scourge of the fediverse, retired computer fairies founder (2017-2021), drone #6502, official amiga mascot, begrudgingly making a return to the fediverse to upset those who told us to leave. i've been here longer than you.

classic linux thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, is i was looking up what music players had good visualisations, like the milkdrop kind we all remember. one was a standalone app that could respond to any audio on the computer. cool! so i hit up my package manager. but i noticed something. the installation seemed to require the removal of a few packages and replacement with some other ones. it wanted to remove the audio subsystem on my computer?? and change it to a different one? Linux
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

"Halt and Catch Fire" premiered 10 years ago and went on for four seasons and 40 episodes. @polygon's Devan Suber describes how the beloved AMC show understood the draw of video games better than any show that's come before it. "In the words of Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), the computer was always 'the thing that gets us to the thing,' a vector for connection, expression, or some other deeper human need."

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

"'Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live."

Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says *WELL ACKTUALLY*??
I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now
robotkin culture is only being able to be seen as a robot by the people who want to fuck you, no existence besides being someone else's kink #robotkin #robotfucker #robotphilia #otherkin #otherphilia #monsterfucker #robotphilic #objectum #therian
robotkin culture is wanting to be abused because that's the only interaction you have left #robotkin #otherkin #robotfucker #robotposting #robots #objectum
robotkin culture is pretending to be human so that people don't think you're a freak and distance themselves from you 💜 #robotkin #otherkin #robotfucker #robotposting #robots #objectum
