in hardware by the computer. (Of course, it can be ignored in software with, I guess, an RTI instruction? #6502 )
I've used it to mess with programs that are timing-heavy (like demos) or don't seem to have the interrupt vector set up :) #C64U

@rl_dane It handled it OK, actually. Definitely slowed down :D
I was wondering if it would give me #WindowsXP 's warning about opening too many programs at once, when I once accidentally did the thing I did on purpose here but on Windows XP.

I love the room the #C #programmingLanguage gives me to do advanced things.
I think for general programming, something a lot safer is better, and I think the flexibility of C lends itself to bad patterns sometimes, but it has its place.

The #XScreensaverCollection was a really nice way to stimulate my creativity when I was younger.

Moving Caps lock away from its modern location and replacing it with Ctrl is always a #based move. And I like how having the function keys on the left balances out a little the usual imbalance the #numpad introduces.
As usual, I love the huge enter key (deserving!) but the tiny backspace is probably a deal-breaker.

Imagine lugging this to your #college class and casually taking notes in, like, a Web development class :)
