I’m so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

Man, I miss the golden age of point-and-click adventure games. My brothers and I played through so many together. PC Speaker version of the MI1 soundtrack for maximum nostalgia: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=_cfPw3IL1sk
We had Shufflepuck Cafe on our Macintosh Plus. Loved that game, but also infuriating
Was pong on the Telstar, along with Tennis and i think two more similar super basic games? That’s what we had
Holy smokes, I forgot all about that thing! Seeing a picture of it brought out some ancient archived memories
I loved this game! I’d send swarms of armored cars against my brother.
The picture looks like two mildly offended Decepticons
Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.
Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.
Every time I see the little “new content” blip next to someone I’ve subscribed to and it ends up being a short, I feel cheated.
I’m still on my Blizzard boycott that started with the Blitzchung thing. Family and friends have tried to get me to drop it to play with them a few times, but a boycott doesn’t seem like it has much purpose (or effect) if you just drop it after a while when nothing has changed.
I’m always glad when I see someone recommend Night in the Woods. It took me to a place no other game has.
Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I’m actually going to get the thing done.
This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because “Python is just for scripting.”
Relatively recent arrival to Reddit, but this was the nudge I needed to really start diving into the Fediverse (via Lemmy). It’s been a ton of fun.
I don’t see them natively on the play store or F-Droid, but you can install them through Termux (handy terminal environment for android). You’ll probably need to install openssl first. In termux, type
pkg install openssl
and accept any defaults. After that’s done, do
pkg install lynx
(or links, or w3m - I like them better than Lynx, but it’s fun to try them all)
and just fire it up by typing lynx
once it’s finished installing. I enjoy seeing which sites work in text-only mode and which don’t. The number is steadily decreasing, as you might imagine.
Lynx is a text-based browser typically used from the terminal. I prefer the Links browser myself (another text-based one) but they’re both great for simple web browsing and avoiding all the distracting images and javascript nonsense. Also a great way to test how accessible a site is to the visually impaired who use screen readers.
Right, I was actually hoping it would go through so I could potentially lift my boycott of ActiBlizz that I started during the Blitzchung incident and only solidified as more information came out about the horrible things going on at Blizzard with some of their employees. Weirdly enough, I really want to play Heroes of the Storm again.
This was literally my first thought on seeing this
