CONFIG.SYS: LOADHIGH

@nschultz @kamstrup cat is my goto tool for when a cat is about to walk on my keyboard, to soak up all the key presses That it can also be used to view a file is just feature bloat

@vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net Warez CDs are a surprisingly useful archive. I had the same with VistaPro (a landscape rendering program) a few years ago, where a Twilight CD is the only place that has seemingly preserved a later release of VistaPro. I'm surprised, though, that textures from Myst were even a thing that StrataClip sold as a package, and popular enough that it was pirated.

@nixCraft "custom AI agent" = the script contains an if statement

@brewsterkahle@mastodon.archive.org Nothing LLMs produce can be trusted. The companies behind them want to monopolize and control access to knowledge. I honestly find it odd that you would consider using their tools to produce content for the Archive, which is supposed to be a trustworthy repository of *human* culture.

@dammn@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social There are manufacturers that makes phones with a de-googled version of Android that they maintain and support, like Fairphone and Murena. Such phones are not cheap, though, but going against the mainstream never is. (I had an article with a whole list of manufacturers, but of course I didn't bookmark it. Will update this message if I find it again) Edit: Jolla is another one, but they contracted the AI brainrot.

@deane@contenttechtodon.org @256@mastodon.social Cache it to the hard drive, so only useful for the smaller programs. I found this review (that had trouble getting it to work): https://www.orchardoo.com/rev/rev36.htm?o

I feel bad about boosting anything related to the depressing state of the world, in which absolutely soulless husks determine the fate of so many. Especially so as I have been ignoring news channels since last year. If it's really important I'll hear of it some other way. In tech we have some obviously Hollywood-level "bad guy" characters, and then you have Red Hat. Irrelevant for years because of their own doing, now marketing themselves as a platform for murder. Purge them wherever you can.

@eibriel @vga256 They were all-in on the Mac, even still using a Macintosh SE (not sure which model) for composing music. You can see it in this behind the scenes video from minute 43 in (but I can recommend watching the whole video): https://youtu.be/QbEtFEFSYKc?si=_PyikVmAFck6Stk2&t=2585

@alyx @librewolf Thanks for the replies! This would have totally bitten me too. I don't think I ever considered that (any) CI would not be masking a secret because it happened to be multiline. Thank you for making a patch for this for Forgejo :)

@librewolf Thanks for being transparent about this. What caused the private (I guess) part of the key to be exposed? Is there something everyone can learn from this for the future? (edit: spelling error)

@zenbrowser That takes me back to the time Firefox had a RSS reader built-in

@jrdepriest@infosec.exchange @malwaretech@infosec.exchange That's really interesting, thanks

@web3isgreat Amazing, you can't make this stuff up

@garthbeagle@bitbang.social Nice, you got one of those rare Mac Pro Minis

@bitsavers @CryogenicIce9 @loriemerson Probably not, but 65 year old typewriters do! https://www.core77.com/posts/126253/IBMs-Ingenious-Solution-for-a-Typewriter-with-Swappable-Fonts

@polpo@chaos.social Congrats on making it this far with another project! I'm having the hardest time picking a color. Are there plans to offer just the enclosure so I could move the hardware between them?

@cyningstan Congratulations on the release! I just finished the first level. I had some questions about the combat but then I discovered you also wrote an extensive, authentic looking manual. It controls well and I really like the soft color scheme. If you're open to feedback, I have two interface related things: I keep reading the (lowercase) 'v' in as an 'y', and it would be nice if units that are out of movement points have some indicator.

@deane@contenttechtodon.org @256@mastodon.social Because the review mentioned Quarterdeck's website, I dove into The Archive. But I unfortunately couldn't find the "results" (benchmarks?) the article spoke about, just the press release: https://web.archive.org/web/19980119221249/http://www.quarterdeck.com:80/qdeck/press/speedyrom.html "Quarterdeck benchmarks show gains ranging from 11% to 92% for the second and subsequent passes on a CD-ROM with SpeedyROM active".

@gsuberland@chaos.social Amazing! Anyone want to chat about taxes? (send a/s/l)

@Jonasdahl@expressional.social @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I call it "LinkedIn lunacy", after the LinkedInLunatics subreddit

@kroltan@functional.cafe Any idea what system / OS you played it on?

@malwaretech@infosec.exchange Is Mythos any good though? I can't find any actual results through all the hype.

@carnage4life@mas.to He will first need a product that shows actual intelligence.

@gamemagprintads@mas.to Cool art, wouldn't mind this as a poster. I can't say I liked the game very much, unfortunately.
