now gopher, those people might be onto something

the ethos for gemini seems to be retro web revival but it's anything but. if i can't open your website on my pentium 2 windows 98 machine it's not retro

i think it's stupid for gemini to need ssl and be less featured than html. pick one or the other

FTP is a pain, the available clients either don't work, or are abandon-registerware, or require more RAM my machine can have (despite the ACA620 having 10MB RAM, you need to limit it to 4MB to use PCMCIA) so the only way so far i got it to work was using AmiTCP's ncftp on the command line but hey, i can download from aminet without sneakernetting the whole hard drive over to WinUAE anymore!

despite the amiga community at large, i have my 600 online doing IRC, FTP and ANSI telnet :D

@JordiGH i've used those points to very drunkenly argue that tetris is a roguelite once. everybody groaned

Thank you for playing Wing Commander!

@jk for the past year or so every time i've gotten in a car as a passenger i had the sinking feeling i'd forgotten my retainer. as i often did. when i last needed a retainer. over a decade ago.

@lion are they not sorted by folder at all? wouldn't you be able to just mark a whole folder nsfw? that's what i did with @iconolog

@lion botsin.space is the go to for hosting bots, no idea what their nudity policy is but the admin there is pretty responsive if you wanna just ask

amiga continues to be the most impenetrable computer platform with linux at a very close second

the thing that bothers me about this is how aminet is the mecca of amiga software everybody tells you have to get everything from but none of the (commercial in 1993) software there is cracked or pre-registered, you need to make an account in eab abime to get those, so everybody is just refusing to say the quiet part out loud and sweeping it all under the rug

i didn't think pissing on the poor would transfer over from tumblr

@jope you haven't, you just refuse to say the quiet part out loud 💜

i guess amiga abandonware with no possible means of registration is cool to pirate

@jope i would like to not pirate it.

@jope i can pirate amftp and i'm not asking for help doing that. i'm asking why is it a recommendation in 2024 if i can't not pirate it
