At some point in time worked on a game with a friend. Won't have the time for this dream activity in the near future. Some day perhaps, some day...

Collecting MSX games I used to play the most

The EU wants to stop feeding your DNS queries to Silicon Valley.

DNS4EU is the European Commission’s attempt to build a sovereign DNS resolver infrastructure that doesn’t route all your web lookups through the likes of Google, or Cloudflare.

DNS4EU aims to bring DNS resolution under EU oversight and privacy rules.

So, if you want 🇪🇺-backed ad-blocking and child protection, you may want to give it a try.

Check out DNS4EU here: joindns4.eu/for-public

DNS choosing between EU and Google

@djlink curious to read about the details. Still using my old switch hand-held (plugging in my virtual Balatro cartridge) when my family is using the Switch 2. At least noticing I quite like the old one being smaller and lighter to handle.

The best feeling ever is getting commercials after almost every other skip, while trying to find back a bit within in a YT video

I did reject all cookies, so I deserved it

#startrek puts it so simple: "Our species used to be in that primitive state as well" (referring to current times)

Put that in the water supply and we'll all be kite surfing on the holodeck soon

@grumpygamer wow working with Python almost every day, but never heard of this. My history so far: pip, pipenv, poetry and now will try uv as soon as I'm in the office

Hundreds of thousands of Computers won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but that shouldn't make them eWaste.

Kudos to the @kde team for this amazing initiative!

Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy

a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

@grumpygamer worth 99,9% of the worlds wealth, pretty good reason to go for it. After collecting you can buy 1 box of eggs

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (Broderbund 1985) #AppleII

Let's hear it for Rockapella!

#retrocomputing #retrogaming

@landelare heh ok fair enough

@Wortex17 Thanks for clarifying. I'll check out what the business is about now. Haven't yet re evaluated that after being happy to have found an alternative for big tech (years ago) that kind of works for me. Also now curious to try some alternatives

@landelare still not sure what ddg fails at exactly? Just from my side: it's good enough for my needs. I never feel my self needing to switch to another search engine to be able to find what I need to solve a coding problem. Maybe there are some great features out there that I'm not aware of?

@Wortex17 curious to hear about why not DuckDuckGo?

@playmedusa nice, maybe I'll get that one. Also would love to see and play star quest as well. If you haven't tried that I would recommend it. (It's from the same era)

@playmedusa Ah this looks like a modern version? Still sad I sold or gave away my old copy of HQ. I remember painting the figurines heh

One of the most satisfying things of #balatro is the counting of points building up in speed and insanity. This was also my favourite moment in #rollerball for the #msx when the end score is counted after carefully trying to collect the multiplier bonuses on the hard to reach part of the pinball machine. Found a great high score. The build up sound is so satisfying: youtu.be/fkbp0eDmLoU?si=ZhWVA4

@arnauddeklerk still the intro tune and sounds are etched in my brain. That game gets hard. Never could finish it (back then)
