Story A: He was made a Sierra employee, and then later they found out he was disgraced and forced to quit as police chief.

Nope, the reverse of that… :|

Infinitely empty AFAIK.

Interstellar space is similar to atoms and the electron cloud, some tiny amount of matter and a whole heap of SFA.

(Someone get at me with the actual numbers, but I’m leaning toward space being more sparse by percentage than an atom.)

The main solar system objects were accounted for and closely avoided, now it’s a very roomy area to float through alone.

Best way of playing Wipeout these days?

So…after watching latest Noclip video, I was having a bit of a Wipeout itch…I have a rather decent gaming computer, but I was wondering what would be the best way to play the wipeout series…was 2097 the best one? Is there a good way to get it running at decent resolution/effects these days?...

The

Yeah, Knoppix was kind of a ‘Tucows vibe’ distro. Pretty approachable.

Zen Linux was another short-lived 2005 liveDistro, which had a nice feel and Art.

Also, installing all trisquel.info versions side-by-side and doing a 17 year fast-forward would be cool.

Audacious is already an open-source audio-player, that can display these 98,000 .wsz Winamp Classic skins, today.

Strawberry looks very polished. I’m going to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

ace_garp,
@ace_garp@lemmy.world avatar

Update:

Found 2 new players today.

Clementine (the player that Strawberry is forked from), it’s awesome. Thanks for the info to find this player.

Also cmus, which is a console music-player, and basically looks like vim for audio files.

Numpty Physics, Box Stacker(Fdroid) or Neverputt are all pretty fun.

PowderToy is excellent as mentioned above.

DebianJr is the easiest pre-packaged distro for kids 7-12.

Under 12, I would keep it fully offline(remove NIC or blacklist MAC address.

Install a local wikipedia instance (or simple-wikipedia) for reference, and give them thumb drives/DVDs for media.

For the fully libre start to life, install Trisquel GNU/Linux and use the DebJr package list to install required software.

Audacious can correctly read and display winamp skin files (.wsz).

Get them from archive.org

97,133 search hits for ‘winamp skin’ are listed.

One of the old classic skins was sketch_skin

In Australia, the high concentration areas of PFAS chemicals come from fire-fighting activities, that have sprayed or dropped aqueous film forming foam (AFFF).

From page 3 here: www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01402-8

—+±–

PFAS chemicals build up from training drills around airports. Which may then leach into groundwater. PFAS containing firefighting foams were used until 2010. Details from this 2018 article:

Expect automates things, based on text-input captured from a terminal.

Not sure if it has been extended/hacked to take sound as an input.

ace_garp,
@ace_garp@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, using bash on all boxen.

Scripts start with #!/bin/sh ,because, that gives quicker execution times.

Any simple aliases, I put in .bash_aliases

Tried tcsh and zsh around 30yrs ago, all bash since then.

ace_garp,
@ace_garp@lemmy.world avatar

I chmod 755 each manually. I’ve never tried the automatic way, sounds easier.

alternativeto.net has some amazing content.

This list of fdroid apps is the best overview that I’ve found so far:

I’m not the author of the the list, I just recommend it when appropriate.

(c: I use and prefer Equate as my converter app too.

Driving:

Stunt Car Racer (Amiga)

WipeOut 2097/XL (PSX)

Both are top-tier racing games.

BRR is a goofy fun time.

Also:

Slicks ‘n’ Slide (Dos)

Super Cars II (Amiga)

and Race Drivin’ (but only in arcade or with proper steering/gearstick setup, joystick may not do for this one)

Oh yeah, Amiga ftw.

So much gold.

Text-based games!(?)

Even though we got a computer in the mid to late 90’s, a shitty DOS-box that no-one kind of really knew how to do anything with, I was infinitely interested in anything to do with it. I remember playing Guerrilla Wars and some dungeon crawlers on it and such, but I feel like I almost entirely missed out on text-based games. I...
