that said i have grown to really really dislike actionretro. The editing style got worse, so much feels like
just shallow usage of the machines
The jokes don't land for me. Sad about it.

Sean from Action Retro (@actionretro.bsky.social) has a channel where he tortures mostly Macs, but all kinds of computers. In a hilarious and good way of course! Channel: youtube.com/@actionretro... 6/10

This is the face of sweet success - @actionretro.bsky.social up to shenanigans at the DosDude1 exhibit. It was probably one of the most unique interactive exhibits I've seen there. I won't say more because I'm guessing ActionRetro will have plenty to say about it himself. :)

Linux on the PS2.
The desktop defaults to the WindowMaker window manager. I think that's fitting since the design of the PS2 does have quite a NeXT-esque aesthetic, if you squint just right.

The classic Mastodon response to any tech troubles is to say "install Linux".
But sometimes, Linux isn't the best answer.

Ha! I still have my older, bigger Vaio from 2004 (with a normal keyboard and tower, thank goodness). The TV feature was kinda pixelated, but a solid workaround as college student coming from out of state with too much crap and no room for a separate TV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ah1D...

People said it couldn't game as there is no graphics DMA and the stock framebuffer is too slow. Well, today I finally implemented VDMA FB on the WM8505! And it sure as hell can game now!
