My biggest gripe with the #software industry, why adopt big complex bulky clunky tool when the simple tool works well?

Just some history on how/why that beautiful #Nintendo design for their DSi XL/LL handheld came to be!

Literally designed to look like a bowl full of water (which clearly I love)

Yet again, my favorite #gaming stories are the ones you tend to overlook, like this one!

I've been wanting to try out this language. Maybe I'll go ahead and do it already.

I tried out #simh with #Unix 5 and 7 today. A remarkably modern operating system, though even the later version 7 lacks a lot of modern quality of life features that can be found in #Linux thanks to #bash. It's also cool to see how #C evolved from 1974 to 1979 to the first ANSI standard C89. It was far more simple in 1974, though I'm glad it evolved over time.

Spotify is tightening the screws on its API, requiring Premium accounts and limiting new apps to just 5 users. It's a classic example of why building on closed platforms is risky.

Open-source alternatives like Navidrome let you keep your music library without worrying about corporate gatekeepers or API rug pulls.

Spotify changes developer mode API to require premium accounts, limits test users | TechCrunch

Spotify is now limiting each app to only five users, and requires devs to have a Premium subscription. If developers need to make their app available to a wider user base, they will have to apply for extended quota.
