GitHub user "syncguy" thinks Windows XP is still cool 🏴‍☠️, so he's #hacking #Golang 1.24 to run on it. Meanwhile, the rest of us are using modern tools and wondering why anyone would resurrect an OS as dead as disco 💀🎶.

Go-legacy-winxp: Compile Golang 1.24 code for Windows XP

I was feeling nostalgic for the classic #WindowsXP "Bliss" wallpaper, so I had CoPilot update it for #Windows11 - It hits different somehow...

Ea, #WindowsXP al poder. A ver si se me ocurre hacer algún experimento con esta bazofia.

Sometimes emptying the house makes me feel like I'm in Back To The Future.

The phone camera is 1280x360😱.

But it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack (which modern phones sorely lack😠) and a 32GB microSD card slot so I could use it for my music.

It's on and you can see the quick menu on the screen.

Picture of a reinstallation CD for Windows XP still in its original unopened plastic packaging.

@gordoooo_z @rl_dane @fuchsiii You'd be surprised how many big businesses still insisted on supporting #WindowsXP way beyond it's EoL!

I think I'm going to keep this one as is, just for the nostalgia of Windows XP.😆

I won't connect it to internet and have fun using it as a typewriter.
The battery needs to be replaced though.

I''m very tempted to take it when I travel, just to confuse people.

I really want to erase the last bit of #windows in my home, the Windows 10 partition in my #dualbooting desktop computer, but there are still two games I can't get to work in #linux and those are my completely legally downloaded copies of #thesims and #thesims2. I can buy the anniversary editions on Steam but that would involve giving EA more money than it deserves. Does running them on a separate laptop in #windowsxp count as sticking it to the man? #did #digitalindependenceday

@rraggl eben!

#WindowsXP kann (ohne modifizierte Installationsmedien) weder #SCSI noch #SATA geschweige denn #SAS oder #NVMe-Medien nativ booten und erkennen und verlangt zwingend die #Treiber auf 3,5" #Diskette (!!!)
Das Problem besteht bis einschließlich #Windows7 fort, samt Unfähigkeit ohne Spezialsoftware von #USB-Speichersticks & -Festplatten wie SSDs zu installieren.
#Windows8 & #Windows 8.1 hat immerhin #SATA-Triber bekommen und
Erst ab #Windows10 gab's #NVMe-Support ohne Frickelei.
Von der Fummelei keinen #MicroShit-Accoint für #Windows11 zu brauchen und zu verhindern dass jenes #Govware-OS konstant alle Dateien in #OneDrive hochlädt noch garnicht angefangen.

Dass fundamentale #Treiber bis heute nicht in #Windows integriert sind und wie in den 1990ern #Treiber händlisch reingeprügelt werden müssen ist auch ein Unding dass es so glücklicherweise nie unter #Linux gab.

Klar Murks alla #nvidia und einige beschissene Geräte sind immernoch beschissen, aber so #Bloatware wie #GeForceExperience gibt's aus guten Gründen nicht…

Meine Beispiele bei Windows sind noch nichtmals weirde Edge-Cases sondern fundamentale Funktionen…

#Linux mag zwar in seltensten Fällen auf Konsole crashen, aber es kann von dort wenigstens repariert oder sogar benutzt werden!

@seri Didn't the entire source code for #WindowsXP leak online? I wonder how many obsessive Rustaceans it would take to produce an unofficial binary- and feature-compatible re-implementation.

Rover, what have you done!?

This was initially only supposed to be a doodle but I eventually went and turned it into a drawing piece :neodog_laugh:

Title: Search Gone Wrong 🔎💥🔥

#art #drawing #fediart #windows #windowsxp #MastoArt

Drawing (done digitally) of Rover the Dog from the Search Companion tool on Windows XP, standing in the middle of a large mess due to trying to scout out a file via searching the file system. All Rover says is a confused "Wruff?"

Clippy (the Office 97 assistant) is laying dizzy on the ground with part of him bent and shouts a message saying: "It seems like your computer has spontaneously combusted. Would you like help?" with the options of 'Not Now' and 'Yes'.

There is the Minesweeper face who's lying dead with X's in its eyes, an error message saying 'Dell.exe' in all caps followed by 'Catastrophic Error'. The message with a red X reads: "DELL.EXE" is not a valid Win32 application". There is also a torn yellow folder with a yellow caution symbol in front, a broken magnifying glass, a file document torn and on fire, and a grey Dell desktop tower burning in flames with its parts everywhere.

Bonzi Buddy (the *spyware* desktop assistant) is giggling in the background about the aftermath behind Merlin the Wizard (another Search Companion), who in contrast is shocked and devastated at the mess Rover made.

Dina Panadero on the left, who's off-screen but is shown in a speech bubble, is yelling out to Maria in tears that Rover 'ripped up' the PC again.

The background is all drawn and painted manually, with a multitude of digital brushes like grass, cloud, and bubble brushes.

A staged early-2000s computer desk setup lit with blue and magenta accent lighting. On the left, a white iBook G4 laptop displays SpaceHey, a modern MySpace-style social network, in a Firefox-based browser. In the center is a Dell Dimension 2200 tower connected to a Dell CRT monitor showing Windows XP with the game Zuma Deluxe running, using a Dell keyboard and mouse. Beige Harman/Kardon desktop speakers sit beside the monitor. Spread across the desk are period accessories including a Motorola Razr flip phone, a blue Tamagotchi Connection, a TI-84 graphing calculator resting on an open handwritten notepad, a black Game Boy Advance SP, and a blue 3.5-inch floppy disk labeled “Plop Bootloader.” A GTA III jewel case lies near the front edge of the desk, and a Maran Illustrated Windows XP: 101 Tips book stands behind the computers.

Now on the other end of the spectrum, Firefox 52.9.0 ESR loads 99.99% of the site perfectly.

Turns out I designed my website pretty well. While it doesn't load everything in IE6, it IS usable. Turns out that the way I link things or just by using the site search, you can get to everything. What's the most surprising to me is that the Google font loads (I know... I need to just load it locally).
