I was Today Many Years Old when I learned that typing Option-Space with a file selected in finder did a full screen preview, not just a preview (like Space does).

An excellent indie ( Thanks @jake4480 ) that runs on current machines (Windows, Linux, MacOS, & HTML5). Frankly, very good! Good surprise! I would have liked it to be compatible with older machines, but no. Two quality PDF manuals. On my list of favorite Roguelikes! If you like this kind of game: recommended! :0)

The first part..

I wish there was a portable, usb-run version of #Asahi #Linux for Silicon Macs. More people would try it out and actually use it that way, if it was easy and risk-free to their #MacOS partition. The current way to do that is two whole pages of arcane commands on a terminal. It needs automation.

A Windows user, a Mac user, and a Linux user walk into a bar.

➡️ The user orders a beer and gets into a fight over how bloated the selection is.

➡️ The user orders the most expensive single-origin craft cocktail and smugly admires its minimalist design.

➡️ The user installs a whole brewery in the corner and declares free drinks for everyone, but then spends the rest of the night explaining why their homemade brew is objectively superior.

I decided to try out Reeder 5 after years of NetNewsWire. I’ve been curious to try a new rss reader.

I’m looking to start fresh with a good opml rss file. I’m looking for mostly tech news and personal blogs.

Anyone have a great file to share?

Decided I should install on my laptop and then failed.

Something like this:

  1. Work out what distro of Linux I should install? Idk. Maybe @Solus? 🤷

  2. Work out what the differences are between Budgie, GNOME, Plasma, or XKGB versions? Idk. Probably Budgie? 🤷

  3. Download via torrent 😎

  4. Spend 15 mins trying to work out what the app for making disk images is called. Etcher? Got it.

  5. Realise I don't have a USB flash drive in the house. Or a blank DVD. Or an SD card reader.

🤷

It's 2024. Surely there should be a or app like Etcher that partitions 5GB of your existing hard drive off and then downloads and installs the distro disk image of your choosing as a bootable thing and then asks if you want to restart your computer (and reminds you to press F2 or whatever crap you need to press on a Mac to boot from your shiny new 5GB wasteland)

Wow, I have to admit I want this!

DirtyDean, to commodore64

Love the look of this Commodore 64 inspired keyboard. The only gripe I have? There are no PETSCII characters on the keys.

@DirtyDean @retrogaming_bot It’s just a new colorway of #8BitDo’s #NES / #Famicom inspired “Retro Mechanical Keyboard,” plus a joystick: https://www.8bitdo.com/retro-mechanical-keyboard/

The Fami Edition has Japanese glyphs next to Latin, so the omission of PETSCII graphic glyphs on the #C64 Edition is just lazy. So is the “Win” key without a #Commodore logo.

I’d need a #Mac version of the software along with Fn, Command ⌘, Option ⌥︎, and Return key caps to consider it anyway.

"Infinite Mac" is a project by Mihai Parparita to make classic Mac and NeXT emulation easily accessible.

Enjoy the nostalgia by playing old games like Doom, SimCity2000, and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness.

What a beautiful app Lunar is:

It allows you to sync brightness of your external monitor with your internal one, or sync to day/night cycle, or control brightness, contrast and volume levels manually.

"Sources: iOS 18 Lets Users Customize Layout of Home Screen App Icons"

Interesting to me that Apple allows me to make a big old mess of my Mac desktop, but they will NOT allow my iPhone Home Screen to be anything but regimented, icons all in line.

My Mac lets me download apps from the wild. Not my iPhone.

Why this difference? 🤔

There's no one near interested in trading a working Apple CRT monitor in original box for a working Commodore monitor or 13" Sony Trinitron or comparable color CRT with RCA and coax, by chance is there? It's a Mac-2 era with two row DB-15 input.

The status bar in @Vivaldi is a treasure trove. Here are a few things you should have a look at!

  1. The page capture function is very useful. You can capture any part of Vivaldi or you can capture the whole page. I use this a lot.

  2. The image and animation toggle allows you to turn off image loading and reduce animations.

  3. The page tiling button is for tiling pages. The easiest is to start with a tab stack and then tile it.

  4. The page actions button lists a set of page actions you can use to change how the page looks. Examples include various filters and transformations.

  5. The zoom function is easily accessible in Vivaldi and unlike other browsers, we zoom the current tab by default, instead of the domain, meaning it is easy to change the zoom on all pages in a tab for a while.

  6. The clock is useful for seeing the time, but it also has a nice timer.

This is all in the right corner. In the left corner you find the pause button...

If you run into a "EACCES: permission denied" issue with , try clearing your cache. This article saved the day for me, as I'm not a terminal wizard and rather deal with something else:

"The M3 ‌MacBook Air‌ is more machine than the average consumer likely even needs"

High praise. I like the sweet spot between the Air and the MacBook Pro.

Only reason to buy the Pro is if you've got a specific workflow that demands it.

I still like 16GB of RAM for future proofing, but not against 8GB to keep the price down.
