| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I'm not sure you could call it "open source" as there does not appear to be an official license. | Oct 24 07:24 |
| IsambardPrince | But id software did release it publicly for the "fun of the community". | Oct 24 07:24 |
| IsambardPrince | And nobody seems to be preventing commercial use of it. | Oct 24 07:25 |
| IsambardPrince | ECWOLF is selling their improved version along with Super 3D Noah's Ark from Wisdom Tree Software. | Oct 24 07:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Wisdom Tree licensed the Wolfenstein 3D engine from id software. | Oct 24 07:26 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think id software really cared that Wisdom Tree made horrible games. | Oct 24 07:26 |
| IsambardPrince | By that point the Wolf3d engine was already obsolete and was never going to be used by id software again. | Oct 24 07:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Nothing on Super 3D Noah's Ark says anything about what engine it uses or id software. | Oct 24 07:26 |
| IsambardPrince | It wouldn't surprise me if id software made it a condition that they not mention it. | Oct 24 07:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Super 3D Noah's Ark plays basically like Wolf3d except that obviously it's a "Christian" video game for kids so there's no blood or Nazis or Hitler or anything. | Oct 24 07:27 |
| IsambardPrince | You play as Noah and you are going around a maze knocking out animals by launching pieces of fruit at them with a slingshot. | Oct 24 07:28 |
| IsambardPrince | It's bizarre. | Oct 24 07:28 |
| IsambardPrince | It's possible that ECWOLF will eventually play Corridor 7: Alien Invasion. | Oct 24 07:28 |
| IsambardPrince | I had that one too! | Oct 24 07:28 |
| IsambardPrince | I found it in the same bin. | Oct 24 07:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I think that Corridor 7 plays a bit better than Wolf3d actually. | Oct 24 07:29 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Did you have Corridor 7? | Oct 24 07:29 |
| IsambardPrince | One thing that made the transion to Windows Me and XP so painful was the lack of rebooting into DOS. | Oct 24 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Major publishers were still releasing DOS games in 1998 and 1999. | Oct 24 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They just told you to reboot the computer in DOS. | Oct 24 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I spent a lot of time in DOS because about half my games needed it. I | Oct 24 07:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I always really hated XP because I had to figure out how to get all my DOS stuff working again. | Oct 24 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It usually wasn't a huge deal. There was an add-on program for the Command Prompt called VDMSound. The biggest problem with running DOS games was Windows wouldn't let them touch the sound card. I think VDMSound emulated an old sound blaster and passed it through to Windows. | Oct 24 07:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I liked Windows 9x in a "worse is better" sort of way. | Oct 24 07:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I noticed that when I gutted Windows 98 of Internet Explorer + Junk and Crap and reverted to the Windows 95b explorer shell with RoM II, and applied the few remaining hotfixes that were still applicable, I almost never had a BSoD. | Oct 24 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I've had such a Windows 98 system up and running for over a year before. | Oct 24 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | But out of the box, as is, IE and everything, it was massively unstable. The retail version of Windows 98 usually crashed every day or two. | Oct 24 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Windows 9x had very small "resource heaps". Foisting Active Desktop and MSHTML into the shell caused horrible leaks. | Oct 24 07:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually the computer would start doing bizarre things then crash, no matter how much free RAM there was. | Oct 24 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Window titles and menu fonts would turn into strange gibberish or disappear entirely. New windows would open as transparent, empty outlines with no buttons inside them. Scrollbars would turn into flat gray blocks. You'd get that infamous, terrifying error dialog: "The system is low on resources. Close one or more programs and try again." Blue screen or hard freeze within 5 minutes. | Oct 24 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Without IE and reverted to the 95b shell, this just didn't happen. I suppose it could happen but you'd have to work on it. I recall opening the system resource monitor and hammering away opening random windows. | Oct 24 07:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I held on the keys to spam the desktop with new Netscape 4 windows until there had to be hundreds of them and then it finally did it. | Oct 24 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | But you really had to try. | Oct 24 07:42 |

