@trashheap Very disappointed to hear that Sean from #ActionRetro is continuing down that road. I was a big fan of his channel, I liked his style and the content was interesting and fun to watch. Sadly, like many, I unsubscribed after the infamous vibe coded markdown editor episode a few weeks ago.

Perhaps I'm out of touch, but what's the point of using LLMs to create software for retro machines? Surely the fun is in the creating and learning?

Holy crapola, this Panasonic Executive Partner PC is a big boi. It does looks cool, though.

Today I learned Apple dropped firewire support in OS 26 and Linux plans to drop it in 2029. I still have several miniDV cameras that are fun to record on. I guess I can continue with the old iBook I've been using to pull the video, but is till a bummer. The aesthetic isn't as strong as my Sony FD cameras, but recording in 4:3 is a fun challenge.

Script für "Windows-98-Distro" mit Installer für aktuelle PCs (!). Sie schreiben, es gäbe da auch eine lebendige Treiberszene und packen die mit drauf. Aktuelle 3D-Treiber wird man sich da bloß auf keinen Fall erwarten dürfen. Aber NVMe und …UEFI !! unterstützt. O.o

ELKS makes Tiny Core Linux and Puppy Linux look absolutely bloated by comparison. Spoiler alert: It'll run in 128 KB of memory on 16-bit systems.

Action Retro Demonstrates PS2 Linux
It's a weird bit of console gaming lore than Sony was so proud of the PS2's Cell processor that they actually officially ported Linux to it. All you had to do was buy the "Linux Kit," which contained two DVDs, a module that added monitor-capable video out and Ethernet ports, and a "gigantic" 40GB hard drive.

As it turns out,

Ah, so this is what the infamous PS2 Linux looks like...

Linux on the PS2.

The desktop defaults to the WindowMaker window manager. I think that's fitting since the design of the PS2 does have quite a NeXT-esque aesthetic, if you squint just right.
