A water world unix_surrealism by @prahou@merveilles.town. The gopher and lisp alien wade through a flood around ruined buildings flanked by behorned dark red skinned demons with sun-cooked eyes. One demon is carrying a radio; the lisp alien's nose clutches a microphone.

@vidak FujiNet lets Atari 8-bits and others do Internet stuff, including a text fedi client. Really the main obstacle is SSL, so you just need something to handle that.

i wonder what you can actually do on the internet with an 80s microcomputer these days

i have always wanted to try and come up with a minimalistic ecosystem that would allow people to use the internet on an old micro

even if it was just a web gateway... i used to have an old macintosh SE/30 as well, i would have loved to get something like that online

also thinking about commodore 64 BASIC, and microcomputers in general...

thinkin' about 9front...

So I commented on that post from Mozilla where they were asking for comments regarding the new ai integration.

Making that comment subscribed me to all new comments to that post, and now my mailbox is filling up with nothing but messages from people explaining just what a terrible idea it is.

forth is cool. forth can stay.

🪐 We've been on Mastodon for many years, but I'm gonna go ahead and post this old Xenia drawing anyways, in case any of our followers from Cohost are checking these tags

A drawing of Xenia the linux fox, who is walking along while carrying a trans-flag colored laptop. She has one hand in the air, as if waving someone away

You don't have this ... This is the Pecom 64, made in Serbia from 1985. It uses the very unusual RCA 1802 microprocessor. This is the only one known to be in North America.

An edited Calvin and Hobbes strip

Dad: What joke would you like tonight? We can read everything except...

Calvin: Cow Tools?

Dad: No! No Cow Tools tonight! We've read that joke a million times!

Calvin: I want cow tools!

Dad: Look, you *know* how the joke goes. You've memorized the whole thing! It's the same joke ever day!

Calvin: I want cow tools!

The last panel is Calvin, Hobbes, and Dad in the cow tools comic. Dad looks bored and Calvin and Hobbes look very thoughtful.