| MinceR | lol | Oct 24 19:55 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, If you find the secret elevators in Wolf3d the game does get a lot more interesting. | Oct 24 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I had no idea those were in the game actually because I never found one until I was reading a game guide the other night. | Oct 24 19:56 |
| IsambardPrince | And the secret elevator levels have a lot of secret rooms. | Oct 24 19:57 |

| IsambardPrince | It has two elevators to exit the secret level, one on the left, one on the right. | Oct 24 19:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | such a lovely dad | Oct 24 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It's so hard to take this movie seriously though, because Hans Krebs is played by Ralf Kannes. | Oct 24 19:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It's difficult to take "Hans Krebs" seriously when they chose the same actor who played "Priest" in Lexx. | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Which was a completely unhinged TV show. | Oct 24 20:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Rolf Kanies? | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Oops. | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I bungled that | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I couldn't remember his name quite right. | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Anyway, I last saw him in Lexx. | Oct 24 20:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Like what, 4-5 seasons of Lexx | Oct 24 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Full of fart and poop jokes and gross out sex stuff. | Oct 24 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | It would probably appeal to Cum & Cheetos | Oct 24 20:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "" | Oct 24 20:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Kanies played Adolf Hitler in the American production Joe and Max" | Oct 24 20:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I couldn't see him as Hitler. | Oct 24 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> It would probably appeal to Cum & Cheetos | Oct 24 20:02 |
| IsambardPrince | So far the worst Hitler I've seen on stage and I hate to say this, was Anthony Hopkins. | Oct 24 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | http://techrights.org/n/2026/10/23/Intercontinental_Brigading_Part_XII_Lawfare_to_Cover_Up_Microso.shtml | Oct 24 20:02 |

| IsambardPrince | Every role Hopkins plays uses the same formula for a villain. | Oct 24 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | his gaze | Oct 24 20:02 |
| IsambardPrince | And while that works out well for Captain Bligh or Hannibal Lecter, it does not work for Hitler. | Oct 24 20:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I think they basically did a good casting job on The Bounty. | Oct 24 20:03 |
| IsambardPrince | But if I was doing the role assignments I would have given Fletcher Christian to Liam Neeson. | Oct 24 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They had Neeson on the cast but they shoved him to a background role because he wasn't a huge name at that point. | Oct 24 20:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They put Mel Gibson in the supporting role, and I feel that was the worst casting mistake they make. | Oct 24 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | As far as big name actors from the 20th century, I would say Mel Gibson is up there with William Shatner as one of my least favorites. | Oct 24 20:05 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not that either one of them are terrible at it, it's that I just don't particularly like their acting style in the roles they ended up in. | Oct 24 20:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Charles Churchill would have been a better role for Gibson. | Oct 24 20:07 |

| IsambardPrince | Most of the tasks I do with the computer are figuring out ways to run software that is 30 or 40 years old. You can do this on a Chromebook, but an iPhone can't do that. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Apple banned bittorent applications, emulators, all kinds of stuff. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | At one point they threw out VLC. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't want you using your iPhone to store local music and playing it, they want you paying $13 a month, every month, to play music you had on tapes and CDs 30 years ago. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | The $2000 iPhone doesn't stop there. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They rigged it to be a dumb terminal that can only do two things. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Charge your credit card and then stream something. | Oct 24 20:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Other than this, it makes phone calls and does text messages, like even the very cheapest phone can. | Oct 24 20:31 |

