Ah ok, now I understand ... though it's not something that I'd get excited about I'm glad the idea has you feeling enthusiastic :-)

Apparently it already has the stuff I use, so full steam ahead for me! :-)

So, there's another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?

Has anything that starts with an X been poisoned now? If I were xstore's marketing department I'd feel a little on edge right now.

In other news this headline made me feel old, it took ,e a while to understand what it was trying to say

I just found Haiku R1 Beta 4 exists yesterday, and today read that it has an X11 API interpreter, so I'm going to give it a try over the weekend by chucking an old HDD in my laptop and running it natively ... if it recognises my old laptop's WiFi I'll try it on a longer term basis :-)

Have I missed something? I'm writing this comment using Connect for Lemmy

Itchy Boots is usually good and interesting :-)

Try Haiku, it's the current open source version of BeOs (currently on it's 4th Beta release) and it runs on x86 hardware.

Or what about just using a bare bones Linux as a wrapper for an emulator? Then you could try running something like Workbench 3.9 or MacOS 9, which makes browsing the web an interesting experience ... plus, cute icons :-)

Hola, vivo en Catalunya, y no entiendo tu comentario ...

Seriously, by the end of this year I'll have had about 3 months of holiday. Almost nobody I know travels internationally because, to quote a work friend, "why would I travel when I live by a beach already?"

Seriously, it sounds like you need a holiday yourself.

Kai trucks are made to fit within a size limit for vehicles in inner cities in Japan, as a result there's a whole load of odd tiny vehicles still available today.

The closest we get in Europe now are the "heavy quadricycles", but again they're made for a specific legal niche (or for specific jobs, like the Aixam Mega Truck for things like park maintenance).

Either way, small vehicles are unfortunately unsafe because there's no crumple zones, so outside of slow-burning town centers they're a bad idea (and in town centers it's better to not have cars at all) so we're unlikely to see more cute tiny vans in the future ... except for things like the electric truck you saw, which can cover commercial needs in zero emissions areas, but again specialised use.

They used to be (see: Bedford Rascal) but then people started thinking they'd like to keep their legs in the event of an accident

Ah, it's the phones, I thought it was 12 year olds and was a commentary on the GOP or something

Yeah, like I enjoyed playing it once, but that was enough!

That's a very philosophically positive way of thinking about it!

Unfortunately my other half wouldn't get the Monty Python references. Might have to look at the Piratical one though!

My Garmin Montana GPS uses 3 AA batteries and it's really handy if you're in an area without mains electricity since carrying a an extra set (or even buying alcalines in a pinch) will get you going again!

Fluxx.

My favourite being Zombie Fluxx but my other half prefers Star Fluxx.

Haven't found anything more fun in a card game yet, neither of us took to Cards Against Humanity

I'm guessing your car was quite a lot more expensive

Yeah, I use a VME setup at work for data capture and it's serviceable and reliable (reliable enough to still be working off a coax network cable, lol).

The one I had at home had a 60K-based motherboard with some custom roms and a load of serial ports ... I never managed to get it to do anything useful, unfortunately

Yeah, BeOS looked, for about 5 minutes, like it might be the future!

And then it wasn't :-(
