Just a 30something Canadian dude from #VancouverIsland who's into #RetroComputing (mainly old #Apple / #Mac stuff), #Programming, and general #Technology enthusiast. Also love to #Travel!

I wrote a Mastodon client for vintage Mac computers, #Macstodon, which you can get from here: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon

Occasionally I’ll post about #Anime and #Gaming, especially #ZenlessZoneZero and #HonkaiStarRail.

I boost a lot. Boosts are not endorsements.

Trying To Find Meaning In Owning An Old Mac

My Dad got to middle age and restored a classic car. I got to middle age and following that pattern with a computer instead.

As promised: PartUtil a limited partition editor that makes dual booting DOS and Win 9x without a boot manager easier.

Hide, unhide and make partitions active. Save and restore MBRs to files. And a few extra tricks that help with initial setup. Runs on any PC compatible and any version of DOS. Source code included.

(I've been using an earlier version of this for years on a PCjr. This is a complete rewrite that is finally worth sharing.)

@janetlogan in reality painting ALL democrats with a broad brush is disingenuous. He is receiving endorsements from Democrats. Adams won last election without city wide support of all coalitions. Wiley ran as a progressive and was not able to get enough votes to beat Adams.
Winning elections is hard work. Zohran is working to win. Whining is not a winning strategy

“Whining is not a winning strategy” 😐

I have noticed this too, but there’s an awful lot of it about. It sure doesn’t do much against #AlligatorAuschwitz and the like. What are they thinking, what are they doing! (Don’t answer that: it’s all rhetorical!) 😐

@janetlogan I am disappointed at the lack of the majority of the political party I affiliate myself with to resist. There are a few exceptional people that do, that I see in the news, but the rest of them? Pah. Humbug. Disappointed. https://mrflash818.livejournal.com/307716.html

@janetlogan

It's a great meme. Some of the comments above are like, "not all Democrats...", and this is true. What needs to be acknowledged is this schism in the Democratic Party. Not sure the best way to label it? Centrist vs. Leftist is not right. Establishment vs. Insurgent also misses the mark. Old vs new blood, nah. Corporatist vs. ???

The GOP has been very successful with their MAGA branding. Any suggestions for what to call Democrats willing to stand up and fight for the people?

@bitsnpieces @janetlogan

Get what you mean, and it is certainly true of elected politicians, but that's what needs to change. We the people need to elect more folks who will stand up to what is going on. The point is that labels matter. "MAGA" worked for the GOP insurgency because it gave people a way to identify with their insurgent movement. Something analogous on this side would serve as a rallying cry for Democrats to hold their elected representatives accountable.
