It’s the Lilac color scheme that really makes it - we had that on my family’s first PC and classic Win UIs don’t look quite right to me without it.

Gopher.

He wasn’t imprisoned for 30+ years. He got 7 years and was out after 5. He was, in his own words, ‘locked up in [his mind]’ for 30+ years.

if it’s worth 2100 miles and a border crossing to you, you can have it, haha

Referring more to the people talking about how it’s such a good deal. I think $10 is pretty close to what it cost to buy from the shuttered Blockbuster a decade ago, haha.

Wait are these worth something? I have one of these I have been wanting to throw away.

Warzone 2100. 3D RTS from the late 90s that was open-sourced after the studio went belly-up. Fantastic game, runs on even ancient hardware.

Edit to add: Forgot to mention it is still receiving updates!

Oh hey, we got the old.lemmy front-end. What are the chances of a lemmyBB front-end, then?

My old house from the early sixties has electric radiant heat in the ceilings as the sole heating source, a large sun room running the length of the house, and almost no insulation to speak of. I’m in Ohio.

Incidentally, when we moved in, the inside doors of the cabinetry were all wallpapered in newspaper clippings about the 1970s energy crisis. I can’t imagine why!

I’d rather see a lemmyBB (phpBB-style) front-end, myself

Genuinely I’d trust random FOSS stranger on the internet before I’d trust Google, Samsung, Apple, etc. It’d be a lot of work to be the sole maintainer of a LineageOS distro that only functions on one specific phone just to try to steal the data of the maybe 12 people who are going to install it.

I had the same thing happen a couple days ago, trying to upload an image to lemmy.ca from this account.

I think, especially as you get towards “newer” vintage systems, the logical conclusion is the same one he reached - if you want a compact portable and you’re okay spending a couple hundred dollars, you’re probably going to be better off buying something from the time period than anything new that may be sold at that price point.
