I love this so much! I sent it to my Dad, who's an ophthalmologist. Hopefully he gets a kick out of it.

That's something I really enjoy about web 1.0: links pages. We need to bring back the days when every site had a giant list of links to other sites. I don't care if half of them end up as dead links. This is part of what made the

Web rings are a thing I've been thinking about a bit. Anyone know any good ones? There are a couple I reached out to for one of the projects I'm working on, to get my site on them, but I never got responses. There are also some we

A tragic day for America. This new generation just doesn't appreciate floppy disks anymore.

Yes, I thought this was beautiful too. Art imitates life, as they say.

That's because Windows 7 was the last release purely focused on usability on desktops. We all know what happened with Windows 8; Windows 10/11 still have to account for multitouch displays. Also, they screwed up the start menu&#x2

This doesn't seem to be structured differently than a standard-fare social media app. All the same issues with human verification on those apps would apply to this too. Unless you mean a platform only for vetted local journalists...

We're going to have to go in the opposite direction and rely on directories or lists of verified human-made/accurate content. It will be like the old days of yahoo and web-indexes all over again.

The Calculator app for LisaGUI. I'm using high precision fixed point arithmetic to do the calculations. It's gonna have the same functionality as the original, with three different modes and a toggle-able paper tape. The Lisa&#x27

I will now post the relevant Tom Scott video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY I tried it. I will never try again unless I take, like, six months to plan out how the system will work before I even write a single

Is 1.5 hours really too long for people to watch that they feel it's not even worth it if they can read an AI-generated summary? I get that people have limited time, but a documentary is about more than just consuming raw textual infor

This is David Greelish's great documentary about the Lisa with interviews from John Sculley, Bill Atkinson, Ray Arachelian (developer of LisaEm), and many others involved with the Lisa both in the past and the present. It's been f

Qntm is a great author and deserves the support of everyone here. The antimemetics division series is the primary reason I kept following the SCP wiki for years after it had long since peaked my interest (because I was waiting for him to fi

This will be an option in the future. I just need to properly define how the menubar module system will work. I have a couple other toggle-able things which will be added to the menu bar in the future.

I should clarify I'm indeed not using the api call to get device pixel ratio; I forgot I had ended up not needing it because all that code is stuff I wrote about a year ago, lol

Sorry! It's a bit buried in the "Tips" document. This is something I need to emphasize more!

I do have plans to eventually add a UI to add, edit, and remove custom color palette values... it's just a matter of coding up a dialog that lets you type in the RGB values and a label for each user-defined preset. I just haven't

The menu bar is hidden in the installer because that's how the Lisa's installer looked. I definitely need to do some work on layouts to make things more responsive. If your phone's screen is too small the text may overflow an

f4mi's channel isn't so bad... it's a little click-baity sometimes, but I often get a kick out of Gen-Z's amusement when dealing with technology just before their time.

I'm really happy you enjoyed it! The Lisa's a really cool machine; definitely easier to work with and service than some of Apple's other designs...

I've received several comments regarding the font - people are saying some of the character widths appear uneven. The font characters are literally bitmap fonts; each character is printed the same way every time, unless one or more sty
