Name a bigger downgrade than this.

Wie bewahrt ihr denn so eure Klamotten auf?

Warum heisst es eigentlich Formel 1 und nicht Kunstrasen?

"Die Deutsche Bahn muss ihre Tickets auch weiterhin auf Papier anbieten. Das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt hat dem Staatsunternehmen untersagt, Sparpreis- oder Supersparpreis-Tickets davon abhängig zu machen, dass die Kunden eine E-Mail-Adresse oder eine Handynummer nennen (Az.: 6 UKI 14/24)."

Tja.

Bahnticket nur digital: Pflichtangabe von E-Mail oder Handynummer rechtswidrig

Die Deutsche Bahn wollte ihre günstigsten Tickets ausschließlich auf digitalen Wegen vertreiben. Nach Kundenprotesten und einer Klage geht es nun wieder analog.

The European Space Agency invited me to their mission control centre in Germany to find out what it takes to be a Satellite Operations Engineer working on their new Earth observation satellite, BIOMASS.

Die Existenz eines Kruzifix impliziert einen vorhergehenden Kruzibug

Hilferuf:
Kennt vielleicht jemand zwei kräftige Personen, die dieses Laufband mit einem Gewicht von ca. 100 kg zwei Etagen runtertragen könnten? Mir scheint, dass man das am besten im Gurt trägt. Der wäre dann auch mitzubringen. Das Ganze soll in Berlin Lichtenrade stattfinden und selbstverständlich bezahlt werden.
Wäre nett, Ihr würdet boosten, sonst stehen meine Chancen vermutlich schlecht!

@Redfuchs unfortunately for me, I never played that game.

@Redfuchs that's better than my personal best

Though I was slightly handicapped, playing on a ruggedized laptop with the thick rubber keyboard

Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing Jul 2

@Redfuchs I just had to install it, after that. there's a #Linux port available as a flatpak

Rusty Corgi Jul 2

@Redfuchs I installed that from Flathub and play it constantly

meowmeltthumbsup

I also have the full game in Bottles, but the other tables aren't nearly as good.

Ruby Luftyloon 6d ago

@Redfuchs I totally didn't extract this game from a Windows XP install CD just to play it on a modern PC. Not at alllll, hehehe~

@foxyloon Ooh a very unique way of playing this!

Ruby Luftyloon 6d ago

@Redfuchs Thanks! Go figure I'd be enough of a nerd to actually know how to do that.

I also extracted the other games from that ISO too, like Solitaire, Freecell and Minesweeper. Got real sick of the ad-laden modern versions from the MS store.

Z Wolf @ Anthrocon 6d ago

@foxyloon @Redfuchs any chance you're willing to share with those of us who appreciate the classics?

Ruby Luftyloon 6d ago

@zwolf59661 @Redfuchs Sure, hehe~ Just a matter of Zipping them up.

Ruby Luftyloon 5d ago

@zwolf59661 @Redfuchs Oh! Someone's already done the heavy lifting and extracted all the WinXP games and uploaded them to Archive.org

https://archive.org/details/windows-xp-desktop-games

Despite the games themselves being Win32 apps, they still run on my Win11 PC no problem. :3

@Redfuchs like this if you didn't know that the 3D pinball version within windows XP was just a demo trying to get you to buy the full version.

@Redfuchs being able to replay this on Ubuntu is probably the best modern computer feature this whole year.
