Nonsense like this is why I basically use my Mac as an expensive, overpowered music player and occasional build system. It's impossible to do actual work on these systems...

I strongly prefer freakin' Raspberry Pi OS or (gasp...) Windows to this 8-core frustration engine.

#macOS is a hot fucking mess...

Finishing up a #retro stream soon. Come check it out!

Streaming the #rainbow from here right now!

I'm late, but we still have some time for a #retro afternoon!

Finally have login and user authentication working on my distributed build system written in #fortran, including through the #gemini interface!

Through #gemini, it still uses username/password because I think client certs are dumb.

Posted an #atari Jaguar ad that has somehow survived 28 years in my possession...

Pretty deep into some #retro game dev this afternoon

WTF!?! We truly live in a hell-world…

What’s with #amiga peeps getting all worked up anytime someone mentions that #atari computers were heavily used for music production? Is it the end of the world if #atari machine excelled at something? Jeez, nobody was talking to you. Relax.

Starting up some afternoon #retro programming:

I just had a build fail because Apple removed #python from #macos... damnit!

Let's do some #retro game creation this afternoon!

So they don't actually "test" the OS down at #raspberrypi headquarters?

I think #linux might be the worst operating system I've ever used. Maybe #netbsd... It's a toss-up. But #macOS and #Windows are right there in the running too...

I hate computers so much.

My favorite part about the #raspberrypi OS 64-bit release is how it doesn't work with my monitor.

What’s with the popularity of compact keyboards? I honestly don’t understand. I use my number pad, and I fuckin’ love the arrow keys.

And don’t say “saving space.” Every compact keyboard picture I’ve seen show it sitting on a massive, minimalist desk.

Look at this beautiful #rainbow text output on a 19 inch panel!

Developing on a #rainbow is sooooo much nicer since I got an #ossc. Much better than a CRT.
