Continuing to enjoy the slow crumbling of things that used to work into a heap of brokenness on GitHub. This has been happening on my phone recently.

wow

@nikitonsky this is hilarious 😆

@mntmn There is https://mace.home.blog/ that is like WINE for classic Mac OS apps. It lets them run "natively" on modern macOS by implementing the ROM traps.

Love it when a near complete project just appears out of nowhere.

"Brimstone is a JavaScript engine written from scratch in Rust, aiming to have full support for the JavaScript language.

Brimstone is a work in progress but already supports almost all of the JavaScript language (>97% of the ECMAScript language in test262). Not ready for use in production."

End of an era.

The code wasn't building on modern systems for multiple reasons, so I replaced it with a static archive.

Switched from the default Google Android launcher to the open-source Fossify Launcher on my phone. The best part might be removing the Google search bar that is forced upon you in the default launcher. So far everything else seems to work pretty much the same.

Aside: I miss when app icons were detailed, different colours, and round rects. Most of these are so flat and bland.

I ran into a wary Kookaburra today.

@ctietze @marioguzman here you go. The input latency is quite high, even with the emulation speed turned up. Not sure what is responsible for that.

Oh no, I've just seen a software project that is using the season in their **version** number. 😠

I may need a Playdate just for this https://play.date/games/capy-spa/

oof Mastodon transcoded the crisp 841 KB GIF I uploaded into a 766 KB MP4 and it looks a lot worse.

This UI is a masterpiece. (see alt text for more details)

This is glorious on multiple levels: https://macthemes.garden/

Not least because @eramdam manually generated new screenshots for ~~all 4000~~ many of the themes.
