I can chat with my SO over Jabber/Telegram with Biltbee+IRC or Pidgin thanks to Libpurple plugins. On Usenet, being the only decentralized platform without neither corporation nor goverment control, it will come back, as it's bein

Win 98 was 32 bit but half-an OS, NT and GNU/Linux were far better. - Terrible streaming. WMA files too.

What's your opinion on Beatriz VIllarroel and her experiments on transient traces in plates?

It's still there, at IRC/Usenet/some niche forums. Replace phreaking with maybe some mesh networks and ways to connect computers without calling an ISP. There are still niche blogs and even phlogs . And you can still use Pid

Playing videos in underpowered machines vía streamlink/yt-dlp. Tons of people under HN might know yt-dlp, but not streamlink. About GUI's and the like, mpv has both SDL and KMS output, and both can render to the framebuffer. Ditto

Same there. The huge amount of software and geeky toys that came with it was impressive. From Emacs itself to the BB demo, libre games and whatnot. You could install it to a hard disk and get a ready to use Debian Testing install with one o

On Mednafen I can speed up the emulator up to 4x while compiling c++ under an n270 netbook. With GCC, not Clang. Without compiling I might yield 16x speeds and more with ease.

PS/2 ports interrupt the CPU directly. You can't be faster than that.

No. Separate of ICANN. Their own network. Like Yggdrasil, but ID checked.

Dear goverments, if you care about KIDS, provide them a separete internet outside of ICANN with mandatory ID. Let the rest of the people create an anonymous, adult internet with no ID's.

Groff+Mom does a lot of hard stuff easy. Adding fonts, headers, chapters... and it's far smaller than Texlive.

Otter Browser it's uber light, but for proper support you might need to build it against the qtwebkit/qtwebengine plugin (I can't remember, but one of the two engines was the most modern one). If not, I have Dillo+MPV+ytdlp&#
