I’m sure this would pair very well with my analog broadcasting equipment and the recent lack of FCC enforcement

I’ll recommend some modern keyboards that are suitable for your retrokit - I’m a big fan of Unicomp keyboards myself, though they do not do N-key rollover, if that is something important to you. Their lighter shade (they call it ‘white’) is more of a grey than a beige.

You may also consider USB keyboards that can handle P/S2 protocol with use of an adapter (not all of them can do this very well). I have a WASD keyboard for my modern PC that I sometimes also use with my older machines. I would recommend them, but they appear to be out of business.

This is an old article. I believe the original seller already depleted their stock. There’s a lot of good components in them for tinkerers and some folks still have interest in recreating the original services. I bought one while they were still being sold cheap, the things really were just like brand new

Until LaRose is gone, every referendum is going to have fucked language.

It’s the Lilac color scheme that really makes it - we had that on my family’s first PC and classic Win UIs don’t look quite right to me without it.

Had to hit pause on it this week, but recently I have been working through Final Fantasy IX, the PC remaster on Steam w/ Moguri Mod. Started my playthrough in early September, and I just got the boat and entered the grindy minigame hell portion of the game.

Gopher.

Athens is a little bit outside my normal range but having lived in Appalachian Ohio my entire life I can say you see the same attitudes everywhere here.

He wasn’t imprisoned for 30+ years. He got 7 years and was out after 5. He was, in his own words, ‘locked up in [his mind]’ for 30+ years.

if it’s worth 2100 miles and a border crossing to you, you can have it, haha

Referring more to the people talking about how it’s such a good deal. I think $10 is pretty close to what it cost to buy from the shuttered Blockbuster a decade ago, haha.

Wait are these worth something? I have one of these I have been wanting to throw away.

Warzone 2100. 3D RTS from the late 90s that was open-sourced after the studio went belly-up. Fantastic game, runs on even ancient hardware.

Edit to add: Forgot to mention it is still receiving updates!

Oh hey, we got the old.lemmy front-end. What are the chances of a lemmyBB front-end, then?

The vote yes signs I’ve seen suggest the idea is to outright make it impossible to modify the constitution in a bid to fend off the possibility of rebuilding abortion access or introducing new gun control efforts

Funnily enough, some of the conservatives I know personally are planning on voting no out of fear that Issue 1 passing might backfire on them and activate the Dem voter base to the point they’d lose their majority in the state and a potentially useful tool to combat a theoretical Dem majority

My old house from the early sixties has electric radiant heat in the ceilings as the sole heating source, a large sun room running the length of the house, and almost no insulation to speak of. I’m in Ohio.

Incidentally, when we moved in, the inside doors of the cabinetry were all wallpapered in newspaper clippings about the 1970s energy crisis. I can’t imagine why!

I’d rather see a lemmyBB (phpBB-style) front-end, myself

Genuinely I’d trust random FOSS stranger on the internet before I’d trust Google, Samsung, Apple, etc. It’d be a lot of work to be the sole maintainer of a LineageOS distro that only functions on one specific phone just to try to steal the data of the maybe 12 people who are going to install it.

I had the same thing happen a couple days ago, trying to upload an image to lemmy.ca from this account.

Cbus is rated purple today. On the edge of Appalachian Ohio where I’m from the air is like smoke from a woodstove chimney - not the worst smell but very unpleasant to breathe.
