NEWS FLASH: Old Tech is Suddenly Cool
Apparently, the Amiga 600, once the sad sack of the Commodore lineup that nobody wanted, is now the hipster darling for people who think wearing retro tech on their sleeves is a personality trait. Who knew a cost-cutting move from the 90s would become the ultimate geek chic?

Yesterday I knew about #uxn and I knew some other things were plausible with roms and such... now I am drawing on a "me built" rooted sdcarded homebrewed nintendo #3dsxl because I can!
This is the new thing I needed to tinker with. LOL
now to figure out how to post files FROM the 3ds over a network... shirly the #curl library could be of service... hmm. #smolweb #exploring #oldtech

Yesterday I tried to find a garage to fix the cracked exhaust manifold of our 19 years old #volkswagen T5 "Grandpa-Bus" we inherited last year... Yeah that was an unpleasant experience. All of them (including a volkswagen dealership) were - in different words - like "oh, that's sh***y job. we're not interested."
Main takeaways from this: 1) In our late #capitalism society something is broken on a very fundamental level when it is a tough job find a garage that will #repair something on a #car that is more complex than changing oil. And I really don't get behind it. 2) Don't drive #dieselbro vehicles with overly complex #internalcombustionengines! Driving #EV reduces stress. 3) I’m still undecided on what would be more sustainable: keeping an old #fossilfuel vehicle running since the resources have already been spent, or switching to something modern with no local #co2emissions.

I guess with the recent Mozilla terms changes, we can now say that Netscape has come full circle.

J'ai trouvé un vieux briquet mural... électrique ! ️
