Moses Izumi (he/him)

moses_izumi@fe.disroot.org

My mind is a haze of swedish punk rock, fantasies about musclegirls, unhinged wordplay and strong opinions on portable electronics; along with slightly less stubborn views on software.<br/><br/>Figurative son of Noah Izumi (Public Universal Friend masking as a TV cop) and Sanctus Grobianus (patron saint of crudeness).<br/><br/>Honestly believe that if the Firefox OS team built their project around keyboard phones (maybe even added a website creation tool), it probably would&#39;ve found some success.<br/>There&#39;s only so much you can gain from putting a libertine operating system on a bunch of iPhone clones.<br/><br/>Writes Web 1.0 sites better than you (they&#39;re super raw, but some people like it that way).<br/>Has occasionally dabbled in gameplay mods for ZDoom (Doom is a very well

    &gt;Jesus was actually a form of yeast If my yeast was a master of parables I&#39;d dedicate my life to it as well. RE: https://woof.group/@Buster/116096848875159934

    What is the most powerful computer that can feasibly run off of two (or four, at most eight) AA batteries? I&amp;#39;ve considered getting a Game Boy Advance or Wonderswan so I can play those games in their intended environment: but I&amp;#39;d prefer something that&amp;#39;s more general purpose, complete with a keyboard. As for battery life, I&amp;#39;d expect the thing to last at least 4 hours. #askfedi #retrocomputing #permacomputing

    I&#39;ve heard of people putting Linux on their thermostats: but a Pentium 4 PC will always be a mighty spaceheater no matter what Operating System you&#39;re running. #permacomputing #retrocomputing #unixsurrealism

    My case for using privacy frontends (i.e Invidious and NewPipe for Youtube) is less about service providers tracking my steps and more about them using said information to bombard me with recommendations for baubles and propaganda. Using corporate social media is eerily close to getting blackmailed, or picking up a hammer that possesses you into slaughtering the woodshop teacher.

    @wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe My dad was fairly hands-off regarding what me and my brothers did on our computers, other than strongly discouraging us from playing World of Warcraft for being notoriously addictive and time-consuming. We didn&#39;t chat with strangers and got to see glimpses of the pre-social media/&quot;endless scroll&quot; world: so expecting your kids to move on and read a book, build with LEGO or play outside for the rest of the day was a viable tactic.

    @hikari@social.noyu.me The only reason it wouldn&#39;t be embraced by the Stallmanites is that Win32 is still a living platform (despite MS&#39;s attempts to replace it with UWP or whatever) and that Wine gets better compatibility when using the official libraries. An even funnier scenario would be if it went full circle and got ported to MS-DOS: anything recent enough to run a current Wine could probably run it under aHaiku or NetBSD just fine. I&#39;m more interested in using it as a contain...
