Well the Worbench 1.3 color nostalgia lasted enough on my vertical terminal. I kept the #Amiga border for good measure but reverted to a more modern color & font (EnvyCodeR).

Same terminal showing slrn. Separators are magenta and background is the same gray.

Nothing like using a less popular OS to grasp the deeply statistical nature of #ChatGPT.

You will easily find shortcuts for windows or popular Linux distributions. But no matter how I formulated the question there’s just no way I could obtain what was the shortcut in #HaikuOS to show the menu of the current app (it’s alt-esc or ctrl-esc depending on keyboard layout settings).

Since we won’t be traveling this year the good news I got a “free” 43” 4k TV + Apple TV 4K + a wall mount using my miles.

The bad news is that all these “free” miles required too much spending as always.

@jcdenton I used it also a the time. It was my first Mac actually (that I owned). I had to sell it and years later I bought one out of nostalgia. I still look at it from time to time but probably the only thing I can use it for is to SSH into some other machine.

@akosma Looks cool. How much is the monthly subscription ?

I mean Ulysses turned into a subscription so I get used to the idea.

santiago,
@santiago@masto.lema.org avatar

@akosma My own statement made me curious and I found Wordstar 4.0 cost 495$ in 1987 . That’s a hefty 1398 $ in today’s world.

He actually paid the equivalent of a 13$ yearly subscription so far or 36$ in today’s money. Starting to get cheaper for him than Ulysses now (39.90 /year). Will he notice 3 more dollars on his account this year ? Maybe not.

I just stumbled upon some old blog post of mine, and those screenshots of Mac OS X of yore make me nostalgic. The depth. The vibrant colors. The strong contrast. The clarity. Le sigh.

You don't really understand how it is to live with parents that, while love you, are absolutely convinced that they are totally mentally healthy person when they are not.

You don't understand the fear. EVERY argument ends up with threats.

My mother has send me to buy food. I went and picked the food and told her how much it was. "I send it to you right now". I been waiting 1 hour. I had to leave the food and come back home.

@YoSoyFreeman I don’t know if you have the means to just go away and cut ties but it is most likely the right thing to do.

Most people in our society sacralize motherhood and only accept that you keep your distance if your parents runs a massive child trafficking network but not if they simply make you feel like dying every day.

Took me a while to understand I should have fled as a teenager and not locked myself up in a dark environment until I was 30+.

@YoSoyFreeman BTW staying or the street aren’t the only two options. If you are low on money even renting a cheap room in a place with non destructive people is a sane decision. Peace to be able to think can change your life.

santiago,
@santiago@masto.lema.org avatar

@YoSoyFreeman If I could go back 25 years I’d just tell my former self to just go away.

Even working at a grocery store or whatever if not enough money comes from computing activities yet. Because that’s a bit of financial stability and a lot of mental stability (together with therapy) which can brings lots of changes later.

Maybe the only solution to solve this issue is to write my own Mastodon app with builtin limit systems. Also at least when I’ll be idling in bed doing nothing useful on this network I’ll be able to say “I am testing my app”.

So I am back to having all reposts disabled and having lists at the bottom as icons. It’s rather fast. I just really wish there was a way to group posts by hour or something like that so I don’t lose myself when I have 10 hours to see.

@santiago@masto.lema.org avatar

I reinstalled @MonaApp on my phone because it’s just better. Phanpy is great and the catch up feature is excellent but it got me hooked again and I can’t delete a website from my phone 😭 and in the end switching from lists is tedious and I probably losing even more time.

I’ll have to try other techniques to limit my mastodon usage on the phone.

I see people idealizing France because « two former presidents were convicted », and because here « no one is (supposed to be) above the law », but please stop doing that. 😔

In both cases the sentence was largely disappointing in relation to the seriousness of their crimes, and none of them actually went to prison.
More generally, corrupt politicians go unpunished here as well, and our « justice » system is also rotten to the core. 😬

The last time a political leader here received the treatment they truly deserved actually dates back to 1793, so it’s been a long time. 😐

@jor Ah 1793 🇫🇷 ! The only moment a head of state truly deserved the name, freed from any unnecessary appendages.

@tealeg what was so bad ? I had a Sony laptop in the 2000s. I remember it died after a year out of warranty and the cost for repair was absurd (and at that time I was broke and still paying that laptop in installment. I swore never to get a Sony laptop again. But now for 40 bucks I can risk it. I was surprised a Sony laptop would actually survive 20 years given my experience !

santiago,
@santiago@masto.lema.org avatar

@tealeg we were three friends who had bought the same Sony laptop circa 2002. Can’t remember the model. It was black and looked nice 😅 mine was the first to die but others didn’t last much. I was in Switzerland so shipping wouldn’t take so much time but I remember the cost for motherboard repair (charging port was damaged) was higher than the money paid to get a new desktop. I just paid 150 CHF for the diagnostic and let it there.

@tealeg I remember someone telling me the customer service Sony provided in Japan was the exact opposite. I can’t verify this claim but clearly the level of customer care in Europe surely alienated a lot of people.

santiago,
@santiago@masto.lema.org avatar

@tealeg Well for the price I paid I know I won’t be disappointed (it has cracks and other visible damage but works). So I’ll have fun with it if it doesn’t die in shipping, which is a seriously possibility. My first reaction seeing it for sale was “holy shit a Sony laptop that is alive after 20 years, either they repaired it 20 times or maybe some series had better build quality.” Note this one is in Brazil (probably from the US market) while mine was bought when I lived in Europe.
