  • I think it took me over an hour to get my sound blaster pro configured just right

    Here’s another reference from the era,, let’s see if you get it:

    “Did you bring the pages?”

    It was from a game, but not a platformer

  • What kind of craziness would cause a person to think that it might?

  • Marvels and wonders indeed

    oh, those halcyon days…

    My favorite when I was a kid was absolutely, and without a doubt Second Reality by Future Crew. Full screen 3-D object rendering at 30 frames a second on a 486SX/25 CPU without a graphics card. in 1993

    Future Crew, active in the early 90s, was a legendary group within the demoscene. They were acclaimed for their groundbreaking demos, like “Second Reality”, that demonstrated advanced programming, visual artistry, and music composition. These works set new standards for what was possible in real-time computer graphics, and they inspired countless artists and programmers around the world. Despite the group’s dissolution in 1994, Future Crew’s influence on the demoscene and the broader fields of graphics and game development is undeniable, and their legacy continues to inspire creativity in the digital world.

    Fucking legendary.

    And it fit on a floppy

    Edit: I remember my friend Nick brought back a copy of Second Reality from ASSEMBLY 93, an annual convention of assembly developers where they would show off their programming prowess with these demos. Me and my friends got to see it before it hit the BBSs and Usenet. So fresh, yo!

  • Sit down by the campfire my dear youngin’ and I’ll talk you tales of a terror myth called ASSEMBLY

    OOOOOooOOOOOooOOO!

    Machine language! Direct memory addressing! AAAAAaaaaa!

    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    Computers existed before the year 2000, you silly children…

  • That’s why nano gets used more than vi/vim. In the past, the majority of people using terminal text editors were geeks and developers. Now the majority of people using the terminal text editors are more often casual users who have no use for putting the time and effort to learn vi/vim, especially because they have no need for the extended functionality

  • Yeah, I also want to know

  • They have turds for brains

  • As a 30 year veteran of food trucks, that is not a man you should be taking health advice from!

  • yet will soon stop working on the latest macOS because it was compiled before macOS supported arm.

    Yeah, and who is that gonna affect? Tell me if the tens of millions of people who are gonna become homeless because of this?

    Nobody. That’s who. Exactly 0 people will be negatively affected by this, because everybody under this umbrella will already have transitioned to ARM processors themselves, and will never notice the difference.

    You’re twisting yourself into pretzels to invent a problem that doesn’t exist just to create an argument so you position yourself as an aggrieved victim, where no victims actually exist

    You invented a problem that doesn’t exist just so you could make an argument where and you invented yourself as the only victim. The only problem: none of this is actually real. And I’m here to call you out for your bullshit.

    You’re fucking exhausting, and I’m tired of you. You’re blocked.

  • That's fine if you aren't affected, but many people were and will be again soon.

    Yes, and we’re allowed to exist and voice our opinions once in a while without constantly being constantly dogpiled to death.

    Oh, and whine about arm support only being in macOS since 2020– when Apple started developing their own arm chips, lol— what a coinkidink!

    And you’re the only one who used the word “hypothetical”, so don’t try to reframe my discussion. i’m not trying to reframe how anyone feels about anything. Project your dissatisfaction elsewhere. I have only presented facts. Clearly, you have your own unresolved feelings, and I am not responsible for any of that.

    Ugh… take your decades of tiresome baggage elsewhere. I have nothing to do with any of that crap. and it certainly has no place in this discussion.

  • The past, I suspect

  • And I bet they’re still blaming “the Commies” for polio.

  • Is anyone still denying it at this point?

  • Yep, that’s it 👍

  • Not in international waters, you don’t.

    There, the US gets to kill brown people indiscriminately.

    /sad

  • Did you ever see him on the show NewsRadio? He didn’t really seem all that different from how he is today.

    I’d like to pity him, but I just don’t have it in me

  • Windows has decades of existing software that still works. Mac OS blocked 32bit software, and will soon drop rosetta 2 to block all x64 software

    I don’t use 30 year-old software. Everything I use has been updated a long time ago to be 64 bit compatible. And Rosetta will still work for another year at least. This is not a problem I will ever have to deal with.

    You’re arguing theoreticals that will never be a practical problem for me, nor for the vast majority of people, so you’re spinning up your own worries for no practical reason other than to argue, which I consider pretty silly and petty. If you want to torture yourself, fine, but I have a life to live.
