   I have auto-subscribe turned on, so when someone (or a bot) follows me on the fediverse, I automatically follow back. This is actually really handy for reducing spam on my GNU Social instance.

    If you like games made in the Unreal engine (version 1), give this file a listen. It'll play in VLC. https://kwat.chat/attachment/161095

    I wish vector display technology had seen similar continued investment and development like discrete pixel displays did

      Had a hard time finding it, but did eventually, thank you. I'd like something more than just "maybe they are the people that did this" before making any decisions. Is there any evidence?

    How Pebble’s watches have stuck around is a fascinating story. A crazy dedicated community reverse engineered their servers and set up their own infrastructure. The watches are still running strong, three years after the company failed. https://www.ifixit.com/News/rebble-with-a-cause-how-pebble-watches-got-their-amazing-afterlife

      @jeffalyanak That's because they confined usefulness with pixel art.

      @rocky1138 I haven't really found the usefulness to be hindered by the screen. Honestly, the tradeoff in battery life seems well worth it.

      @jeffalyanak Sorry, it was autocorrect. I meant combined. I love the screen, too.

    Emulating old computers stops when the software runs, but it would be so much better to include the sounds the old computer used to make, emulation of the period monitor, and sound of the keyboard as well. Why is this emotional aspect of computer emulation not taken more seriously?
