Used my physical licensed copy of #WordPerfect of course! Well, almost. I have the software but I’m keeping the original 5 1/4” floppies in their sealed bag. The F keys template and manual are getting used though! 😋⌨️📖
That time I took the #FreeDOS 23rd anniversary PDF and made it #DOS accessible by recreating it as a TXT file (with search based tags for navigation), and also a #WordPerfect 5 document that preserved the PDF layout as much as I could manage. ;) (Jim Hall helped out by providing text copy used in the PDF.)

@notroot @mikemathia Sad. Well, we became netizens fresh from decentralized BBSes and then the larger centralized dial-up communities before it turned into a mix of insulated yet service centralized like Geocities. We might know of the balance to strike and hopefully encourage others.
It's one thing to plant grass roots. But it's another to submit ALL to One Corporate Host.
@chhopsky Ugh. Geo locked and time limited licenses are the worst.
@ElliTheSunbear The flower dress is my fave. So cute!

I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. So next time you hear about famous men in #science share her remarkable story.
@chhopsky Oh no!!! 😭 I hope you can find another copy!
I have a new friend coming over on Saturday for a pop-culturalization because he has never seen:
Any Star Trek.
Any Star Wars.
Any Lord of the Rings movies nor books.
No Knight Rider.
No Princess Bride.
No Monty Python Holy Grail
Nor...
...
Firefly! GASP! *screeeeeaaaaammmmmm*
I don't know how he's alive, nor how he can even think because my mind is naught but pop-culture quotes, but his blank-slate torture is coming to an end. I will save him.
What should I have him watch first?
@chhopsky do you know if innovations/changes to the main code branch happens a lot on instances?
@chhopsky when I get that on other people's posts, I only have to provide my @name@server and it works if my login session is active. I don't have to relog.
Maybe Librem.one added some quality of life there.
@chhopsky is there a privacy setting turned on? If I open my posts in a browser, without login session, it displays. Hmmm.
Test: https://social.librem.one/@ellabellafull/109381847025887327
Do different instances have different policies that would prevent URLs from working?
@chhopsky Might be a step more to search for what server to join people in other services, but it's the same login sign up web and mobile experience.
Just heard about Hive Social. Why would people go to yet another proprietary closed source platform? Have they learned nothing?
