btw, I just want to note for other indies who do cons that the way this went down is that I walked by the table at the con, was too busy to stop, saw a giant "play the demo on steam" QR code and used it to add the demo to my steam library then walked on & played the demo 3 weeks later in my own time.

that QR code made the difference between someone passing by and an evangelist is what i'm saying

finally got around to playing the demo of Ambrosia Sky today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

netizen.club/~wildweasel/updat - A golf game better than the Legend itself?! Reviewers from 1987 seemed to think so, in a manner of speaking; observations at hand in this month's Golfshrine Acquisitions Update.

I don’t use this often, but when I do, I love it. PB Swiss “coin driver” it’s a dedicated tools for things that are designed to be opened with a coin (like a quarter) which no one has in their pockets anymore and sucked at providing torque anyway.

Some might call this ridiculous or overkill. To those people I say: yes and I love it.

[Boosts appreciated] Statement on Frameworks sponsoring of certain FOSS maintainers/projects 

I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.

Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.

Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".

I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.

Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.

Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.

The Turbo Duo is such a classy console design - I ended up selling mine, but I still adore the look of all of the Duo systems <3

I'm feeling poorly today, and that sucks. But also I figured out how to fully configure the MGR windowing system, so that's something (it's Linux and it's not X!). I'll record a video tour and take a bunch of screenshots a bit later.

Funny that MGR is a thing that is mostly not on the internet despite many people using it back in the days.

And yes, this is Ghostscript opening a PS file.

Rocknix is a linux distro that targets 'retro handhelds' like Retroid and Anbernic. Those devices normally run Android, which is currently in full fuck-you mode, so if I were to buy a retro handheld I would be running Rocknix on it instead.

However, bad news: I asked in the Rocknix discord if i can count on them to take an anti-fascist stance, and their response was, in a word, "no".

Specifically, I asked if they were centrist, they gave me a "no politics" warning, which is a pretty clear answer to that.

If anyone else on the team wants to correct me, I'll gladly edit this post.

if you want to express your displeasure with framework knowingly sponsoring fascists, don't bother @-ing their Mastodon account (they won't read it)

email them or post on their forums instead:

if you've bought a framework laptop in the past, give them your order number so they know you're not just talking shit, let them know they're going to be losing out on customers because of this shit decision

I figured out how to make the client-side library work. The MGR client-server architecture is really clever, it really is graphical terminal emulator. Wowsers.
