everyone who has ever complained about big mail providers making it difficult to self-host with their opaque and draconian filter policies:

ESPECIALLY YOU should self-host and offer free mail accounts. organize to repay them in kind and undo decades of gentrification. reclaim the means of communication.

it’s not “i can’t talk to you because gmail is blocking my email host”.

it’s “my email host is blocking gmail for spam”. which is what actually happens when you remove all exceptions from a self-learning mail filter.

hot take but firefox died when they started introducing pocket stories. Everything after that was just the corpse rotting

This is the best I can do creating my own character. I just added hair to this public domain sprite, but the result looks like a middle aged man.

@icedquinn All you really need to do is fork Simitone and include your own custom assets, but unfortunately, the project is only source-available, not FOSS.

still finding bugs in the game ;_; gonna hopefully get the current playthrough done tomorrow though, and then i'll push the 1.0 update!

What would be really nice is the ability to post something and choose which servers the posts federate to. I think Librem.social has this feature but it's only for posts that stay on the home server.

@Forestofenchantment @get @ooignignoktoo Reminder that modern GTA only exists because Nintendo screwed Body Harvest.

@ooignignoktoo @get False. GTA II was the only good one. The rest being safe-edgy garbage trash for redneck teenagers.

@bonkmaykr@canithesis.org Oh, incase I forgot to tell you guys, I'm porting this thing to the Amiga, whoops! The plan originally was to wait. The engine will have to be partially rewritten but I'm reusing the same code. I decided since all the non-graphics related code will be the same anyway I would just start porting the unfinished piece now and develop both versions side by side.

Soooo the libnix library takes up 1.1 MB by itself and that means nothing I cross compile from Linux to AmigaOS will work on real hardware, save for the Amiga 1200, and realistically the 1200 will need lots of Fast RAM expansion to handle it. Yikes... 😬

It also means I will need to fit the entire game within 300 KB or separate my boot + asset disks in order to even fit the game on a single floppy disk. Agh...

The other alternative is rewriting all the standard library functions my game uses in 68000 assembly.

Hi,

I am looking for an old laptop compatible with RHL7 (y2k) and MINIX 3. Nothing I own at the moment is sufficient.

I searched eBay for P2-class Thinkpads in decent condition but the Thinkpad enthusiast market has made those unaffordable to someone of my income, and I'm not very familiar with what other OEMs offered.

What is something cheap that anyone here has personal experience with and would suggest buying used?

My only requirement is that it's from before Y2K, and is from the pentium 1 through pentium 3 range, with an optical drive (readonly is fine). I'm aware lots of older laptops had ghosting issues so having a good LCD panel is a must, I can't be bothered with a VGA monitor/dongle. Do list the specs with your suggestions.

No desktops if you can help it, I have four of them in a single room already and the cables are becoming unmanageable.

Thank you in advance for the help.
