Picture of actual snake 

@thor Oh, yes, CDs are outdated. 128 kbps MP3/AAC streams on the other hand are pretty modern 🤣

@thor Yeah, both Live and Painter are not that old, it's just that I forgot I even had the boxes. We are past even that now — computers no longer have CD drives, it's all digital downloads now.

@gme Yeah, that's definitely where they "drew inspiration" from 😅
Other than interface being in Russian it was very similar.
@thor

@thor I got an idea to find my USB floppy drive, plug it into my not-so-modern Mac record a short video clip of it reading floppies. Didn't find it, gave up for today, but… That cabinet has lots of artifacts in it beside floppies: VHS tapes, boxed versions of Ableton Live, Corel Painter and… School Days VN, SCSI streamer tape drive, lots of manuals from the 90ies and whatnots 😂

@thor None other than Gabe Newell was responsible for porting Doom to Windows — as a part of MS strategy to make Windows take off as a gaming platform. No one wanted to move to Windows, gamers preferred DOS versions even if they had Windows ones and developers were reluctant to invest manpower in porting to Windows 🤷

@thor Nah, they say Internet keeps it all, but unfortunately that's not the case. I've had an instrument pack for Ableton Live stored on external HDD and the file got corrupted, I still have update for it, but the original file is nowhere to be found — this is not some third party pack, it's Ableton's, for their popular software and it was released ten years ago or so. If it's not some historic piece of software, but some obscure stuff from the nineties — forget about it 😢

@thor In early 90-ies I had Paintbrush for DOS and Russian painting software called Пихта (Pikhta) — unfortunatelly I can't find any traces of it on the interwebs, it didn't have colors, but had lots of these fill patterns.
Yeah, it was mostly DOS software, my HDD was 40 Mb, Windows 3.1 required 10 Mb — so did Alone in The Dark, the choice was an obvious one 🤭

@thor There was Paintbrush for DOS even before that 🧓

@vyivel This option is no longer on the table, unfortunately we blew our chance long time ago. The riot cops are numerous, well organized, armed and brainwashed — they'll shoot without giving it second thought. People on other hand are unarmed, unorganized, some are brainwashed by propaganda.
Mil. personnel (esp. untrained) isn't the only issue, they don't have enough military equip./ammo/tanks for this personnel to be effective. This war is lost anyway, but many will still die before it ends😭

@vyivel Indeed!
Either way we are doomed 😱
It wasn't about surrendering only. Refusal to go to army — not arriving at a rally point on time, deserting, refusal to carry out orders can get you sentenced for up to 15 years. Same as for murder.

@vyivel Their UI is just… odd.
This looks like the third hearing is underway, and what I underlined reads "Date isn't set" — for the third hearing.
In fact it passed already, now it has to be approved by the upper house and "the president".

@vyivel It actually passed the second and the third hearings today in the lower house of parliament. In less than an hour and a half. I don't know why the info on the website isn't updated, it's in the news.

@inference It does! Surf now just segfaults on me on opening DuckDuckGo 🤬

@david
She should have done a proper Shaft head tilt, other than that — perfect 🥰
@nerdtronics@mstdn.starnix.network

@hil Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't think all fats are bad, but it's still better to maintain proper balance. Like I said, eggplants take a lot of oil in when fried — like a sponge. And all that melted cheese…
Calling it VERY unhealthy was an exaggeration of course, a joke. It's fine to enjoy such meal every now and then, but not every day IMO 🤷
@yngmar

@yngmar Ha-ha-ha-ha! Right?
It takes somewhat more oil to fry the eggplant and cheese adds fat on top of that, but other than that, it's perfectly healthy 😉

@thor These used to be regular-sized wieners, but now they look almost like cocktail ones. Shrinkflation at its finest!
The bottle of oil I've bought a few days ago is also not 1 litre anymore, it's 810 ml. Why eight hundred AND TEN? There has to be some conspiracy behind it 🤔

@Pixificial It is! Lots of it, on eggplant too! Okay, maybe I overdid it, but come on, it's unhealthy, I had to go all in! 😅
