Checks Steam

So it is. My bad. So that means I bought nothing this year. 😅

Richard Dean Anderson? I think he's more of a C4 kind of guy.

IIRC, Caldera also had a Tetris clone in the installer, so you could play while it installed itself.

Give me ssh, vi, bash and Linux kernel and I can get work done.

This lovely Christmas tune by those wonderful lads, Blink-182. Simply delightful.

The only 2025 game I recall buying is Darkenstein 3D. Simple and fun, just the way I like.

What I want: a secure browser that does just that and nothing more.

I'm so sick of AI everything.

You are deluding yourself if you think that books are immune to AI slop.

Enshittification is coming for all things. It'll take a lot of careful human curation to keep finding the value among the deluge of crap.

Today I asked AI to remove all the lines in a file that had some string in them.

It worked. I felt awful thinking how much power I wasted doing that when I could have just read the man page of sed or awk.

I did, and it was ridiculously easy to do what I needed with a fraction of the power. And I got some nice knowledge to go with it, that I proceeded to add to my aliases file.

I'm not afraid of AI. I have a local instance to play with. The technology is just too wasteful and fallible as it stands today.

You can do a lot of things.

Depending on your use case and curiosity you will eventually hit the boundaries of the sandbox, because as you said it is not quite Linux.

I was expecting Comic Sans.

 

A retro shooter inspired by classics like Wolfenstein and Doom. Think of it as a tribute, a love letter to the games that defined a generation, with a few modern touches of my own. It’s tough, fast, and demands skill, just the way those old-school shooters did.

In a project update mail to previous Kickstarter backers, Henrique Olifiers set the date for the third (and likely final) Kickstarter campaign for the ZX Spectrum Next project as July 19th, 2025.

The ZX Spectrum Next issue 3 will have two new cores: a complete Sinclair QL core with support for the SD card, WiFi, joysticks, expansion port, Real Time Clock, 65K colours and dual 68000/68020 CPU running at 44MHz, and a Commodore 64 core with HDMI (with sound) and VGA output, joysticks, cartridge and D64 disk images and tape loading via the audio port.

The announcement has yet to hit the official site, so stay tuned if you missed the previous KS.

I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

 

Hello gentlemen. It seems I've already have this in my collection, so maybe one of you want it?

Steam code. Comment below after you've redeemed it.

 

Attorney general statement confirms searches, arrest of António Costa's chief of staff and reveals that the Supreme Court of Justice will analyze suspicions that Costa intervened to “unblock” the lithium, hydrogen and data center businesses that are being investigated

 

What name have you chosen for your robot and why?

My Roomba is called Ramiro, after my slightly alcoholic uncle.

 

I see the question asked a lot in Linux groups, so I hope this bit of knowledge may help someone here.

 

The Next version of this game is simply stunning, even on my crappy little Blaupunkt TV. Recreated by Matt Davies and Simon Butler from the original Mike Singleton release, it shows just what a brilliant games machine the Next can be.

 

If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.

After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.

Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.

Good times.

 

Good looking mechanical keyboard project for the ZX81 (or the modern equivalent, the ZX81+38), including all the designs and schematics.

 

It always amazes me when people manage to bend Speccy display's limitations and come up with wonderful digital art. I came across Adam's @helpcomputer0@mastodon.art work on Mastodon and it became one of my favourites. Do yourself a favour and have a look.
