Went to my local thrift shop & found this Lenovo ThinkPad T460. I walked out with it for $32. ($12 was for the power supply & tax). It’s only issue was it had BitLocker. It was decommissioned but not wiped. I removed the drive wiped it & installed Arch Xfce4 base package plus Firefox & neofetch. Happy with this find. Battery is in good shape. Definitely has a matte display.

Messing with older laptops & Linux is better than doomscrolling & tv for me. Your mileage may vary.

i had the stupidest computer problem in which i wanted to show my friends the photos from Scotland, but the combined files from my phone and camera didn’t add up chronologically - because the phone automatically adjusted time zone (a setting which must be enabled, or the microsoft teams app won’t work - an idiocy in its own right), but the camera did not. those familiar with windows may be aware that it’s possible to edit file properties, including Date Taken - sure, it’d be annoying to have to add one hour to several dozen pictures, but we’ve been through worse manual tasks. however, windows will only let you edit the Date part of the Date Taken timestamp.

cue a random answer on a Windows forum, where the original asker replied to their own question after the official representative, as always, failed to be helpful in any way, linked BulkFileEditor, a file editor that literally had “Add + hours” AND supported editing multiple files at once.

the old-fashioned UI took a minute to parse, so used as i was to modern material UI chromium fork apps, but the person behind the program made it very straightforward. only a few minutes later, all the photos were in beautiful chronological order, ready to be viewed on whatever doubtlessly old and sad device my tech-averse partner had at home.

as i was closing all the tabs after this needlessly complicated journey, i noticed that the appropriately 2008 looking website of this programmer (which listed a whole plethora of other small programs) had a Donate button. curious as to how they chose to implement it, i clicked. only two fields: amount and currency. what the heck, this person saved me quite some frustration today. €3. the Donate button led to Paypal - so simple. Nir Sofer, if you read this, i hope you get yourself a little snack.

If I had a nickel for every time I flirted with a Death who is the sole target of a dating sim and voiced, I'd have two nickels.

~ Daisuke Amaya's artwork appreciation post!

My favorite game turns 20 this year, and I'm very happy to see that it never got old with such stunning artwork and, uh, being an awesome game in general!

Have these manually upscaled artwork from credits of the original Cave Story I did!

If you are interested in Amaya's works, you should also check out his Twitter or buy Kero Blaster to support him as a creator!

And if you are interested in Cave Story, play it! It's free and definitely is an unforgettable gaming experience!

Wondering if anyone would like a dedicated website (like a neocities/Carrd type deal) for my Internet Trinkets tag?

It’s mainly just internet tools, games, guides, resources, books and all kinds of links I’ve found to make the internet experience much more useful and fun, i.e, away from the nightmares of subscriptions, paywalls, hate and fear, as much as possible!

I’d want it to be like a little cornershop with the stuff you’d need, like milk and eggs and bread! Except in this context, it’s internet essentials and some stuff you didn’t think you needed, but do!

@good-morning-czernobog ‘s carrd as well as the likes of masterposts and websites like FrogLand have contributed to this idea, but I’d like some definite input from where this all started.

TLDR:

Want a website full of internet tools to make your life nicer?

Reblog are appreciated but no pressure ^^

My tests with them: the think ink pooling pen has its own custom texture with it as well, "Bokoboko2"

[cryptidize]

would anyone be interested if i put together a masterpost of all the freeware/web rings/digital art/game conservation I know of? I have a large list and I think it might be time I start Sharing It All

I don't really feel like getting into emulating FM Towns right at this moment since a lot of old Windows, DOS and NEC PC-98 stuff are already giving me a lot headaches...

But I love the cover artworks made for Fujitsu's Free Software Collection CDs for FM Towns :3

basically, we kill niko if we sever our connection to the world/close the program without a bed

there is supposed to be a fail safe that prevents niko from dying if, say, a power outage happens suddenly, but the failsafe… doesn’t always work.

though we CAN bring niko back by opening up the program twice after it closing, so it’s not like earlier versions of the program where they were permanently dead

[I cannot tell if it's worse to imply this has been tested enough to know the machanisms...]

[Or trying to tell me that death, even if temporal in some "newer" version, isn't a horrible thing to go through.]

[Especially an ORGANIC being.]
