No, it's a normal X session, these are patched dwm and patched st's. And tut that I have patched to use colour emojis. I think its colour emojis that make things look minimal, but not retro 😁
If I use TUI software and refrain from launching Firefox, this machine is quite usable TBH, and with w3m with sixel support you can even browse some web. Sure, not everything works, but it's bearable.

Mike Magee, one of The Register co-founders died 🥲
Not today, but I only found out now, when someone posted a link on HNews: https://fudzilla.com/news/59503-mike-mageek-is-dead

I really enjoy your choice of words, but isn't this how stuff always arrives from AliExpress? 🤣
@grey
It's the dev's call of course, decide what they spend their time on, but other software which I might use depends on it — often on the latest version (which is frustrating in its own way) which is broken or buggy 80% of time.

Sadly, it even made inroads into the software development side of things. Luckily I do not have to deal with npm shit, but it looks like a prime example of it: https://bvisness.me/microlibraries/
But it's not JS only — it's everywhere: Python, Go… I'm probably in the minority still using PowerPC and 32-bit Intel machines, but this "let's de-prioritise support for obsolete architectures and support Apple Silicagel instead!" pisses me off immensely.

Aren't these mass-produced (not in big quantities of course) and sold on AliExpress? 🤔
I think I've seen a disassembly thread of this thing somewhere here on Fedi…
But I don't mind of course — it's still a very cool product!

Well, it makes some people more bearable 🤭

Oppenheimer is sure not the best choice for a movie date 😂
@FrailLeaf
I refuse to!
The thought of arriving back in the eighties when smoking made you one of the cool kids seems more… inspiring 🤪

Smoking makes you cool again? What year is it? 🥴

Куда интереснее вопрос: «А зачем эта страна нужна их детям и им?» 😂

But this is still a good thing, right? Because apparently a lot of Western celebrities don't know whom they better stay away from, e.g. Seal: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/seal-takes-heat-for-serenading-chechen-strongman-466042/
“By going there, I played MUSIC for the Chechenyan people. I’m a MUSICIAN and would appreciate if you leave me out of your politics”,— OMG, that is so pathetic, especially the "leave me out of your politics" part🤦
@MK2boogaloo
Why is motion blur a good thing? 🤔
It might make things look more "realistic", but otherwise is one of the most annoying effects ever IMO
@sun
Subvert? I've always thought they have established it! Something offers you defence against DDoS — and suddenly it's everywhere, in just a few years it's nearly a monopoly! I can't imagine anything more fishy than that!
And revenue model is oddly close to "protection money", having extensive access to all that infrastructure they can organise the DDoS, then offer you a solution.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
