So many good options now: neo6502, AgonLight2, fabgl boards, etc. Nice to see.

After watching this, buying a Selectric won't be high on my list of things to do!

Me too. Great hardware and basic productivity apps.

But the whole systen was even more locked down than Android.

Time for a hard fork.

Hellfire browser, of course!

It's an amazing movie. Well worth watching.

I agree. I really enjoyed watching the Abbotsford playoff games. Mancini and Kudryavtsev both looked great. Lots of depth to tap into on defence.

It would be great if Raty turned out to be the 2C we need, because we're in tough with the OEL cap penalty on the books for the next two years.

I miss the old days of "neighour-net", when everyone around me had wifi and no one had set up a password.

We cancelled this year (for Canadian reasons) and they keep sending us snail mail offers (in the CAD$6/month range). It's amazing how much money they'll spend to try to get you back.

Yeah, that's an issue. There are still several computing-related groups, but everything else is fading away. The only non-computing one I read is misc.news.internet.discuss. The Vancouver Canucks and Montreal Canadiens newsgroups both seem to have died during the past year. The Canadian football group gets the occasional comment. The old alt hierarchies seem slow or crud-infested. But if you want to follow comp.misc or Seamonkey updates, you're in luck.

Is there anything better than DOS jokes???

Better? No, it's still unmoderated. So there's some good stuff and there are twits. It's the wild west out there.

 

I really enjoyed watching this. It has a certain nostalgia-inducing ambience. I found it on Joe Van Cleave's Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/hhJVjI8M12k Joe added some great commentary, so you might want to watch it there instead.

Just stumbled across this in the "popular" feed on Pinboard. https://pinboard.in/popular/

I thought it might be of interest to people here.

I mentioned a list of Canadian retailers that I started in a thread about avoiding Amazon (https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/32698876) and otter@lemmy.ca suggested that I post it here. So here it is:

If you're not on Github and you want to make an addition, pm me with the store name and a link. :)

 

It's in the 8th period. Toronto Metropolitan University vs. Mount Royal.
