On the Atari ST we had a boot sector virus that inverted the mouse Y-axis after some random time.

So annoying.

If you liked that and you haven't read it yet, give "Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward a read.

At least SFOS has been a viable daily driver since 2013, so there's that.

And SFOS can also run natively like on the PinePhone.

I can also chip in, fully agree with Aachen.

(and I've also made apps for things I'm missing on SFOS (Pushover client, Bluesky client), so Hi5!)

My eyes want a 19" laptop these days.

That's what I love running Android apps in Sailfish OS. I can just take these screenshots.

Then again, this is also what makes me almost throw my Android phone against the wall when I try to do the same on that phone.

The AI Challenges were so cool and I had hoped there would be more of them.

A "humbling experience" is definitely the right choice of words.

I did some minor work on a PoC for the one after Ants. It was multi-player (or: multi-bot) Asteroids but things fizzled out as most of the people organizing moved on to other things.

Well, the blog post is 14 years old.

It's an interesting showcase in how we (or at least I) assumed what the lifecycle of hyperlinks would be. (My assumption was they would perhaps 404 at some point, but not this.)

There's some minor issues with the blog post though that don't make it entirely correct Genetic Programming as written by Koza's. I'd have to dive into it again but I think it was either with the way mutations are done or how fitness is evaluated.

Anyway, it should be close enough.

Crypto is much easier to move around and, with some effort, convert into harder to follow cryptocurrencies.

Very few people will be their own bank.

Void Linux and now Guix have been a godsend.

Well, it has "NFT" in the name so it must be good!

And explains so much!

I never understood why he went back to Russia.
