   The truth is, I’m afraid, that GNUstep is the very last bit of “modern” computing that holds even a little interest for me. Nothing new excites me anymore. It’s all the same shit, a little faster or a little cheaper or running a shinier, slower OS. I want to do what I can to make GNUstep better, and I will do, but the only passion I have left for computers is for ancient hardware and new stuff inspired by it.

     @mos_8502 what I once needed was a headless (non video) sbc, maybe with a default serial console, too.

     RISC-V could be interesting, if I could buy a bare CPU I could run at 3.3V and build a system around without going mental. But honestly, who needs yet another Raspberry Pi but with less software?

     I have reached a point where I’m happier typing away in Turbo Pascal 3 on a CP/M machine than I am using a system literally thousands of times more powerful. I’d rather play with a C64 than a PS5, and I wouldn’t trade my ZX Spectrum Next for a fully maxed out Mac Pro.

     @mos_8502 to at least some degree I do feel the same. BSD in general was what inspired me, and yet 6502 assembly was what I once did best and enjoyed most.
