I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.

Pentium II and 160MB RAM are plentiful, and it is no surprise that NetBSD is a breeze to use on it.

I got NetBSD running on a ThinkPad 760XD (Pentium MMX, 32MB RAM) which I revived around last summer, and it works just fine. Though running emacs on it is not a smooth experience with my configuration loaded, but it runs well vanilla. With enough tweaking, it can be a capable writing machine, especially with its flip-up keyboard.

The blog post is really good and insightful. I have never considered connecting aforementioned machine to the internet, but I think I might do it after reading this post just to try out Dillo.

Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.

That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

With so many opportunities presented to it, Mastodon still hasn’t found its footing with the mainstream audience.

I think its users should accept the platform will remain a niche for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. This works. I fully agree with comments made. I still have not found Mastodon intuitive to use daily as I find Lemmy.

Last I heard about this game was at the Game Awards a few years back. Nice to see the game development chugging along.

The gameplay in the boss fight video looks too cluttered, IMO. But there is enough time for the devs to tweak it or add options to reduce some of the on-screen elements.

Extending your rule: Never trust a service whose “Pricing” page is hidden.

Earlier today, I encountered a website[0] that does exactly this.

“Hello my friend. Stay a while and listen.”

The table along with the tableware resembles a face with a hint of dread.

It is subjective, I like the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

My organising system has a dual nature: it is either highly structured or a mess.

Information, such as documents, notes, spreadsheets, and images, is carefully organised into well-defined directories, no more than four or five levels deep. The destination directory is chosen at the time of download.

Anything that I expect to use more than once, even if only a few times, is dumped into a directory called GMS (Games, Movies, Software), which resides on a separate disk partition.

Everything else ends up in the Downloads directory, which is truncated every three months.

I too am a horse denier.

I always deny a horse.

BOSS.

I upvoted your comment just because it had links to the reference you made.

Also, the sketches were funny; thanks for sharing them.

Add a hyphen, keep shifting it between words, have fun!

No problem. Thank you for adding the link to the story update.

You could highlight the relevant content of the second link, like you did with the first. Most people are not going to click a second link.

E: noticed that the title has been updated.

I clicked in to mention the same thing.

Seems like it has been AI upscaled or generated.

Unless priced extremely cheap, or Apple plays the walled garden game with peripherals and/or restricts current device capabilities, it is unclear what this device offers more than what iPad or iPhone already does for managing home devices.

I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.
