Upgraded my Casio F-91W with an Ollee Watch board today. Uses the original screen and battery, just makes it just a smidge smarter with a step counter, customisable LED colour, Bluetooth syncing with my phone and a bunch of other features I can decide to use or ignore. And the battery should still last months.

“Oh God,” muttered Ford, slumped against a bulkhead. He started to count to ten. He was desperately worried that one day sentient life forms would forget how to do this. Only by counting could humans demonstrate their independence of computers.

Ford carried on counting quietly. This is about the most aggressive thing you can do to a computer, the equivalent of going up to a human being and saying Blood… blood… blood…

It took two months for Github to remove a repo I reported for hosting a phishing page.

Two Months.

Luxtorpeda, the Steam compatibility layer for native Linux binaries and source ports, has moved from GitHub to Codeberg. They also now have a Ko-fi page for donations.

This popped up in my Youtube feed. A Star Trek spoof pilot for Fox directed by Jonathan Frakes with a bunch of sets, props and crew from DS9.

Terminal Fury now has a native Linux build included in the form of an AppImage.

TerminalFury: An OpenGL Terminal Velocity, Fury3, and Hellbender source port.

Not open source but the dev is looking for help, mostly with OpenGL stuff. He always sounds so tired on his update videos.

Should work fine on Linux and the Steam Deck through Proton. 'Terminal Velocity: Legacy' was available on Steam but I don't think the 'Boosted edition' will work. Fury3 and Hellbender I think are abandonware.

20 years ago we had Jet Set Willy Online, a multiplayer version of the classic ZX Spectrum game.

Now we have the release of a brand new multiplayer Willy game, Jet Set Willy Redux with builds for Windows, Mac, Linux, Steamdeck and Raspberry Pi.

I didn't have anything to do with this one, although it has long been a dream of mine. I just suggested a 'colour clash' display mode.
