  • Oh this hurts physically. So much frustration when soldering with the small wires. So much wasted solder to save your fingers from burning.

    Thanks. I hate it.

  • I don't click piped links myself, but some people find them useful.

    As for tldr bot, it's useful insofar it gets an idea across for wether I want to read the article, but leaves out a lot of information, often vital to the story, and leaves in fluff.

    They aren't perfect, but useful for some.

  • Unfortunately a lot of shareware is not compatible with xp, because it's based on NT architecture. Unlike 9x which is based on DOS, and can run most if not all the shareware of the 90s.

    Also XP was released in 2001, so not the best choice for 90s gaming. The lack of or limited compatibility, with 9x and DOS was an actual downside and reason not to upgrade for older hardware back in the day.

  • TL;DW: Mario blinks at a set interval even after level loads to prove legendary Japanese speedrunner of old, who even had a timing sequence named after him, of cheating by splicing. Even in the run that gave him his fame.

    Quite interesting video showing different ways people can prove a run is spliced.

  • Life as a composter

  • That's a beefy boy for win9x standards! 1600mhz, 512mb ram and a Radeon 7500! This is great for that pre xp era gaming! Cool find!

    And there's always !win9x@retrolemmy.com if you have questions or want to show off some more!

  • Dont tease us! Give us some specs!

  • The feature my company uses is the future of the field I work in. Not saying they are wrong, just that it's not really news that they have that opinion.

  • The gradient, shadows and highlights are too good for just a cartoon. This is more like a 90s animated film style. But even then it's still too good.

  • Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell...

  • Thank you for introducing me to this channel! This is gold.

  • It's not a painting. It's just an edgelord prompting "AI" to generate this image and (formerly) giving this image the title of "June 4th". The image itself is not the problem. The person posting it is.

  • The original title of this post was "June 4th"

  • All I remember from my childhood, was the swinging axe. And the cds. So many cds

  • As far as I know, the biblical description of angels are in line with the Torah and in extention with the Quran. The babies with angel wings is in comparison a very new concept. Depicted long after the Bible was written.

    But you seem deeply invested in this religion, which is fine by me, but I am not. I see the similarities and just presume that whoever wrote the book read the others. I'm not saying I am right or wrong, or that you are. All I'm saying that the similarities are very much possible and, in my opinion, very probable in a non-religious sense.

    Even religions before monotheism are very much alike,and probably stem from the same root. I don't see anyone pushing for godly intervention or prophecies for that. But in all probability, the coincidence in that are probably similar to the coincidence in the Islam.

  • By that time Christianity existed, and most of the Middle East was the Roman empire. It's not far fetched. The old testament of Christianity is basically the Torah texts freely translated and somewhat changed, and Christianity was by that time, thanks to constantine, the most widely spread religion in the Roman empire. It's not a miracle or a coincidence. People traveled then, too. It's about as far fetched as an American-born Buddhist these days. Not common, but it happens.

    In fact, the silk road has existed for centuries, if not millenia by then. If they can trade with places as far as China, it's not far fetched for a religion proven to be inspired by both Judaism and Christianity to have traveled a little over the Roman empire's borders.

    Edit: also Judaism was common in and out of the Roman empire too

  • They wrote it down, Monks (or the religion's equivalent) copied them. Religious leaders read them aloud. It's not hard to understand.
