to me it seems odd [to make](https://play.date ) a quirky handheld like the #PlayDate to begin with.
At a price point of $199 + taxes, customs and shipping, this thing is [$20 below](https://store.analogue.co/#pocket ) the #AnaloguePocket and since #PricesSetExpectations, it feels like a bad value proposition.

Genausowenig wie ein "Sieg" von beiden Seiten gewollt ist:<li>Netanyahu würde ausm Amt fliegen und im Knast landen weil dann Kriegsrecht ihn nicht schützt.</li><li>Hamas würde ihre selbsterklärte Daseinsberechtigung verlieren, wenn diese keinen imaginären Feind mehr hat.</li>
Dementsprechend ist sowas wie #O7 politisch gewollt, und deshalb sind die Israelis auch stocksauer!

I started @npub13p4…wtch before #Microsoft released #MSDOS under a permissive #FLOSS license and I doubt it's possible to fiddle-in #toybox and other #unix-esque tools under #DOS...<li>Because as nice as <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DOS</a> is, a somewhat modern <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Linux</a> is way more <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/versatile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#versatile</a>... </li>
That being said I do think that MS-DOS 4.0 being released and people working on it is a net positive for the #RetroGaming community and will allow people to basically build new #WeeCee / #Wee86 - Style #MiniPC|s without relying on Microsoft not caring about piracy of EoL'd Windows Versions at all...

#Windows11 is already worse than that and I feel it's high time shit like that gets criminalized...

remember: all these issues exist not because they are "unfixable" or "unavoidable", but because they are *politically desireable*...
It's always the same: <li>Billionaires (and Wankers) sit on a table with 9 other people, and 10 cookies.</li><li>They take 9 cookies and then scream "Oi! The queer / migrant / jewish / communist / ... is stealing your cookie!" to them whilst pointing to someone.</li><li>whist they start fighting each other, the Billionaires lay back and eating the cookies like popcorn.</li><li>By the time they've likely killed the singled-out minority they'd get set against the next one.</li><li>This continues until there's only one left or noome.able to beat each other up or the Billionaire got bored and now goes to drink half a liter of water because eating 9 hand-sized cookies really is filling...</li>

personally, I'd love to see more of those developments because getting #NewOldStock or #KnownWorking #used #RAM can be a real nightmare and having something where one at worst can just chug a #PSRAM chip on, set a #DIP to limit it's size and a connector for the refresh power if needed may be a better option long-term...
Espechally with those super old systems where all the RAM modules are just on a single bus / channel and thus unless it's like #Rambus garbage one doesn't even need to terminate contacts but could in theory just make a system believe it's *"fully stacked"* with a single SIMM.
It'll also help people like [@ActionRetro](https://bitbang.social/@ActionRetro) having to [cannibalize machines to max some out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1XyeU6YyuE&t=640s)...
Also yean, some nice #NeoRetro #8bit machines would benefit from it as well...

Sorry for the delays but I've had to work on some things that prevented me from working on @npub13p4…wtch ...
https://github.com/OS-1337
I've had to basically [fork](https://github.com/OS-1337/mlb ) the #mlb #bootloader because it is basically unmaintained...
...after all #syslinux [wastes ~ 200kB of space](https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/issues/10 )...
Now this is kind of a mess but I've to sort this out...
On the flipside I did build mlb so everyone can [just yoink it](https://github.com/OS-1337/mlb/releases/tag/v0.0.1 ) for their minimalist distro needs...

@npub1pdy…cay2 NO, YOU CANNOT USE @signalapp@mastodon.world WITHOUT A PHONE NUMBER!!! *
They still require a phone number as they still do restrict the functionality of their App based off the phone number given!
Also we've all seen that #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solutions are inherently bad - so why should anyone use #Signal over #XMPP+#OMEMO or XMPP+#PGP/MIME ???
#Signal, like every provider in the #USA, is subject to #CloudAct ** and will obviously hand over the #metadata they collected without legitimate interest if told to do so. ***
After all, clients like @npub1zj3…sm9p ' #monoclesChat **** make XMPP w/ OMEMO and PGP/MIME extremely user-friendly...
Im many juristictions, you cannot legally obtain an anonymous prepaid SIM legally! *****
