social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

at some point between the xerox alto and the xerox star, this stuff got figured out. by the lisa it was like 80% done, by the mac it was 90% done, and by windows 95 it was 100% done. i feel like the shit i'm seeing on a daily basis is going back to circa 1977 GUI standards at best

Decided to "redesign" the Weasel Center Shelter for Old and Abandoned Computers today. Well, "redesign" is saying a lot there as a word, when what I actually did was swap three background images, reduce the contrast of one of them, and change the font color. But still!

This did also slightly bury the lede of me adding a section to said website to explain (and embed) the Quake Benchmarks spreadsheet.

This is Quake running on CGA. Normally Quake requires VGA (320x200 256 colours), but WinQuake can actually run fine on any card supported by Windows 95.
Now, CGA doesn't support Windows 95. But turns out with a little manual hex editing, it can start with a CGA driver from Windows 3.0 (I believe no one succeeded in doing this before). And with Windows 95 kind of sort of running on CGA, @gloriouscow recommended to try if Quake would run. It does, and it is almost playable. Definitely more playable than Doom8088 on MDA.
gonna start trying signing all of my posts with subliminal messaging to try to bring myself some good luck (hire me)
pretty much all batteries are toast. 26 quid for a full set of replacements. gonna have to wait until i somehow have that money (hire me)

Start considering moving your communities out of Discord now. Don’t wait for the enshittiffication to arrive, the clock is ticking. No one will listen to me, but let’s talk again later. https://www.reuters.com/business/chat-platform-discord-confidentially-file-us-ipo-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-01-06/
