I lived on a mixture of Lynx, Links2, and Browsh when I first lived on my own as I couldn’t afford internet so I used a friend’s who lived down the road. As I had to use a huge antenna to get signal, I suffered slow speeds and packet loss so I spent a couple of years in text-based browsers.

I got so used to it, I used Browsh for a while after I got internet access to my rental as I can grown quite attached to a terminal-only system and ditching DEs and WMs.

Run Docker containers on it, one for media server, one for DNS sinkhole etc.

Firefox’s codebase is of the scale of an operating system. I don’t think people realise just how complex web browsers are. If you took the drivers out of the kernel, Firefox dwarfs Linux.

It’s not something someone casually just forks and carries on.

Technically it did have RAM but only 128 bytes used for the call stack but no frame buffer. The cartridges could include more RAM if needed in addition to the ROM.

Yup, a whopping 128 bytes.

The NES had 2KB each for video and working memory, and 256 bytes for sprites.

The MegaDrive had 64KB each for video and working memory and 8KB for audio.

It’s a string, dawg. Just maintain a database of hash and resource location. Lookup hash, return location.

Makes sense; sow further division in the groups who don’t like Trump so there’s less opposition to him.

Which is a fantastic way to get people to care more about politics </s>

Sorry, did you just blame the people who didn’t vote for Trump for being responsible for Trump being president? Interesting mental gymnastics there…

Subset Games rock. Really looking forward to whatever they put out next. It’s been rather quiet from them but they said in an AMA they have several prototypes kicking around. Fingers crossed.

I got an influenza vaccine one time and my foreskin flew right off!

I’m so so so sorry to hear that.

I hope you can find some warmth in knowing, ahead of time, a poem that means a lot to her and that you can hold on to and always remember her by.

My heart goes out to you.

I love the indentations and line breaks of the original when first published:

Do not stand
          By my grave, and weep.
     I am not there,
          I do not sleep—
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
     Do not stand
          By my grave, and cry—
     I am not there,
          I did not die.

— Clare Harner, The Gypsy, December 1934

Apple Maps already shows weather conditions, temperature, and air quality in the bottom right when using the app (might need to check Settings as I don’t know if it’s in by default).

But while driving / with a destination set, the interface is far more minimal to avoid distractions.

You can always say “Hey Siri, what’s the weather like in Cummertrees?” or wherever you’re going.

Yeah an ex Virtuos developer said they had been working on a remake in UE5 for Bethesda. Can’t find the reference but it was a big rumour a while ago.

They need to. Strong rumours that Bethesda has tasked a studio to remake Oblivion in a different engine.

Limestone (thick bastard haha) but the inside is still stud walls, plaster board, etc. Quarry is nearby so it was practically a steal.

My house is made of limestone and is only a few years old…

If true, this whole story is utterly appalling. I feel so bad for the original founder.
