This reminds me of people who used Computer Modern to make it look like they had written their paper using LaTeX to get better marks. It usually worked

Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

If you are a big company there are often ESCROW agreements for things like this. I have encountered the “data dumps” from time to time and whilst it’s “better” it’s not ideal. Half finished documentarian, virtual machines of mis-configured OS installs… it’s almost as if it was just a straight copy of the development environment as it was just as they made the final version of the software…

But it’s better than nothing.

Main issue I can see with this forcing open source would be libraries and frameworks licensed from others who would likely still be in business and wouldn’t agree to those parts becoming open sourced. See also WinAMP https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/16/opensourcing_of_winamp_goes_badly/

Would a Velosaur not be riding a bicycle?

Ah hah hah

Phoenix Wright?

I used Vector Linux 3.2, which was Slackware based, mostly because it was a small(ish) download on my friend’s Cable internet connection. Shortly after I moved to real Slackware. This was probably 2003/4

As I was reading this the title music from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 started playing in my head, and I completely understood what you mean. I then looked up if Jazz was actually an anomaly since Epic are from the US, but no, the main programmer was Dutch, so it fits your description.

And generated a fuck tonne of UV, so….don’t look at it with your remaining eye.

Garmin watches come close?

I’d say that’s a bit late

Kinda surprising nobody thought to make a lightgun version of xkill. At least, a few minutes of searching and I can’t find anything

My hair is thick and waist length. In the summer months I have to have it tied up somehow or I overheat, much to the annoyance of people in my life who like to see it down 😅

I’ve considered trying natural lightening techniques (some people say lemon juice, others in my family with similar hair say it works) to lighten it to reduce the heat. Maybe this year I’ll give it a go.

One other thing I’ll say is that if you’re already hot, adding volume makes it worse as it traps warm air

At this point I think that’s probably a feature

Yeah I take the tips off and only clean those bits. On my earbuds they have a pretty good mesh filter which stops wax etc. getting further into them

I use an ultrasonic cleaner with warm soapy water. Works wonders - they basically look new!

Can it play Doom?

This reads like an AI response to me.

Mac OS has never used X11 as a primary display system. Apple had a version they supplied with older Mac OS X versions for people using older Unix applications (and half-arsed ports) but that’s been unsupported since 2012. You can still install the modern “XQuartz” open source equivalent, but it’s still secondary.

It’s a shame neither compatible controller seem to support iOS gaming mode. I guess a lot of emulators are fine with keyboard emulation but it will lose any analogue possibilities
