@lfa Um, it's an #OS8, but not the one for Mackertoshings. It's the PDP-8 tape/disk OS.

Further testing @elementary I am very happy I eventually could fix the annoying "hanging screen" bug, which was due to a bug of the #i915 graphics driver. Now the whole experience is a lot better thanks to the great hint of @mikael I only read by chance.

Now I hope the remaining glitches of the very important #AppCenter and #SoftwareUpdates parts are fixed before release of #OS8, because they don't seem stable enough to me right now.

elementary OS 8 - le novità dal fronte sviluppo

Danielle Foré, fondatrice e CEO di elementary OS, ha da qualche giorno pubblicato sul blog ufficiale della distro, un nuovo aggiornamento riguardante elementary OS 8, la prossima major release di uno dei più interessanti progetti legati al mondo delle distribuzioni GNU + Linux.

I can’t get my piscsi to play nice. I’ve messed with SCSI assignments of iso files, I’ve tried turning the power/termination switches off and on in different order.

This is as close as I get to seeing a cd image (emulated drives work fine)

I wrote a short series of help commands in #PunyInform for an #InteractiveFiction project. I wrote a short `intro` verb, a longer `help` document with the most common verbs needed to win the game, and a `stuck` verb that tells the user not to panic before advising on strategies for solving the puzzles.

I then decided to remap the StrongSub verbs over to my new StuckSub, so that it can catch anyone swearing at the game in frustration.

And yes, I included the #umdpdp12 #easteregg, where they found a command log of someone swearing at "this stupid chunk of germanium". I decided to make the help system replicate the #os8 error message in honour of this moment in #pdp12 #VintageComputing history.

@NanoRaptor this would be fantastic. Your account provides an insight into what could've been with hindsight enabled. #ios #macos #osx #appleHardware #appleComputer #os9 #os8 #MacintoshClassic
