Just tell them FOSS isn't a personality and they've never read a single line of code in any open source project.

@sun@shitposter.world as a FOSS micro-hyperzealot, I thank the ethereal spirits of the network, every day, that people are actually still /choosing/ to use corporate proprietary software. When people are /really/ at the point of being /forced/ to use proprietary software, I think we should be up in arms instead :p

@ins0mniak @dj @p @sun Well few days ago I landed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Portable_486 which has uncited/non-referenced:A case-modified version of the colour screen variant with replaced internals was used as a prop in the 1995 film Hackers. With its internals replaced by those of a Macintosh laptop, it served as the character Dade Murphy's (Aliases: Zero Cool and Crash Override) primary computer for the first half of the film.

The only people I can't stand are "command line spooky", " I have to for work (and use my personal computer for work for some God-forsaken reason)", and "if you use an operating system I don't like then you're clearly a tranny and need to get a Microsoft account before you chop your dick off." If you have a reason, half a brain, and half a soul, I don't give a fuck what you use anymore.

@sun @dj @gray @ins0mniak @lanodan @p @pernia BTW, I booted Linux on SunRay too. I did it by decrypting the ROM. Well, calling it "encryption" was giving it too much credit. It was nothing more than a few rotations and xor. Sadly I think all related material was lost in people.redhat.com purge when I quit. The archive.org only captured some of it.

The only issue is that I ended up reappropriating an endpoint that I wanted to not use for hosting files but I keep using it because it keeps being convenient for that. The FSE stuff used to go through the /media/ endpoint and I decided to just shove it into that other one when I wrote the uploader, so I keep having to add stuff, like there wasn't any cache-control/expires/etc. until yesterday.

@gray @dj @ins0mniak @lanodan @sun Pretty sure it will boot without an FPU, but don't quote me on that. The original setup was a bunch of cheap diskless x86 terminals that'd tftp enough of the system to log into the MIPS boxes downstairs. They didn't write a screen-locking program, you'd just flip the power switch if you were going away. Cool system, it'd be fun to set up.

@p @gray @dj @ins0mniak @lanodan @sun The build quality on everything has gone to sh*t. They used to put nickel plates and aluminum frame reinforcements inside the 1980's and 90's game consoles. (Half the weight of the SNES was it's baseplate). These days, your shit's made to crack apart in a couple of years. Piss poor plastics which are hyper light sensitive, no metal innards and screws made of fuckin butter. Some bean-counting pencil-dick in accounting no doubt thought this was brilliant savings in shipping.... and the planned convalescence of the product is a sweet sweet sweet added bonus. (If not a primary consideration).I won't forget what was taken from us.

@p @dj @gray @ins0mniak @lanodan @sun Having repaired my GB and GB Advanced SP multiple times over the years, the difference the the shell quality is notable. The original game boy "flying brick's" case is twice as thick, and despite having to clean the yellowing with peroxide and Oxy, (which can weaken the plastic over time), its near bomb-proof still.Old consumer electronics were tanks.

@lanodan @dj @gray @ins0mniak @p @sun Painting would be cool, but I've yet to run into a paintjob that will keep up with the wear and tear. Even the paints baked on the SP's wear at the various contact points, revealing the grey ABS plastic underneath. The DS Lite's had a clear-coat that held up very very well, but people complained about the finger-prints so they went to a mat finish on the DSi. For the money, the Original Nintendo DS could play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, GBA and DS games. Once you replaced the displays with modern ones (better backlight), you have an excellent handheld that can play a huge library of games and has great build quality. (All the various Chineseium rom-hack handhelds are made from wet cardboard and Elmer's paste - and quickly fail to anything beyond novelty use - they make modern brand-name handhelds look like tanks in contrast).This is why I play on original hardware, and have gotten very very good at fixing it over the years. I have 6 bins of repair parts/dead systems that I salvage from.

@SilverDeth @dj @gray @ins0mniak @lanodan @sun Ha, after I moved out but before I acquired enough storage space, there were raids by younger cousins and my brother was also always looking for weed money; none of my copies of Nintendo Power survived.

@p @lanodan @dj @gray @ins0mniak @sun The pads are silicone - they melt at about 400 degrees. Far less than the ABS plastic of the case and buttons. I'd bet money they still work given the solder inside the case didn't melt. Literally military grade tanks.

@SilverDeth @dj @gray @ins0mniak @lanodan @sun Weed money is what happened to most of the games; children destroyed the magazines.

@p @dj @gray @ins0mniak @lanodan @sun Nintendo even applied a special protective film on the GB speaker that gave the unit a fair bit of water resistance. You could drop the thing in the toilet, and so long as you let it dry completely, and didn't power it on wet, it would most likely survive un-damaged. Most common failure point on a "beige-brick" GB is the D-pad. The silicone pads were much thinner than the A/B buttons for some reason.

@ins0mniak @dj @gray @lanodan @p @sun I went to PAX in 2011, and brought my (Japan Only) Game boy Light with me, and quickly attracted a small crowd as I waited in line for the Deus Ex: HR dev panel.

@ins0mniak @dj @gray @lanodan @p @sun Only a couple of the devs spoke English, most spoke French. They showed some clips of the built in sun-glasses and the crowd lots their shit (in a good way). My pal was worried they were gonna nerf the anti-globalist messaging that permeate the first game, and he waited in line to ask them if the narrative was going to change. They said it was a prequel, and showing how we reached the world of the first game. That panel was his big thing, I haven't played the Deus Ex games, I went for the classic arcade and the concerts they had.

@SilverDeth @dj @gray @p @lanodan @sun Im a massive fan of Deus Ex bro. I love the original, and I probably play through human revolution every 6 months or so.They did a really good job with it IMO, Im almost glad its hibernating as a series right now because anyone trying to do it with a bunch of woke crap is just going to destroy it.
