Only 6 days to go until #MaySiXth, worldwide known as MSX-DAY! Everyone will post the best picture of their current #MSX setup so get cleaning, set-up the lighting, look for the perfect angle and make it a shot to be remembered!

This year there will be a free game too!

This is an extremely good book despite being old as dirt. The nice thing about single processor cores not advancing for the last 20 years is that most of the optimization techniques it lists are still highly necessary today

@wowaname Oh I forgot about that channel. Some guy literally made a living out of no-clipping games.

🚨 :OSI: The work of @osuosl is at risk as US academic funding faces historic challenges. The Lab hosts infra for over 1000 #FOSS projects, and uses the opportunity to train students in critical #DevOps skills. Nothing comes close to the value that OSL provides the global #OpenSource community.

If you or your employer can help support this critical work, check their website for donation and contact info.

Who's a figure you used to respect that did excellent work but jumped the shark or otherwise lost it completely?
What do you think happened?

Looks like DOGE was just an over-hyped distraction to placate MAGA supporters while Trump tightened the noose of the technocratic surveillance state.

@VD15 @coolboymew @hfaust I tried to paste an image into a Teams chat and it won't do it because it says it needs permission to use my microphone.

@phnt @PurpCat @RustyCrab @arcana @nemesis @Suiseiseki @sam @waifu @adiz @branman65 @mischievoustomato Still better than having one DOS-like and one Unix-like and trying to bridge compatibility with Wine.

>a WINE/Proton userland shim for a Windows desktop environment with under-the-hood Linux OS integration

That's honestly not a bad idea, better than ReactOS's recreate WinNT from scratch approach.

@adiz @mischievoustomato @PurpCat @nemesis @arcana @phnt @sam @RustyCrab @Suiseiseki @waifu @branman65 It would probably be better if there were a few distros and Unix-like OSes that remain niche while certain Linux distros like Ubuntu or Mint went mainstream compared to having Windows be mainstream because there would be better compatibility between both the mainstream OSes and niche OSes.

@phnt And if DWM wants to do that, that's fine. Most new users of Linux are going to stick with something coherent to them like GNOME or KDE. @PurpCat @RustyCrab @arcana @nemesis @Suiseiseki @sam @xianc78 @waifu @branman65 @mischievoustomato
