🧵Thread. I collect photos that people took of their TV screens (in the days before home video) because they wanted to capture a historical moment, or at least something of personal significance.

New on the Secret Area, it's Cold Fear.

A Resident Evil-inspired survival horror game made by the folks who made Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare. And it's surprisingly alright!

Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

Here are my current set-on-install about:config options for Firefox, as well as going through Settings and turning off anything related to telemetry, "studies", or a Mozilla product.

The part that took me the most time was writing a decoder for a video from 1991. The video is a demo of the $HOME MOVIE system, 1152 x 900 with voice and music. HD video from 1991, folks!

I made a tour of an obscure window system called Bellcore MGR, made by the Bell Core Research and bearing a strong resemblance to Plan 9's 8.5.

The tour also comes with a short overview of the $HOME MOVIE film authoring tool from 1990. There are many screenshots, a 40-minute long video with Mozart and Liszt, and a hard disk image for 86box.

botsin.space shut down and took the Winamp Skins bot with it. Can anyone point me to a good instance for running such a bot? I think it's time to bring the bot back.
