@eta Heheh! Wondered who would spot that. It has the full Palm Desktop installed. I still have a Palm T|X :)

Apologies for that being a photo and not a screenshot. The laptop has no LAN and no USB drivers (Win95) so it's a little problematic getting files off it :)

I recently picked up a rather chunky IBM ThinkPad 380XD. The previous owner used Windows 95 on it. The installation of Internet Explorer still has a cache of MSN home page from August 8th, 1999 :)

@diddledan Oh is there a "Hate girl feet" page?

Mark Zuckerberg informs us Facebook has great AI. I don't understand why it thinks I will be interested in this.

Look what arrived at casa popey. A @kdecommunity Slimbook! We'll review this on an upcoming episode of Ubuntu Podcast!

Pretty much every night Salem assumes this position in bed. Typing this left handed as a result. 🐈 Purr! https://mastodon.social/media/9mt2K6hdwXTNGoG8O10

@paperdigits It was 14.

@garrett yeah. Works well on nexus 7 2013 here too.

Switched back from LineageOS on my OnePlus 3T to OxygenOS. Dramatic difference in performance. I wonder if LineageOS is missing some blobs or other non-free bits that make the OEM build of OxygenOS so much more fast and fluid.

My beloved pebble watch is failing :(. Getting these irritating vertical blue streaks on screen. They move about madly and are more pronounced when the back light is on. Tempted to pick up another for when this dies. https://mastodon.social/media/xnOv3oiBflqu6A2w4Dc

Just found the first four issues of "Comms Plus!" magazine in the loft. "Comms / Multi User Games / SF & Fantasy". Here's some photos from issue 1. Pretty fascinating reading from nearly 30 years ago :)

@pla1 Suddenly hungry

It makes me very happy to be the (temporary) owner of the (now) POPE VOLTAGE community website! Space Raiders for the win! https://community.badvoltage.org/

Huh, it's been one year of being on Mastodon! My first Toot was a cat picture - of course. https://mastodon.social/@popey/1655434

@mhall119 @mhall119 which app you using? I'm on tusky

@mhall119 @mhall119 out of interest, why move?

@lvdd I had the green screen too. I couldn't afford the colour one. My mate had the colour one and we'd usually play on that. I later bought the modulator so I could use a TV :)

30 years ago I'd cart my CPC 464 to a mates house to do 'multiplayer' games (Ikari Warriors & Rebelstar Raiders). In 2018, my 11 year old Son plays massive games with his schoolmates & friends online with voice & video chat. How far we've come since loading 48K games from tape :)
