Both of these offer persistence. With Puppy you can choose when you shutdown to save. I think PorteuX works the same way.

Puppy and Porteux

I’ve only tried Puppy but PorteuX offers more DEs.

I don’t know who those people are. But I clicked on the link. The people in the photo, they look precisely as I would have imagined them.

DistroWatch has a filter for that

Try be sure to include various DEs or WMs for your friend to see (KDE, Xfce, GNOME, LXQt, and maybe a tiling WM?)

Late 80s

Accelerated Mobile Pages

Main issue, for me at least, is about locking publishers into a Google-built version of the Web that generates less revenue for the publisher and sometimes uses more data for the end user.

I found Iconoclasts to be pretty uplifting to play. The ending is marvellously satisfying.

The Shantae games are good.

Disney Illusion Island fits in here too.

Excellent game. Still never quite finished it. I think have 3 screens left.

Le pharmacien ne voulait pas me faire les 2 en même temps. J’ai pas râlé

J’ai eu mon vaccin contre la grippe ce matin et j’ai pris rdv pour le COVID. Je n’ai pas de problème de santé mais j’ai déjà eu 2 ou 3 fois cette merde et éviter les formes graves est une priorité pour moi.

Butterball frozen turkeys are like 25% water, sugar, and salt. They’re nasty. That’s what I grew up on, And I thought they were the best of the best. One at Thanksgiving and another for Christmas! So great, plus the price is right, turkey is turkey, right?

My mother mocked me for buying something else one year, so I can understand why people would be shocked. The waited too long, they have no backup, they think that having meat is a requirement of a healthy meal…

But these birds aren’t worth the electricity used to freeze them.

You might have to bring this question over to the Debian Forum. I don’t work with servers, but as noted above this sounds like a situation where you need to install a newer version of the kernel.

You could try using the Testing ISO https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting

I’m tracking sales on dekudeals for the moment but I did get copies of Raiden IV (which is definitely something I enjoy), Ando Dunos II ( still can’t beat the boss rush to unlock the last levels) and GreyLancer.

I’ll probably pick up Strikers 1945 II this week since it is on sale.

I’m just patiently waiting and also considering grabbing some physical copies of games that I’ve seen for sale on local marketplaces (Sophstar and Mushihimesama).

Not even a third of the way through… Holy crap.

Oui, c’est vrai. Mais c’était pratique. Je m’en servais surtout pour avoir le solde de ma carte ticket resto.

Je suis d’accord, mais j’aimerais quand même connaître mon solde via SMS comme avant.

Il y a toujours quelques téléphones KaiOS, S30+ et Mocor qui traînent

I only know Infinitime, wasp-os has some games.

I think it is a blurry line.

Video games have always used terms like “next generation” in marketing, so that does have an influence. My students think PS4 is retro. They think iPhone 13 is retro!

When I was in my early 20s we didn’t consider CDs retro or vintage, and that was the early 2000s when the tech was around 30 years old.

Before we also had big jumps, or at least we were told they were big jumps.

Analogue to magnetic tape to digital 8-bit to 16 to 32 to 64…

If I had to write an essay on the topic, I would focus on the aspect of “the way things were…” Meaning that something could be thought of as retro if the process of making it work vastly differs from the current process.

The PS2 didn’t have HDMI, but it did have internet connectivity. There were wireless controllers, but they were a little different from today. The TV was probably a CRT so you had to change the channel to make it work. Magazines still had demos sold with them…

My conclusion: a young person can probably figure out how to get a PS2 up and running, so it isn’t retro technology, it is just retro gaming.

I don’t want to make generalisations. I have worked with people from all around the world as a teacher at an international business school. A thing that comes up quite often is a certain close-mindedness of people in China. I never would have noticed this myself, but it was my own students from China that mentioned it to me. I’ve only been to China once for 3 weeks and I while talking to people I did hear some comments about other nationalities that made little sense historically. My friend that I was visiting there basically said that anything bad that happens in China is caused by foreigners or Uyghurs which sounds like BS to me.

Why a child, though? That’s some evil shit. Get that person’s phone and look at ther social media, I bet their WeChat is filled with anti-Japanese shit.

The majority of my international students are very worldly and open-minded, and every year there are more like them.
