Touching grass most likely
In a world afraid of quiet …:
It is easy to get lost.
When it used to be fun and no age verification required.
RE: @keyboards@mastodon.social
Soon we will need to compute again like this. No age verification required.
Went grocery shopping and got a nice surprise on the way out. #car #motorcycle #retro #vintage
For those who still use their PalmPilot and Palm devices.
Does anyone know of any #Commodore reviews from someone who bought the new model but never used the original #computers? I’m curious how their experience with it compares.

It may not be vintage but my 2011 Mac Mini is operational. As a music server it is great with iTunes and my old iPods.
This morning I installed the Powerfox browser along with Firefox ESR and both work excellent. Even plays YouTube videos. Installed uBlock Origin, Proton Pass and some other privacy extensions in ESR. Unfortunately Powerfox is limited with add-ons, but it's quick on this old Mac with 8GB running 10.13.6 High Sierra.
It feels like I'm back in 2011 listening to music browsing the web and converting FLAC files to ALAC with XLD for iTunes.
Started watching a new #anime called ERASED.
This is not your ordinary anime. Time travel? Murder? I don't know yet, but it's pretty good.
Still on the search to find a used bike. My goal this year is to get back into riding and getting healthier.

@adamsdesk@fosstodon.org @mike@fosstodon.org I don't miss getting cut up from plugging in keyboards and mice and later building computers for everyone. People today have no idea how lucky they missed that time!
Another day and another few more subscription cancellations. The last few enjoyments I had.
In this economy it is hard to have anything extra and nice. These corporations raising prices don't help the situation.

@qlp @geerlingguy It is such a good feeling once you own your media and run it from your server.

@adamsdesk@fosstodon.org Yes, I still have the luxury of two 5.25" drives in my first 8088 PC in the basement. Used to program in BASIC on that thing with some Printshop banners to plaster on my bedroom wall!😂

@mike@fosstodon.org @adamsdesk@fosstodon.org I used to work in an office and supported my co-workers when this happened. Plugging it into the wrong ports even when the mouse and keyboard were color coded!

@82mhz@mastodon.bsd.cafe The OG Xbox dashboard brings back memories. I can hear the startup sound in my head by looking at that image!
Yesterday at work I kept thinking about setting up all of my old gaming consoles. Just need to clean up the rooms before hand so my wife doesn't get mad with all the clutter! 😆
Replying to
@82mhz@mastodon.bsd.cafe Me too. This was from the late 80s IBM PS/2 computer and others later on. This was my first computer in school when they decided to get all new computers for computer and accounting class and other classes.
Sure brings back memories.
Starting my annual rewatch of Sopranos. We live in a world of remakes of film and tv. I wonder if we would ever get a Sopranos remake 🤔
It probably wouldn’t be as great as the original of course but I could see those Hollywood guys trying.
I'm surprised I enjoyed watching The Fall Guy movie. Most movies created from tv series are horrible slapstick comedy.
I remember as a kid watching the series with Lee Majors and had very low hopes for this movie. I was entertained and happy to see Lee in the end.
Touching grass is going to take new meaning in America if this gets passed.

@matthew@social.retroedge.tech I remember that when the first USB ports started showing up. Gamers were hardcore serial ports too for their controllers.
