Seeing the furries moving their IMs to a different IM thing and I'm at once nostalgic for Trillian over dial-up and also quietly astonished that we still basically need Trillian, the basic problem of instant messaging being that all your friends are on different services is still the same problem here in 2024
can you help me find an #amiga #ftp client and #tcp #bbs 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 #amiga system without talking to other #users i find, and often when i try i get a worse welcome than the #linux community telling me to just #look it up, please #prove me wrong
@lunarloony used to have a running joke at one of my discords about that - every time someone asks why the pride flag is still up, the pride flag stays up another month. β
Update: It turns out that the interference from a nearby tesla coil is capable of registering keypresses on its own. #speczilla #emfcamp #chuntey

@PlayHistory It's quite interesting how *wildly different* these editions are from the original games, too! I've never played CivNet, but Sole Survivor _almost_ resembles a modern Battle Royale game, in which each player controls one unit that can upgrade into progressively bigger units, and SimCity 2000 NE introduces a whole mechanic requiring each player in a game session to buy parcels of land on the map before they can build on it, and the land can change hands later on as I recall.
Alright, yeah. The future is absolutely going to be horrible.
I cannot launch this game, that I have previously played on this console, THAT IS ON A DISC, because I'm not signed in.

A gentleman named Paul Khoury approached me about getting a retro computer he'd acquired up and running. The computer is a Sun SPARCstation UPN (1997), a prototype for a super small desktop computer that preceded the Mac mini by about 6-7 years. Only about 20 were ever made. I was the designer on the project and had poured my soul into it, so I was proud to help him get it running. I dug out the schematics from storage and gave any advice I could remember and he got it powered on in a few days.
