Hey, thanks so kindly for bringing that to my attention! I'll probably migrate my system to NextCloud. :)

Can I take a moment to recommend 'OwnCloud'? ( https://owncloud.com ) I may be out of the loop, but my experience with it has been great. It's a (mostly?) open-source, self-hosted DropBox(ish) clone - with a great

And when that service is abused for piracy, CP, and other illegal files; it will start the ball rolling that inevitably drags it down legally to the level that DropBox is at.

There’s an incredible lack of documentation on the SEGA CD’s actual development architecture - you can find copies of all SEGA’s official documentation, but it’s pretty arcane and tough to approach. Obviously there’s tons and tons of Genesi

Sadly; though, they announced not to expect a miniature Saturn or Dreamcast anytime soon; which - the Saturn being my all-time favourite console - couldn’t be much more of a disappointment.

It was also notable for being a miniature but combined SEGA CD and SEGA Genesis. IIRC it did not officially support the 32X, but it did work?

Another pretty brutal failure on Apple’s part. There’s literally no excuse for this beyond greed. Multi user support is a base level OS feature.

WebOS is still; to this day, my favourite mobile OS. When it was open sourced - I’d actually hoped it could be a serious open source competitor in the field. Quite a sad disappointment.

This is extremely similar to the field of music for me. As a vinyl DJ, hip hop producer, and turntablist, one of the greatest joys is finding one of those rare LPs that just never was heard, and - even better - that juicy sample in it. Obvi

Did you know there is a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it… In all seriousness though, this is a cute and fun tool. I actually played with Spirographs a lot as a wee one.

The laws are a direct result of these people existing and voting for them, and a symptom of the oppressive environment that awaits for LGTBQ+ folk who visit, or - worse - live, there. And of course I would never visit Afghanistan, either!
