people who don't know me are way too quick to demonize and proselytise about the dangers of "putting a windows xp computer on the internet"

i've been kicked out of so many communities for hearsay of things i either genuinely didn't do or was never given a chance to know about to even reflect upon and that probably explains why i'm so scared of joining anyone else's community rather than try and make everything from scratch myself

dear USAian trans bragging to me how health insurance paid your SRS: congratulations on the last message i'll ever see from you

I bought my first Apricot PC about three years ago, when I realised I wanted an 8086-based computer. At the time, I knew nothing about it and simply bought it because it looked rad and the price was low. I had no idea that it was not IBM PC-compatible, and that there were very few programs available for it.

I have been on a quest to get a modern-ish word processor and spreadsheet program for it ever since. Which eventually made me "port" Windows 2 on it. In this post, I share the story of the port.

Someone on Bluesky was daring people to "name 50 good indie games you bought that came out this year" - well, I can't afford new games, so instead, here's 50 good (and slightly less good) games I played this year regardless of when they came out.

PSA:
“if it was important, you would have remembered it.” And “if you cared, you would have remembered.“

Neither of these claims have any basis in reality. Importance, and caring have no correlation to whether a memory is formed.

These sentences only serve to gaslight people about a chemical, process that they cannot control.

Please spread this knowledge.

Please stop gaslighting people with memory issues.
