As someone who once wrote a System 7 INIT extension to make his Colour Classic think it had a bigger screen so it would run Marathon*, I have so much love for people who hack hardware to run software it was never designed for.

  • It technically worked, but half of the game was drawn on top of itself.

@splorp Alas, all my old code is lost to the sands of time. Probably for the best, honestly.

    TFW you realise you're older than Voyager 1, but haven't gone anywhere near as far in life.

    The Voyager 1 resurrection is just remarkable. I keep thinking about how they did an OTA update across 15 billion miles. I won’t complain about bad WiFi when downloading content again.

    @kevbob Yeah, that bit especially blows my mind.

    A thing I really like about fedi culture as it exists in my little corner is that it’s possible to think out loud about things I’m really unsure about without getting immediately socially disciplined by people who read earnest blather as a tryout for Media Thinker jobs.

    @kissane How are you picking where to post stuff? I will occasionally dip into Bluesky, but I almost never post.

    @kissane That seems like so much work!

    1966 Ford Ranchero. If you think you need a bigger truck than this, you’re wrong.

    Vintage white Ford Ranchero parked in a lot with other vehicles and trees in the background.

    @kevbob Part of my wiring means I have dyscalculia, so I'll never be the one to help the kids with maths.

    @kevbob It's like numbers fall out of my head. You know those kid apps where adults have to do maths to get into it? I almost always fail.

    @kevbob I never watch TV, but it sounds so good and so close to the game that I'm tempted.

    Pity it's on Prime, though, so won't happen.

    actual pre-internet conversation I had probably around 1995:

    him: what are you listening to?!

    me: Social D, they fuckin rock

    him: no, I mean, what the hell are they singing?

    me: Ring of Fire, one of their best

    him: are you serious right now? That's not their song

    me: Sure it is! It's a Social Distortion classic!

    him: it's a Johnny Cash song, you numbskull!

    me: whaaaat-ever

    @lzg I remember people in SF telling me Australian web devs were in demand because our internet connections were so, so garbage we had to learn to work around it.

    Convinced the kids to watch The Muppet Show from the very, very beginning (1976) - it's got smoking, a glee club, and the guest star was Juliet Prowse, a dancer born in 1936!
