It looks nice and the wallpaper is great. Would you mind sharing a source for it?

1·10 months agoThank you for your detailed explanation and the wiki link 🙂. Good to hear that this (side-) topic is on the agenda.
As mentioned, I really appreciate your work around education and awareness of FOSS principles and chances
and I wish you a nice (remaining) Software Freedom Day.
Looks like a really nice and useful initiative.
Suggestion to the owners of the SFD webpage
I would appreciate the SFD initiative even more, if on the SFD webpage you would “live by your own words”.
Facebook and the blue bird are by no means free software, also not according to your definitions “free to study [how the program works]”, “free to distribute [copies]”, “free to modify [the software]”, “free to access [the source code]”.
So why not at least show the benefits and use FOSS social media alternatives in action?
If you need the momentum of the unfree social media, you still could do this additionally.
Do you mean that the filesystem itself had optimization so that searching from the command line (
find,grep) was fast?Or do you think more into the direction of the desktop apps Finder and Librarian?
At least I remember the Librarian.app was great for indexing and quickly searching through large amount of texts (from various formats).
Thanks alot for the details.
Very interesting, I did not know that the Mac SE/30 and the (cheapest) NeXTstation had comparable prices.
What I knew (for here in Germany) was that PCs were expensive (compared to today), but much cheaper than the Macs and NeXTs.
If you want to play around with NeXTstep or OpenStep today, I can recommend the following starting points and tools:
- NeXT Computers forum and its download section
- Previous emulator for emulating black NeXT hardware (m68k) | Releases | Source 1 | Source 2 | Development
- VirtualBox for emulating white NeXT hardware (intel) | Video: Installing OpenStep in VirtualBox
Here you can take a look at the NeXTstation brochure, it is mentioning your price of $5,000 on the last page.
Do you by any chance know what around the same time the costs for a “normal” PC was? Just to get an idea about the difference.
This is very interesting, many thanks for sharing.
Me too, I really like the concept, also have demo-purchased by app with it. Hope it will become usable reality at some point.
GNU Taler. Ah, question was rhetorical :)
It is a small world in the Fediverse :)
You can use the same Windshield in winter and summer (I did many years). When it is used from outside, it helps even more against the temperature.
It is a bit more fun though, to use one with big eyes to be positioned inside and make your car look like from Cars movie. Example on Pinterest
We have the red version (strangely ours was much cheaper here in Germany than what I just found on Walmart website) in our little red Toyota and aside from keeping the car cooler it is looking really cute.
Funny that the original post is 3 years old but it is still so actual :)
Felt in love with the wallpaper, can you please tell me where you got this from @hellfire103@sopuli.xyz ?
1·1 year agoMy first modem was a Dataphone s21 (German Akustikkoppler) for the Commodore C64. It gave me breath-taking 300 baud on the data highway (aka boards).
Thank you very much =)
