I want to like the #fediverse. But the mastodon server I'm on has frequent SSL issues that the people running it seem annoyed to be told about, and when I sign up for other servers to migrate, I get stuck in approval queue hell...

Psygnosis always punched above its weight with over art. These are missing the floppies. They’ll end up as more wall art if I don’t find holes for them. #amiga #retrocomputing #retrogaming

Posting my pickup here today in case anybody’s interested in any of it. It’s mostly Amiga games that are missing the disks so it’s possibly interesting for any completionist collectors on here. Entire tub was $50. First off: these two are definitely becoming wall art. #amiga #retrocomputing #retrogaming

@halva @thomasfuchs I actually found classes I “didn’t need” to be really good at opening my eyes to stuff I’d have never otherwise found interesting but I also deeply sympathize. You’re there to learn CS and may not have the luxury or time to poke around in other things like I did.

@thomasfuchs You’ve not seen my coffee cups

@thomasfuchs Meanwhile it took my parents like fifteen minutes of vigorous work and then they just had to wait about 18 years to get something that pretends to think (but doesn’t) and to deliver bullshit non-deterministic results while using absurd amounts of computational and environmental resources living in their basement.

It’s like Christmas this weekend. Question is - has anyone tried to make it work in OS/2? Cause I’m gonna try! @polpo #retrocomputing #PicoGUS

@kaye I make all my money charging people to sneak into my study and consult my encyclopedia britannica before the knowledge drones can catch us.