| IsambardPrince | I really only use the very most basic features of a smartphone anyway. So using an iPhone would only accomplish a few things. | Oct 24 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It would cost more, it would not integrate with my Chromebook or PC, and it would turn my text bubbles blue on other iPhones. | Oct 24 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean that's a pretty steep downgrade. | Oct 24 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Apple does all kinds of stupid things to create "I have one too." social pressure, like green text bubbles if someone is using an Android phone. The idea is that this is some sort of Game of Thrones thing where the Android guy is stripped naked an marched through town as people shout "SHAME SHAME SHAME" | Oct 24 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I recall one ex thought he'd get a Macbook Pro from a rental store. | Oct 24 20:37 |
| IsambardPrince | He went in, made one payment, refused to return it, and ended up in jail. | Oct 24 20:37 |
| IsambardPrince | They actually put him in jail for several months over a Macbook. | Oct 24 20:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Going to jail is one of the most traumatizing things, and then there's a criminal record, over a laptop, and it's a laptop where next year there's some new model, and 5 years from now it doesn't even work anymore. | Oct 24 20:37 |

| IsambardPrince | The reason that they stopped teaching people how to balance a checkbook is that once spending stops becoming something you have to reckon with immediately, it becomes this vague concept, then you spend more money because you don't know how much you have and paying for it is something that happens next month. | Oct 24 20:41 |

| IsambardPrince | The other one can't file. | Oct 24 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The Trustee would liquidate her house for the creditors. | Oct 24 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Hand her a $15,000 check for a house that's worth $280,000, pay the creditors. | Oct 24 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | There's your bankruptcy. | Oct 24 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Bankruptcy only works for people who are in the financial equivalent of the Nazis in Downfall. | Oct 24 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The Russians are blocks away pouding them with artillery and tank shells. | Oct 24 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | And the High Command have locked themselves in a bunker where they can live for maybe a week, with some cyanide capsules. | Oct 24 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Nothing left to lose anyway, so bankruptcy doesn't strip you of anything. It's a financial cyanide capsule. | Oct 24 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | It's the only escape from the banks. | Oct 24 20:50 |
| psydruid | > doesn't seem to matter, as linux has been fucked for years and free software is pretty much dead | Oct 24 20:50 |
| psydruid | I think there's a community that keeps the core tenets alive, even though the source code has gone to waste | Oct 24 20:50 |
| psydruid | but it's always been like this | Oct 24 20:51 |
| psydruid | the concepts are important, the exact source code not so much | Oct 24 20:51 |
| IsambardPrince | A bankruptcy is horrible because landlords see it and don't want to rent to you. Something designed to give you a fresh start can put you at risk of homelessness or dealing with landlords like Piyush Agrawal for many years. | Oct 24 20:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The ones who will approve everyone because the apartment is $1150 a month worth of cockroaches and black mold. | Oct 24 20:52 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-scheerpost.com | UK Announces It Will Officially Brainwash Children To Be Hateful Zionists | Oct 24 20:52 | |
| IsambardPrince | People who survive bankruptcy and are smart view money very differently. | Oct 24 20:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't go "Ohh, $2000 iPhone must have new shiny!" They go "If I buy that thing where will it put me? Will I be in eviction court? Will I be in bankruptcy court again? Will it put me under the apartment building in a dank basement that is making me sick because nobody else will rent to me? | Oct 24 20:56 |
| psydruid | even my mother still doesn't get it, which is why she'll be perpetually poor | Oct 24 20:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It's called Traume-Induced Financial Conservatism. | Oct 24 20:57 |
| psydruid | even the thought of "I can't spend more than my income" is foreign to her | Oct 24 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | This mindset is actually how financially secure people build wealth in the first place—focusing on cash flow, risk mitigation, and capital preservation rather than visual status markers. | Oct 24 20:58 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-maketecheasier.com | Reynold B. Johnson's San Jose team coated aluminum disks with iron oxide paint for the IBM 305 RAMAC in 1956, and IBM executives called the stacked-disk design the baloney slicer. It held about 5 megabytes and weighed more than a ton. - Make Tech Easier | Oct 24 20:59 | |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-maketecheasier.com | Erno Rubik built his first cube in 1974 as a 30 year old lecturer in Budapest, scrambled it and needed a month to restore it. In 2010 researchers proved any of its 43 quintillion states can be solved in 20 moves or fewer. - Make Tech Easier | Oct 24 21:00 | |
