It looks like colorForth runs in qemu or bochs according to documentation, so Proton/wine wouldn't be required.

Two things that carry negative sentiment in relation to HP:
HP acquired Palm for $1.2 billion in 2010, stumbled with a mobile product launch that was killed without much runway or developer investment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44270709 (article archived: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1jxp06mns) - This no doubt soured people who cared about Palm.
HP were known for carrying Intel's Itanium business, for which few tech people have nostalgia for (the second hand market prices have always been eye-watering too), compared to the older PA-RISC line.
I'll agree their consumer/business laptops were always been perfectly usable and long lasting. I dumpster dived an excellent condition pentium 3 laptop from a HP Office that was probably thrown out because of a password locked BIOS (which was not resettable by battery removal, only by getting access to someone who had the bios password serial->keygen tool). It was a great daily driver with Debian, and wifi worked fine with ndiswrapper.

Despite originally saying it was a perk of graduation, mine ended cutting access after 10 years by citing cost saving (I imagine Google Workspace bills add up quickly, compared to self-hosting email). I wouldn't be surprised if this is the trend now.

Historically speaking, GHC has had C backend option to facilitate porting.

> -fvia-C
> Use the C code generator. Only supposed in unregisterised GHC builds.
> This is the oldest code generator in GHC and is generally not included any more having been deprecated around GHC 7.0. Select it with the -fvia-C flag.
> The C code generator is only supported when GHC is built in unregisterised mode, a mode where GHC produces “portable” C code as output to facilitate porting GHC itself to a new platform. This mode produces much slower code though so it’s unlikely your version of GHC was built this way. If it has then the native code generator probably won’t be available. You can check this information by calling ghc --info (see --info).

> Gnome supports Google Drive, or at least used to, directly in Nautilus. I don't use Gnome, so I can't comment.
I'm using it right now. It is not particularly responsive (perform an operation and it looks like no operation is happening until the remote end responds) but works well enough for copying files in and out via nautilus if you don't expect instant feedback.

are there any limits around the number of files? The official linux client starts to bug out somewhere over 250k files and gets stuck on "syncing". Dropbox support have said they don't recommend more than 100k files.

> I remember painful memories of late 90s and early 2000s. Until DosBox, it was impossible to run DOS applications under Linux.
I seem to remember playing Commander Keen under DOSEMU seamlessly on a p200mmx with 64mb of ram. If this mail from 1999 is anything to go by, others were able to play similar vintage games:

It is not from anthocyanin. It is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phycocyanin.

> one of those dietary fat != blood/bodily fat type things.
What is meant by that though? Radio-labelling experiments do show that some dietary fat ends up as stored in fat cells.

A different study plans to evaluate Rapamycin for Alzheimer's disease, while being well aware of the positive effects on lifespan.

I use an intel nuc i3-7100U as a wifi to ethernet bridge for a Windows 10 machine (HP Elitedesk 8300 Core i5-3470). The nuc also serves as a htpc running libreelec.
Why? I tried 4 different USB WiFi dongles with different chipsets spanning ~11 years and each one would end up being the cause of intermittent blue screen of death. The dump file backtrace repeatedly pointed to the usb-wifi stack.
