  1. RE: fosstodon.org/@golemwire/11644

    @Gina That's awful. They're trying to get people to use the LinkedIn mobile app for identity verification, which is really annoying as they're trying to take me from my open browser to a locked-down platform. ( , anyone?)

    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.

    Whoa, #Florida is a whole different kind of crazy. XD

    I'm starting a Fluxer (Discord alternative) group for my computing environment :D

  8. @golemwire and OhMyGosh as an open source framework for managing your gosh configuration? hehe :blobcatgiggle:

  9. #Programming tip: if you want to allocate memory and explicitly tell the kernel you don't want the memory backed until you use it, try mmap(). Really useful.

    An example of mmap being used this way. gitlab.com/golemwire/subsky/-/ (permalink gitlab.com/golemwire/subsky/-/ )
    This is from my #SubSky emulator.

    (p_cpu->p_memory = (uint8_t *) mmap(NULL, (size_t) 1 << 32, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0))

    #mmap #kernel

  11. I reversed the stack direction in my and VM. The original stack order had pushes go towards the high end; the current direction has pushes go towards the low end (like and many other architectures*). It simplified a number of things, such as accessing variables in the stack frame ("lvalues" are now positive and start at 0 rather than -4 [the word size is 32 bits] ). The heap structuring will be easier to do now, as well.

    Experimenting with GWBASIC here, and it seems that you can't set the background to color 15/0xf (bright white), at least not in GWBASIC itself.

    So I guess I'm supposed to use color 7 (#AAAAAA), but that's kinda dingy, I dunno. :P

    I want my contrast, man!!!! 😆

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

  18. I added a Who This is For section to the README of my personal computing environment project, :) gitlab.com/golemwire/subsky#wh

    Why:
    (Context: part of fosstodon.org/@golemwire/11500 and fosstodon.org/@golemwire/11502 )
    I love the *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 had an FDD module available for not too much money.

  20. I created a logo/banner(?) for my computing system :D ( gitlab.com/golemwire/subsky )

    I need to get back to schoolwork

  21. I created a syntax highlighting config for my programming language Slang, for GNOME 's GTKSourceView :D

    This will make working on my videogame much more comfortable I think 😊

    (an @rl_dane hashtag lol. I had changed the DPI in so I could capture larger screenshots, and I think my NVidia driver might be breaking the Wayland xdg-output protocol, so its scaled funny)

  22. Introducing SubSky, a new 32-bit CPU and computing environment intending to be the most amount of power you can get from the least amount of computer.

    It provides you with a virtual with 16 instructions (few but versatile!), and a novel low-level between C and called Slang.

    The project supplies a small set of virtual peripherals and a minimal yet useful stdlib.

    Check it out!

    I wouldn't be a #Texan if I didn't like #DrPepper, but I only have it occasionally, and usually diet. ;)

    Thank you for responding.

    We're talking about a Raspberry Pi5 ENV: you can't go KDE on a Pie, since the microSD storage that I have is just 128GB. This is the 8 GB Pie5 not the 16 GB version
    The SBC came with a 32 GB card which I moved fast to something else, since just the operating system, the important data and the files that I need to keep, take more than 70% of it

    I should say that what I need to work does so properly in CopyQ

    If I could only easily map the window pop up to my favorite shortcut

    I have to correct myself
    The error log clearly shows that the pop-up window will never come up. See the other toot I have put up in the thread
