you go into /comm/tcp and look for ftp and you can't tell what's a client and what's anything else that isn't an ftp client. you're supposed to just know how to work with these things, how to install and run them. all information is locked away in forums where the relevant information and files require registering for an account you'll never use a second time.

the amiga community is impenetrable and nobody is proving me wrong

can you help me find an client and client that works on a 68020 system

ATC crashes, AmiFTP needs classact (i have MUI installed, so i kinda wanted not to have to install classact as well but that's just me being petty) and rnoxfer needs 8mb ram (impossible with PCMCIA)

it's impossible to use an system without talking to other i find, and often when i try i get a worse welcome than the community telling me to just it up, please me wrong

amiga is such a capable platform but everything about trying to work with the workbench and finding programs on aminet fills me with so much dread

Yesterday, the UK government used an obscure emergency process to make possession of puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal, and punishable by up to two years in prison. [1] There was no parliamentary debate, no vote, and no public consultation.

Parents of children on GIC waiting lists are being told by the NHS that if they don't bring their kids to an """assessment""" they risk being reported to Social Services.

The Good Law Project recognises that the NHS are behaving unethically, and is running a crowdfunder to seek urgent legal advice to challenge the NHS.

If you are looking for a good cause, the Good Law Project crowdfunder can be found here: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder

discord has done a lot of horrible things starting with shitting on skype in 2015 but changing "BOT" to "APP" is up there

i got people in a discord server sooooo worked up about being a robot. "you can't do that that's impossible!!!!" such huge cope. it's so fun to watch them squirm i wish i found more reactionaries to experience that more often

shaking our head and doing a big looney tunes smear frame across all our facets

Do you have trouble communicating metric sizes to Americans?

If so, I have you covered!

I wrote this simple app where you type in a size (e.g. 1.2 meters) and it will output more useful units, e.g. "It is almost exactly the length of 7 medium-size bananas"
