@etchedpixels @nina_kali_nina Sirius 1 was so totally underrated. I loved mine as a kid.

@nina_kali_nina Amazing achievement. I don't know how many of these Apricot PCs I had as a kid. By the late nineties I was buying them for £1 each 2nd hand as nobody wanted them (nobody could figure out why they didn't run PC software). I already had a couple of Sirius 1 computers, so I'd amassed a lot of "DOS compatible" programs that would work, and there was always the hope with every new PC you bought it would have some random new gem hidden on the HDD that you hadn't seen before.

@byorgey @dpiponi I read it about a dozen times. I thought I was being pranked until I finally read the alt text.

@garius This was a fantastic article. Where do I know your name from? Ever dev games? You TFT?

@danluu I work with parolees in the USA. They get a free "Lifeline" phone that the federal government gives away through 3rd parties on every street corner in poor 'hoods. These are: (a) the cheapest Chinese Android devices with the lowest spec; (b) only have 15GB of data a month. Not only are they painfully slow to use, the data is burned up by the 3rd day of the month due to huge Web payloads, and after that they can't fill out any forms for jobs, welfare, or navigate anywhere with Maps.

@swithinbank @kizu Nice! I didn't even know about this new unit. Now if only "grid-template-rows: masonry" would come out from behind the flags I would be very happy :)
