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.

IMO: It just goes to show how needed this was and how many people were putting off or simply not getting dental work done because of the cost.

Dental Care should be included in our Public Healthcare system. No separate system.. just part of healthcare.
Period.

Half of requests for complex dental work are being rejected under national insurance plan | CBC News

The Canadian Dental Care Plan requires extra paperwork for complex procedures like crowns or dentures. Providers say the process has been overly complicated and slow.

I absolutely love early HD footage and this 1992 video of Tokyo is a real treat!

Today, in “signs it’s time to put down your old computer for the day and go to bed”:

Going to insert my SD card back into my Mac SE’s BlueSCSI through the expansion slot hole (this one: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1232747165/bluescsi-bracket-for-macintosh-se-se30) after transferring some images.

Somehow I manage to insert it _above_ the actual SD slot and drop it inside the case. And now it’s midnight and I really don’t want to take the SE apart again 😅

The Pig and her poster have been reunited. MissPiggy ran XENIX-11 at Microsoft from 1979 to 1987. These days, misspiggy runs Version 7 UNIX from which XENIX was derived and its disks are virtualized so they can run under simulation and the real hardware.

Please support our preservation efforts at https://icm.museum

We have a partial backup of MissPiggy and one day hope to run XENIX-11 on it once again.

@cjust I feel seen.
@Sempf and if you stand up; heard.
@cjust My knees play Metallica so now I'm in huge legal trouble.

@danbeeston Fire bad! FIRE BAD!

@danbeeston @cjust I need to have a Napster now.
@cjust hey! this feels like a personal attack. I just sprained my knee the other day and it’s still healing…
@cjust I am in this toot and I don't like it :)
@cjust I dunno about sounds, but I definitely feel it
@cjust the knees are silent. But I make an "oof!" sound.

@AbramKedge classic "Dad noises"

https[:]//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayq3CxfB0Ak

@cjust Fair. A few decades ago my son used to shout "Say OOF daddy!" as he jumped on my stomach.
@cjust Could you not call me out like that, please and thank you? 😭
@cjust Ha! No, they only make a noise when I walk! I still got it.
@cjust after napster was killed, it seems I downloaded version 2.6.3. (I can set up a torrent if anybody wans to try it)
@moritzboth do you think that it comes with a companion installer for "Bonzi Buddy"?
@cjust They crack so hard! 😆

@cjust

1. What knees?
2. I had actually forgotten what LimeWire was.

@cjust

If you know who Vera Lynn was, you probably can't hear the noise your knees make when you stand up.

@CppGuy @cjust
Nobody here remembers Vera Lynn, or how she said that we would meet again some sunny day.

@bruce

Vera! Vera! What has become of her?

@cjust

@CppGuy @cjust
I know, man. I feel the way you do.
@bruce @CppGuy @cjust oh man I love Peter Frampton too

@cjust Naw they don't, thankfully. My back is also in tip top shape.

Thank you, futons & tatamis.

*I say this now and I'm gunna fall and get a knee injury...

@cjust Hey, I am in this post and I don't like it.

Also, I cannot get up off the floor now.

@cjust leonardodicaprionarroweyes.gif
@cjust I'll have you know they don't.
My ankles on the other hand...
@cjust
Or your knees get you wanded by TSA.
@cjust Not yet and I am not looking forward to it!
@cjust ...when you can actually stand up.
@cjust I mean.. yes one of them ever since it got damaged when I was fourteen and that’s only about 24 years in the past.
@cjust My doctor describes it as "a typical level of arthritis for your age".
@cjust I laughed so hard at this; it's funny because it's true.
@cjust Sad follow-up: LimeWire is back as a service. ​
