Ah yes, the situation every OS developer fears: Microsoft taking your MIT-licensed software and... completely abandoning their massive OS that underwent decades of refinement to rebrand your little hobby OS as their own news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4538...

maybe they're depressed because you're calling them a dummy

I got my VCFMW stickers from makestickers.com and really liked them. And for Chicago people, they're in Tinley Park so they arrived very fast.

macOS Tahoe is ugly but it does have one redeeming new feature: when FileVault is enabled, the pre-boot environment now has an SSH server running so you can SSH in and it will unlock the disk to continue booting

What are some other apps you're still using after 13 years?

Aside from a boxed copy of @ericsedge.com's game, the only thing I bought at #VCFMW was this mouse cover mouse crocheted by a nice lady She was excited to inform me that next year they will have little pink noses

Nice to meetcha.

I am at VCFMW, stop by and say hi

Are drafts on Truth Social called half-truths?

Today's breakfast ransom note

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

My Prusa MK4 came with a normal size bag of Haribos, the Prusa XL came with a "party size" bag, now I need to know if the Prusa Mini comes with a small bag

To all Macintosh Pluses, just know you are beautiful just the way you are and you shouldn't feel pressured to conform to society's unrealistic expectations of speed and performance

Turns out Google made up an elaborate story about me uploading a controversial video about "my trip to Israel" where I learned how wrong I was about the conflict. I've never been to Israel in my life. Gemini confidently confused me with a Newsmax commentator who uploads military videos.

This is some of the hardest shit I've seen in my life

School's out, you walk home to an empty house, go to the room with the family computer, turn on the computer & monitor, wait for Windows to boot up, open AOL, click Sign On, wait for the modem to dial and connect, and hear "welcome", now which button are you clicking (or keyword are you typing in)?

Lots of floppy disk writing going on today

Last week, ScummVM announced that they’ve started testing their World Builder engine, with support for hundreds of old Mac adventure games. Here’s why I’m excited about it, and why you should be too! robotspacer.tv/news/scummvm...

DOOM on the ANKER Prime Charging station😅 The internal SWM34S MCU is just way too nice! 8MB RAM + 16MB Flash directly mapped to memory goes brrrr Video on Youtube: youtu.be/MdOU8SqCqeY

I'm going to make a browser plugin that analyzes the closed caption transcripts of @adriansdigitalbasement.com's videos to find him saying "un-freaking-believable" so I can jump right to the money shot of discovering what the weird problem ends up being, before going back to watch the whole thing

A short update about VCFMW and CMaster jcs.org/2025/08/15/c...

In the way BlueSCSI rescues old computers with failed hard drives, I wish there were a universal thing that could save old laptops by replacing their screens with modern ones that are more power efficient with better backlighting. Like RGBtoHDMI but with LVDS and whatever laptops used before that.

Are chatbot companies taking advertising dollars yet to make their LLMs subtly suggest certain products or services? Seems like compared to ads on a Google web search, it would be much harder to detect (and block) an influenced recommendation vs. a "natural" one.

Total Control servers are rad I was using one with an 8-port ATA for my BBS (that never got more than one concurrent phone call)

guys you could just download it for free

"Whoa, Git is 20 years old!" "CVS is 34 🙃"

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today. aresluna.org/the-hardest-...

This filament-matching website and a Nix Mini 3 are a great combo for finding PLA that closely matches random things around you (my Mac Plus is \#bdb392) filamentcolors.xyz/colormatch/

This thread is incredible.

My favorite "classic" cars of the show

"Since there was no immediate change to the production network there was no end-user impact, and because there was no impact, no alerts were fired." They really have no external monitoring on public services like 1.1.1.1?

Huzzah! All tested and working! 🥳 I'm going to have a bit of a sit down, then take some more pics. ☺️
