Through some hex-editing I've at least learned that the Clip Art collection seems to be in some version of Adobe Illustrator (hence my installing CS2 to attempt to force-feed it those files), and the sounds are allegedly uncompressed, but I'm unable to get anything to load even with that knowledge. I think these are in container formats that the CD Browser would know how to work with. If only the Browser didn't crash all the time.
update: the programs work, the files i was trying to open do not.

this collection of 100-some CDs (and a further 140 not yet dumped, apparently?!) is what i was targeting - the discs are meant for a Macintosh (since that's what the 3DO development toolkit ran on!), but beyond getting the CD Browser and Text Index to start (and then crash when I search for anything!), I can't figure out how to browse it at all.
I do not know what it is specifically, whether CPU, hard drive, or format limitations, but StuffIt archives are the most miserably slow archive format I've ever extracted.
And I used to extract those "50 Rar files in a trench coat" archives from BitTorrents of PC games, like, 20 years ago.
Presently downloading and installing Adobe Creative Suite 2 on this 2004 iBook G4. For reasons.
It has taken multiple hours.

A friend of mine lives in NZ and saw this poster, I mean teens can be picky but this is probably going a bit far

I've been down a rabbit hole the last couple of weeks with Apple's ancient Font Editor 2.0 (1984), the first font editor I ever used on a Mac. This is the pre-PostScript era of bitmap fonts like Chicago, Geneva, and New York. I wound up making a user guide and a video demo, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/rOwzfaTU0XA?si=QDwZDFvE8pl9-9Kq

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

A friend just pointed out:
"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."
Let’s do this.
