I think this is very impressive. I remember from eons ago people were running Linux on Amiga, but then it was the later models with 68040 processors with more RAM.
As far as I remember no one ran it on a 68000 with 2 megabytes of RAM.
Could Linux today run on an Amiga 500 with RAM expansion, in this same way?
Go back in history, why did Microsoft create xbox at all?
It was Bill Gates fear of being overtaken by some "living room PC" or set top box that never materialized. It was an industry wild goose chase basically, with echos of past efforts (remember Philips CD-i ?)
Is this a concern Microsoft has today? xbox was a money sink from the beginning.
The sad part is they bought a bunch of very good game studios.
Yes all the time. Healthy conversations are shut down immediately with the "AI research" slop-wall.
Meetings are 55 minutes of speculating about what AI will be able to do in a few years. Then if you are lucky the last 5 minutes can be used to discuss a real issue.
A critical part that is somewhat lost when running this in a terminal is how the mouse behaved on a real text mode screen. It was a yellow block that you moved with the mouse not a mouse pointer.
Anyone tested to run this on a high resolution Linux text mode with GPM?
Developers (even web developers!) were familiar with XML for many years before JSON was invented.
Also "worse is better". Many developer still prefer to use something that is similar to notepad.exe, instead of actual tools that understand the formats on a deeper level.
