Executor from autc04 was fine until I tried to open Nethack 3.6.7 for m68k Macs. It crashed, but it was a fun exercise. AMS might work better, but it's a pain to setup.

Here in Spain a few years ago some ISP's just put a data cap about 2.7KBPS (2-3G?) and call it a day. Enough for text sites, messages and the like. But if you were smart (mosh, NNTP)... you could connect to some public Unix servers and

I'd perfectly live with a forever free connection with about 16/32 KBPS. It can do lots of stuff in text mode. Not for video or big files, but enough to fill some pages. That would mean accesible web pages, and forget about JS b

You can just use SweetHome3D (GPL too) and call it a day. No need to mess with models, everything can be set and adjusted. Just design in a plane, set heights/widths for forniture, walls and the like, set a final render settings (hour

Goose/ Snakes and Ladders can be played with no human players at all. There is no interaction, just randomness.

No, that's false. There are tons of microcontroller CPUs not found on computers or hobbyist ARM boards.

That's the same as Executor, or some similar project with GNU/Linux with was exactly what Mace does with a free license. https://www.v68k.org/advanced-mac-substitute/ What I would like to see it's the f

Not OSX, but I'd love what Aros m68k is doing with the Amiga but for Mac OS System7. Yes, I know about Ardi Executor being libre and enhanced now, but that's not the point. I'd love to spawn MiniVMAC with a free system ROM re

That's what happens with propietary software. No sane person -for work if your dumb $BOSS makes in mandatory- should be using that outside of a Guix/Nix env with really constrained settings. At home I have no propietary software a

People used to play board games to gamble/predict, for sure; but they also liked a moneyless/careless play.

Nethack/Slashem too in case of Roguelikes. Nethack adds tons of Terry Pratchett references as and homage and it's cool but Slashem has tons of weapons, classes, objects, environments... And supertux2 has both the main campaingn a

Well: - Supertux2, it got recently revamped, the quality skyrocketed. Much better controls and artwork. - Supetux Advance, this is really great too. - Retux (More Wariolike than Mario) - Nethack/Slashem. A Roguelike more bound to inter

I know C++ it's far more performant than Go but for some games and software C++ wouldn't be needed at all, such as nchat with tdlib (the library should be a Go native one by itself, is not rocket science). These could be working c

My point was about performance. Yes, Basic vs Forth was the worst choice back in the day, and you could say low level stuff was done under assembler. Fine. But the correct choice for 'low level' stuff it's C++ and I state tha

Mono supported WinForms. But IDK how did they integrate it with the CIL. But for sure they used WineLib.

They were different but both came in-ROM and with similar storage options (cassette/floppy). On Pascal, Delphi was used for tons of RAD software in the 90's, both for the enterprise and for home users with zillions of shareware (a

Compare Limbo+Tk under Inferno with current C#/Java. Or C++ against Plan9C. We have impressive CPU's running really crappy software. Remember Claude Code asking 66GB for a damn CLI AI agent for something NetBSD under a Vax (real

Mono used to have libwine embedded. You know, libwine exists as a library running and compiling Win32 natively under Unix. Instead of PE binaries you would run ELF Linux ones, but with nearly the same outcome.

This. An old netbook cam emulate a PDP10 with ITS, Maclisp and some DECNET-TCP/IP clients and barely suffer any lag... Also the Amiga's have AmiSSL and it will run on a 68040 or some FPGA with same constraints. IRC over TLS, Gemin

Some Pokémon Crystal ROMs pack a huge amount of gaming in very few MB. Z80-ish ASM, KB's of RAM. The ZMachine games, ditto. A few kb's and an impressive simulated environment will run even under 8bit machines running a virtual mac
