Why is this on c/Technology? Musk isn’t twitter and twitter isn’t tech news.

Are there people who do this???

the phrase “opt-in consent” is sickening. if its not opt-in then, legally, it shouldn’t be consent at all. I hate that we have to clarify.

Think of all the weird minigames that were only ever released on mobile; its Flash Games all over again! This is huge for emulation!

Why is this in c/Technology?

That’s exactly what I thought would work, but it doesn’t.

I’m using a regular off-the-shelf tape recorder, it doesnt have an electronic interface, I just press play and record manually.

I did use par2 and tar to generate redundancy, but I still need a way to locate it in the bytestream. Tar doesn’t seem to reliably mark the start or end of files :/

I tried that first! But tar complains if it can’t find the file header! So I still need to do some sort of packets. Unless you know some sort of workaround?

lol, as if the internet would survive long enough to be studied archeologically. most digital media lasts 10 years, 20 tops. future archeologists will get whatever was worth laser-etching into a sapphire disc and they’ll just have to live with that.

Technically there is a successor to Vib-Ribbon but it’s iPhone only if I recall? “Russian Dancing Men”.

Retro/Grade is a rhythm/shooter mashup where you travel backwards through time and un-fire a bunch of lasers to un-kill a bunch of ships. It was designed for a guitar hero controller if I recall? I found the visuals nauseating and the music lackluster but that premise is gold and deserves another chance.

Also PLEASE play the music backwards??? It’s a game about going back in time, c’monnnnn.

Alley Cat actually got a second chance! Look up “Alley Cat: ReMeow”

syncthing is the easy option if you have some files you always want to have on both. if you just want to access your desktop files from your phone, I recommend Cx File Explorer for Android, it’s a file browser that supports various network file share protocols including Samba and SFTP.

I dont. Its honestly not great. I’d rather that effort went to preserving and repairing the existing tools of the free and open web – the old protocols are extensible. Imagine if we had an RSS client with a “reblog” feature!

“Federation” adds overhead and honestly creates as many problems as it solves. It’s not a selling point, its a price tag.

I was that kid. Get them a copy of Rhythm Heaven if you can find one, or one of its spiritual successors like Rhythm Doctor.

Especially slightly angled walls!

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking “I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer”

I don’t usually “pin to top” or “pin to bottom” but I often have pseudo-folders that use a similar approach, for instance

• Healthcare
• Mail
• Taxes 2020
• Taxes 2021
• (etc)
• Work 2020 (Name of job)
• Work 2021 (Name of job)
• (etc)

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

Learning good technique is hard and boring. Solve a problem the wrong way first, and you’ll find out what technique improvements are worthwhile.
