Yeah, it’s not. Leads to weird situations on Linux handheld where you paste in your purchased binary if it’s compatible, or you use an emulator like fake08 that has good, but not perfect, compatibility.

I tried the iOS beta until it expired. Didn’t know it ever made it to the app store.

Same here. Clearly I need more sleep.

That sounds like a pretty accurate interpretation!

These are lots of fun!

The fabled hockey puck grip!

I was using Firefox back when it was cool. And now it’ll be cool again.

Basically all the little niche projects out there that could really use more talented programmers and/or all the random little projects that don’t exist because I lack the time and skills to attempt them. So in the spirit of randomness, here’s some random examples:

• I have a modest collection of handheld devices designed to emulate classic video games, but they often need better firmware, more games and emulators (within reason) ported to them, or both. For example, an alternate firmware for the (completely abandoned) PocketSprite that could connect to your home WiFi and download games from a samba share on demand, and keep the most recent games cached for playing on the go. (this would mitigate the extreme lack of storage space and cumbersome file transfer problems it has.)

• More/Better PostmarketOS ports. This is a Linux distribution designed to run on as many devices as possible (specifically targeting phones but also open to other devices categories) to keep them running, updated, and usable until they physically fall apart. Although very weak by today’s standards, I’d get a kick of seeing it running on my C.H.I.P. Computer, my OLPC, and my eink Nook tablet. The first one of these three has a port in progress already.

One last one because I keep getting interrupted and I lost my train of thought.

• Fan port of Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden to the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. Why?! Because the only meme that game doesn’t have is an “original” cannon port from 2033 with Blast Processing.

Edit: Oh, and more 64-bit ARM builds of the software I’d like to use.

FBReader might be an option. You can upload books using the FBReader Book Network, which uses your Google Drive as storage, and then use it to access your books and synchronize your progress across a variety of platforms.

I won’t lie, I got excited for a moment there because I thought that it was actually a gameboy advance game.

Is it possible to learn this power?

I wonder what’s with all the chain barriers.

There are many games that I loved and would enjoy playing for the first time, but I’m going to pick Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. My reason being that I spent the vast majority of the game waiting for it to morph into a spiritual successor of Super Mario RPG back when I first played it, rather than giving it a chance to stand on its own as a unique and hilarious game. My preconceived idea of what I hoped the game would be really hurt my initial enjoyment of it.

For a runner up, I’ll mention Kirby’s Dream Land 3. In the days of Blockbuster rentals, I’d rented Kirby Super Star first, so it took me a while to get used to the more traditional Kirby powerup system where copied abilities only do one type of action each.

It’s only one book, but in my childhood I read Wizard’s Hall by Jane Yolen, which takes place in a magical school.

First you need Testflight, which is an app you can use to test apps in development, even before they’re in the App Store. Then you come back to the message that you replied to and click open the Avalon app in the TestFlight app to accept the invitation to test it. Then you can install it from TestFlight.

Hello World

Ouch. Wish I’d been lucky enough to own a whole bitcoin.

I don’t think there’s a good way to accomplish this on a governmental level. But personally, I would’ve liked to not be exposed to it when I was.

I wanted to install it on my Pinebook Pro (AARCH64, with Tow-Boot installed to SPI) but I haven’t gotten it working.
