Instant nope from me!

And Putinism. It was, after all, the TLD for the Soviet Union.

I prefer WikiLess, tbh. Also, Metastem uses .su, which was the TLD for the Soviet Union.

Yeah, I think they go into discovery mode until they find a previously-paired device when you turn them on.

I’ll double-check the manual.

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!

Well, that explains the memes.

ONLYOFFICE is quite good, although it prefers DOCX.

Good idea!

The link I gave them was for the organisation I moved the serious stuff to. I did this so I could have more basic, novelty, and experimental repos on my Codeberg, as well as so that other people can “join” the organisation to help work on the projects.

I don’t know where you got the idea that I’m pretending I can’t show people this stuff. That’s not at all the case. I am proud of the software I’ve written; I just thought I could organise it better.

Sounds interesting, but maybe a little too advanced for me.

My objectives are education and fun. I enjoy programming, I want to learn more, and I’ve been inspired by Brodie Robertson’s recent video on novelty software as well.

I’m also applying for computer science courses at a few universities at the moment, and I want them to be impressed. Two repos for projects that haven’t been updated since 2022 isn’t the best look.

Good idea, although I think I’d prefer to make a desktop app. I know HTML, but static sites are as far as my web programming goes.

However, with a bit of Python or C and a PGP library, I could probably have a go at making an encrypted P2P chat service.

Interesting. I think an online Markdown editor, maybe with S3 as a storage backend and a button to convert to PDF, could be a useful CRUD webapp. Great idea!

It might be a bit too professional for my personal repos, though. More suited to the organisation I just moved everything to.

A very nice list. I believe the entire Simple Mobile project has been forked to preserve the brilliant apps before their new owner completely butchers them. However, I don’t have a link handy right now.

Honestly, on mobile, there isn’t really anything. However, if you’re burdened with an iPhone (like me), I’d say use iMovie.

If you’re on Android and you’re clever, you might be able to use FFmpeg from inside Termux.

If you have a particularly powerful phone, you might be able to install a window manager (most people go for Fluxbox) and a lightweight video editor (like Avidemux) in Termux, share your screen with a TigerVNC daemon, and then use a VNC client on Android to access it. It will most likely be slow and a little choppy, but it might just work if you seriously have no alternative.

Ah, I didn’t know about any of that.

Try Friendica first. If it’s not your cup of tea, here are a few others:

• Firefish
• Mastodon
• Akkoma
• GNU Social
• diaspora*
• Hubzilla

Ah, bollocks.

I say we either resurrect KHTML, or try and turn NetSurf, Servo, or Ladybird into something that you can realistically use as your main browser.
