TV series, like the company, is Swedish, so probably that language.

I really enjoyed that Activision "shovelware" cd. For a time it made up a large part of my (Linux) game collection. It is not leaving my collection.

I try to get as many (mostly older, 2D) Windows games as possible to run in QEMU (VirtualBox in the past). Not many work, but those that do just keep working and I expect they will just always work ("always" relative to my lifetim

The a500mini plays those from USB drives. Seems to work well, but I mostly use mine to play Kick Off 2, so have not explored other features much.

DOSBox-X is a port that is actively developed and has many features missing in vanilla DOSBox. There are a few other ones as well. DOSBox Staging is one. Magic DOSBox seems to be the most popular on Android. There is some iOS port as well.

They are not supposed to do that, but some clients have an option to enable it anyway. There are also clients that make a second request to ask for a favicon. In the spirit of the protocol the "icon" is just a UTF-8 symbol, but th

There are Gemini clients that can inline images, so visitors to a site could decide to enable that if they wanted to see for instance a list of thumbnails.

I have had very bad success rate with my old Windows CDROM/DVD era games. Pretty much all of them either have some kind of DRM or they run but with bugs. When available I just buy the GOG versions instead, but even those versions sadly

When the first version came out, around the time I got my first job, it felt like everyone around me had read this book, and for a long time we were throwing around quotes from this book. Sadly after a few years it felt like the only thing

Yes. The main reason I do not want to take notes on paper is the lack of instant backup and sync. These devices seem to have the same drawback. Maybe you could have networking enabled, but only in the background and without any software at

If it was maintained (security fixes and platform support only), but with no other changes, it would be a very tempting alternative to python3 for the many times API stability is valuable.

It would be sad if, after all those years, it was still missing anything significant. Maintenance mode sounds like a good thing, not something that makes me tempted to switch to some less stable alternative.

QEMU does a pretty good job at pretending to be a 1997 computer, or a 2025 computer, and it seems to work well to run QEMU inside of QEMU already, so should be somewhat likely that old virtual machines can be kept alive by running inside of

I use it on my Android phone. Is there a better FOSS media player (or better any media player?). VLC also still (or at least recently?) provides APKs you can download to install on very old Android versions. I have it installed on a few old

That was not what I tried to say. Brogue, like other similar games, can be played in a TUI mode, in the terminal, or with a GUI. Same game, just different UI implementations, and both tend to be about equally laggy, or usually the GUI versi

In a game design context, he is definitely using "uncertainty" in a wider sense, as popularized by Greg Costikyan's Uncertainty in Games book. In that sense of the word, it's not only about random things, but also thin

160x100 CGA low resolution could do 16 color (bit of a hack, but semi-official). And then there were tricks to get more colors in higher resolutions as well, especially if you used the TV output instead of a CGA monitor. https://

I do not use an ad-blocker, but NoScript blocks 99.999% or so of ads anyway, so my guess is you will rarely see any ads in Dillo either.

MariaDB from 2009, based on MySQL from 1995. PostgreSQL from 1996, based on Postgres95 from 1995, based on POSTGRES from 1989, based on INGRES from 1974(?). I wonder if any lines of 1970's or at least 1980's code still survive in

No, the alternative is/was something like "make test" or "build_deploy_and_test.sh".

I just started it up and it turned out to be Dillo 3.0 from 2011. I do not know if it was using FLTK back then, but a quick search says that FLTK has been ported to DOS so that might not be an obstacle for the current developers to keep Fre

That is not unique to TUIs, but also possible in GUIs where the developers care, and in some games (try the GUI ("tiles") version of Brogue). You can definitely make a GUI that updates in an instant and be fully keyboard-driven, e

One thing that bothers me about extreme bloat is that I do not want every app to push against the limit of what my computer can handle. It's fine if some game or compiler or such complex software do that every now and then. A common pr
