@mario aha! I rent so did not know about that, the trivet was just here 🙄

@mario wait… zoom… enhance… pan right… etc

I have the exact same trivet!

@catsalad

@thomasfuchs sorry to hear this, it must be horrendous, you did a good thing though I guess

@catsalad @scottwilson

@catsalad I will never not read it as Top Of The Pops

@thomasfuchs @foone Amstrad and Schneider definitely shared some DNA somehow IIRC

@thomasfuchs @foone I remember those! Wasn’t it the Amstrad 6128’s weird cousin or something?

@thomasfuchs beautiful

@skeletor calm down

@thomasfuchs @mhkohne you’re absolutely right, but devs *do* wake up to find an app they haven’t touched in years suddenly doesn’t work any more because the OS or hosting environment pulled some rug from underneath their feet.

@thomasfuchs @mhkohne the browser yeah, but the back end?

@thomasfuchs Show me an app built more than a few years ago that still launches.

Scriptaulous helped me move from compiled native apps and launch my 20y webdev career (thanks btw ❤️) and those apps were solid as a rock for years.

But I doubt if I spun up the exact same LAMP stack now there’d be a quagmire of deprecations to wade through.

Ok ok, the software’s fine, I concede your point. But the environment is hostile.

@thomasfuchs this is so wrong Thomas 🙄

@garbados wait, rewind just a little bit there… is it your birthday breadlady?

@garbados

@GossiTheDog kids these days 🙄

Just stay away from my bins!

@thomasfuchs I’m intrigued to see what improved skills can do with the same data!
