If you place a reservation for a Model 3 or MODEL4 #cyberdeck during #hope26, I’ll donate 10% of the full price ($55 or $44) to the EFF (@eff). You can place the order through the website, but if you’re really cool, you’ll use the #gopher e-commerce ( #gophercommerce ) store. ;)

Yesterday I finally have found out how does scroll wheel works in rio. It's similar to how the scroll bar works. The more lines below, the more lines get scrolled at once. I was wondering why my scroll wheel is so sensitive. It was just because I have the habit to keep the mouse pointer at the lower part of the window.

Got the latest 9front release running on my X200 this afternoon. Plan for the evening is either (a) watching Season 2 of 24 with my wife, or (b) getting the WiFi going on the X200 if she's asleep 🤣

@hazematman If you're looking *without* the modern web, I'd recommend Plan 9. https://9front.org/. It should run quite well on your older hardware (modulo drivers - 9front maintains a good list).
Whether it's right for you will depend on what exact tasks you need to run on your daily driver.

#plan9 bootet. Es sind zwar keine Eingaben möglich (weder Tastatur noch Maus) - aber man kann ja nicht alles verlangen 😉 -
I am continually amazed by Unicode.
I remember having to use custom software just to read/write Arabic text in the early 90s. And it's not like that software enabled the OS to do so, it let you read and write Arabic in that application, only. It was a standalone Arabic text word processor.
I think it was called Al Katib, but I can't find anything on it online. It was for the Mac.
Even in the early-mid 2000s, I remember seeing a friend's Windows XP machine with Japanese internationalization. Pretty sure it used something like Shift-JS, because the
\character always showed up as a Japanese character. ;)And by some miracle, we have this text system with literally millions of code points (if I'm using that term correctly), and yet it looks just like normal 7-bit ASCII most of the time (thanks to the #Plan9 devs).
Amaze! Amaze!
