AmiBrowser: the Chromium engine running on a Linux host talking to a 68K Amiga application

We removed ads from OSNews. Donate to our fundraiser to ensure our future!

Covering the Amiga world is always a bit of a crapshoot, since for what is surely an incredibly small segment of the computing world, it happens to be incredibly complex, with mu

BREAKING: we have just completely removed all ads from OSNews. The ad industry sucks, so I've put my money where my mouth is. OSNews is now entirely ad-free, for everyone.

Since this means losing a chunk of income, I would greatly appreciate it if you could support us by becoming a Patreon, by making an individual donation through Ko-Fi, or by buying our merch.

Stay weird, nerds. ♥️

I am sharing with someone a .rtf file with simple calculations and explanatory text. It is mostly edited on #iPad and read from #iPhone. I modify calculations now and then and update the results. All within the same file. So there’s no spreadsheet function involved. Just me and a plain old calculator.

Anyone knows a lightweight and simple #literateProgramming #notebook which runs on mobile? As an alternative something my portable router could run.

@adele hi there. I'd really love to contribute to #smolweb where I can.

I have a static site generator I'm building in bash: https://github.com/davidpeach/lupo. I think it would qualify. 🙂

I'm moving all my stuff off of GitHub in the coming weeks when I get time.

I'm a PHP dev also.

Love smolweb and love Gemini too.

I'm rewriting my personal website to use good ol' fashioned PHP without a framework. This is why and how.

This explains well why I'm always skeptical of developers/projects who push non-readable file formats: https://adele.pages.casa/md/blog/why-I-prefer-human-readable-file-formats.md

Debian 13 is now available for download: https://distrowatch.com/12521

@adele In 1992, for the first Linux I installed (kernel 0.96 then 0.99), the kernel needed 13 floppies; it was so long to download them, write them, and read them on the pc. And to wait for the first boot. Then the magic of the first prompt. Then we could FTP to get more software. This was the happy time of FTP and telnet. Each time to boot we needed to put again one by one these 13 floppies.

Thanks to @adele for opening the door to the Gemini Protocol again for me. I dabbled with Gemini back in 2021 but am returning to it now after a 4 year break and after seeing how our "normal" internet is rapidly disappearing into the "enshittification" mire (Mastodon excepted!).

Time again for a quiet place to connect with the interesting people of Gemini.

AWS Deleted all data despite redundancy, backup, dead man’s switch. This is why you need to keep all your data offline. The 3-2-1 backup rule is a good data protection strategy that states that you kee 3 copies of your data, storing them on 2 different types of storage media, and keeping 1 copy offsite under your bed or office. Don't trust your hosting company's backup service.

Si tu as trouvé un sac à dos noir décathlon avec dedans une switch dans une pochette noire, des jeux de société (dont le sea salt and pepper, un uno flip, un gobit, un petit pois), une gourde noire, un casque anti bruit, une casquette et lunettes de soleil, un flacon d'airomir dans un RER A direction Cergy (je crois) tu peux me contacter en dm.

Sac à dos oublié dans le RER A à la station Auber mardi 5 août vers 11h50.

Il y a peut-être une étiquette avec mon nom et mon numéro de téléphone mais je n'en suis pas sûre.

@adele the generality of the text editor (and unix text processing tools) is very nice, and when working within the current ecosystem i always choose them.

and yet i also find text formats harmful. the vast majority of programming languages, config files, and exchange formats reinforce english-supremacy. different people have different layout preferences - spacing habits, column widths, indentation styles, and in programming naming conventions - why must they compromise on those to collaborate? and those compromises inevitably favor the parties with more power.

so i am intrigued by the possibility of general self-describing binary formats that do not embed privileged perspectives. i suspect a similarly general ecosystem of tools could be built around something with more structure than text (which is, after all, also a binary format), and perhaps be even better.

I subscribe to newspaper not because I prefer reading paper version - it is because ad tech and survelliance capitalism made internet unbearable, therefore I do not subscribe to any online one 📰

It is not ok to put tracking pixels, capture location and calculate where and for how long my screen is focused at. It's not ok to broker peronal private data to "target" more ads towards me. And it is definitely not ok to build browsers that are intended to maximize tracking with different initiatives tried to be pushed as "standards". Screw content algorithms that restricts me from reading full comment feed supposedly giving me only the "relevant" ones.

Big techs think they can ignore EU GDPR because, you know, they are bringing "innovation". Screw that. That is not innovation - that is unethical business that should be declared illegal
