@256 it was my last phone before a certain 'iphone' turned everything upside-down

@256 I think I had this bad boy 😅

@256 I still have mine, I upgraded to Nokia N900 which i used for 5 or 6 years before finally moving to android.

@256 I hear the latest Doom release can almost run this at 20 fps!

@256 I suspect @dangillmor maintains this position some 24 years later. It’s not like the industry has changed in that respect.

LMAO @256 isn't that @dangillmor?!?!? of course he's never obsolete.

@256 omg @very_soft_particles 2000

@256 childish psychedelia over material design any time

@256 Remember when every trip into network properties required a reboot? 😌

@256 if firefox is so good, then wh–

@256 can we go back to single-digit major versions? 🥺

@256

Bluecurve was the very best theme. Adwaita can go cook an egg.

@256 totally forgot about that one! i used it for a long time

@256 Aw gosh, I remember this! Used it for ages on my iBook.

@256 I remember when having T1 access was such a Geek flex.

@256 I started with a 300 bps "Akustikkoppler".

@256 now imagine the bandwith of a freighttrain, loaded with LTO 6 tapes ^^

@256 The only software I know of that lets me boot into a Linux on my Toshiba Windows Tablet since its own bootloader is limited to booting into Windows. As far as I can tell, it doesn't let me choose where to boot from, so Wubi helps with that

@256
Wubi is what freed me! Changing OS is always a step into the unknown. Wubi made it easy to peek behind the curtain.

It's important to realise how big a barrier there is. Users are very familiar with installing programs. So installing Wubi was much the same. Something easy to try out ,with no commitment.

@256
That was my first Ubuntu experience.

@256 false, computers do not work.

@256 As a computer science professor, I have to say, even after all these years, this is still the best explanation of how computers work!

@256 even back then they knew of the importance of Mastodon!

@256 Aw Man i loved this game when i was younger. There was also the Animation version with the Cat and Mouse i just cant remember the name

@256 Has anybody ever made an open source remake?

@256 oh my god you can’t just post this on a Monday

@256 I was worried it wasn’t safe.

@256 Ah BeOS... Man it had so much potential. If only Be hadn't wasted resources pivoting toward the internet appliance fad...

@256

@nitrofurano xiii, a nostalgia! :D

@256 What is “PoorMan”?

@256
BeOS was fucking awesome

@256 Careful, if you wait too long to save Earth, this happens.

@256
One of my all-time favourite games!

@256 I remember playing this on the Macs my old elementary school had. Loved it as a kiddo!

@256 One of my favorite games of all time! Neat image stitch too.

@256 Such a fun game, spent many hours on the various scenarios.

@256 Created by the legend that is Chris Sawyer.

@256
Man, it's been a while

@256 I'm biased but I always eye-rolled at most of their ads (disclosure: I had a personally incendiary loathing for PC management for a litany of reasons, both personal and professional) but found jabbing at MSFT always worth a chuckle.

@256 @tchambers I approve of your choice of spirit animal, though Apple’s many OS’s are fine for me 🙂

@256 back in the day i used to love this kind of graphics, they looked so dooope!

@256 @fasterthanlime “With curved surfaces and 24-bits textures, Quake III Arena is the best-looking game on the planet right now. It’s also hella fun!”

@256@mastodon.social REAL

@256 I worked for Microsoft running the helpdesk leading up to and during the Windows 95 launch. It was an incredible time. I had a blast, and the tech was FUN. It was SO different from what they'd done before. I miss the innocence of those days.

@256 Childhood memories! 😂

@256 This was an exciting moment for me.
