The Superior Lemmy Experience
  • 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.

  • What are you playing this week?
  • Had to hit pause on it this week, but recently I have been working through Final Fantasy IX, the PC remaster on Steam w/ Moguri Mod. Started my playthrough in early September, and I just got the boat and entered the grindy minigame hell portion of the game.

  • Two men exonerated after 30 years in prison by retrocomputing enthusiasts and the Bloop Museum, by extracting data from a damaged floppy disc.
  • 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.

  • Blockbuster Gumball Machine $10 at neighbor's garage sale
  • if it's worth 2100 miles and a border crossing to you, you can have it, haha

  • Blockbuster Gumball Machine $10 at neighbor's garage sale
  • 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.

  • Blockbuster Gumball Machine $10 at neighbor's garage sale
  • Wait are these worth something? I have one of these I have been wanting to throw away.

  • What are your favourite open source games?
  • 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!

  • Is there any interest in SDF hosting an "old.lemmy.sdf.org" MLMYM Lemmy front-end
  • Oh hey, we got the old.lemmy front-end. What are the chances of a lemmyBB front-end, then?

  • Does anybody else have an old house?
  • 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!

  • Is there any interest in SDF hosting an "old.lemmy.sdf.org" MLMYM Lemmy front-end
  • I'd rather see a lemmyBB (phpBB-style) front-end, myself

  • Android custom rom security/privacy/trust
  • 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.

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