21:07 Finally got to run an SX-Window emulation thanks to the Virtual OS Museum — which is a 15GB VM image in which you run the X68k emulator via Wine, because nothing exists for Linux — only to find out that it's not so much an OS as a glorified / over-e…

00:11 Oh you can still get 128GB 2.5-inch SSDs for under thirty euros, maybe reviving my old Intel Mac mini isn't impossible after all.

08:03 @zoul@boskovice.social After some investigation this looks like a part of an e-mail bombing / flooding botnet or service.

* * * There were a lot of other factors to visionOS' failure, but the foldable's reception might shape up to be the real test of how much users care about third-party apps.

00:12 Oh no. ➔ writing.exchange 10:40 @KO6YQ@pnw.zone "The Workslop Tax" by Marketoonist comic / Tom Fishburne - #GenAI has been earning a reputation for #workslop: polished-looking but unhelpful low-quality content that others need to rework or correct,…

00:38 @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io 🤦🏿‍♂️ No.

00:05 I'm designing something to hold a USB fan behind the TV pointing at where the processor heats up and it took me half a dozen prints to get the spacing right between the bumps that fit into the vents, but I used the Measure app on my iPhone to get the

10:31 @somebody@circumstances.run san francisco isn't real, it's just three portals to hell in a trenchcoat @davidgerard 13:36 @prinlu@0x.trans.fail great post by @brennan We have been watching the fragile fury of white masculinity and hate metastasize and

11:22 You can't include a game in a Steam festival without its developer's consent, can you?

15:11 @kottke@mastodon.social The 101 Plays Itself.

09:49 Sometimes you look up a stupid device you've seen in a video and your immediate reaction is, oh no, I was hoping it would be more expensive so I wouldn't be tempted to buy it. ➔ www.keychron.com 10:16 I'm searching for how to turn an RGB keyboard in…
