I wonder if people know how to have fun with a computer without social media, let alone without the web in general, let alone without the internet in general. Some of the most fun I've had recently was dinking around with #Plan9 with nothing more than a bunch of manpages and the occasional web lookup via #Mothra (a web browser who's capabilities closely match #Dillo — very web 1.0)

I was literally writing Uni class notes in MS Word until I discovered Markdown (not until after abandoning grad school, sadly). When I learned about it, I was like,"This is a UNIX system, I know thi—"

I mean,
"This is basically just #WikkaWiki or early #TiddlyWiki markdown! I already know this!!"

There needs to be a service calledamislopornot.comthat lets you punch in a git repo URL and tells you if there's any agents.md, claude, or copilot contributions. #Fedi, make this happen! 😆> return to compute efficiency (where every pixel, character, cycle and bit is precious and not to be wasted -- unless its for sake of funny cat videos, and even that the only exception. ok also dogs in costumes. no other exceptions. maybe a re-binge of Firefly. literally no other exceptions, however. unless Minecraft has new skins avail. again: last possible exception.
Make .GIF for still images again. It was never meant to be used for animations. 😥
The fact that you can effortlessly convert an animated GIF to mp4 in like a few seconds with ffmpeg, shave off no less than half the storage with no perceptible loss of quality (on a highly dithered image, to boot!) really tells you it's just not meant for that.> the important point is to aspire to be a vegan even while mouth stuffed with fresh bacon.)

Been playing with the Acme editor from #plan9port. Very much out of my comfort zone (vi-like editors) but so far I quite like it. My goal is to install #9front on my old Thinkpad T430 and use it for writing in my bedroom once I've properly gotten to grips with the editor. Seems like a solid choice of OS for reducing distractions and I find a lot of the ideas behind #plan9 really appealing.
General use daily driver is – and will remain – #openbsd, of course.
-
so i have been learning #sam and #acme properly and oh my god. acme is the best editor i have ever used. i love the fact that it really is an os interface in its own right. i have been completely underutilising it. i now have a setup on my second desktop at all times.
sam just seems like ed on steroids with a lot of the acme benefits of the mouse interface.
i am using acme for actual work or writing and i use sam for quick edits or config files.

Yeah. ;) (text after hashtags to force clients to fully display them, because [hashtags are poetry], dadgummit! ;)

Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.

Help, I have zero idea what I'm doing.

P.S., cleaned up a sample script I found online for downloading and launching 9front via qemu, and posted it [here].

Anyone else got a Reform running Plan 9, btw? I've never been able to get the reading of data from the lpc to work, and reading reform/pm.c and cross referencing with the lpc firmware, I'm fairly sure the implementation is just wrong.
Has this ever worked? Anyone have it working now? Curious if there was a breaking firmeare change or something...

Can't wait to see how #Commodore will implement the new Age Verification Requirement in the the PET, VIC-20, C64, C128 and Amiga Workbench.
Same for #Plan9 , #OpenBSD , #IRIX , SerenityOS , FreeDOS , #ReactOS , OS2 , #HaikuOS , Minix3 , RISCOS , AROS , CPM , Solaris and KolibriOS...
The answer: They won't because it's ridiculous.
