You open up a Commodore 64, and the box says "welcome to the world of friendly computing."
You turn on a modern PC, and it immediately threatens your data unless you agree to save your data to *their* cloud service.
That right there is why we talk about vintage computers. Folks need to be reminded of what's possible.

Anyone know the fastest/easiest way to make a game for the #c64 ? I know a little basic (but even then it's pretty slow I've read) and don't really want to learn assembly.

I asked ChatGPT and another AI to generate qbsh scripts and even gave it commands like CALC and PIP to incorporate. It clearly had bash in the crunchbang. When I suggested it wasn't qbsh, it apologized, removed that line and told me it was more using correct syntax and not "bash built-ins" and hallucinated qbsh commands that don't exist like GREP. It was pretty hilarious.
Close to none of this is true whatsoever. It was partly inspired by #Commodore64, but also by CP/M. And while #qbsh does support basic scripting, it is very much not BASIC compatible with any retro BASIC platform.
qbsh won't teach you to program in #BASIC by using it, even though it is #opensource and written in QBASIC, but to that end, qbsh won't teach you how to code in BASIC any more than #bash will teach you to code in C.
I asked #GoogleBard to generate an image of a "Commodore 65". It's about as cursed as you might imagine.
Commoode! 😂

Look what I just found and bought from the back of a local comic book store! Gonna see if I can get my #Commodore64 and my #OsborneOne talking to each other!
Seriously thinking of what it might be like to have an immutable OS that just drops you into #qbsh. Like, go full on #Commodore64, #Atari, #Apple with it - boot a ROM that drops to a BASIC shell. Like, we take #Linux, and throw POSIX out the window, and include bash for the sake of compatibility and to offload IO that hasn't been natively implemented yet. Using something like #Fedora IoT for the base with automatic updates and using qsh scripts as much as possible for background operations.
Looking for a recommendation for a practical and space efficient way to store/present several dozen #Atari 2600 cartridges. Bonus if it also support Atari 400/800/XE, #Commodore64, and/or #Sega Genesis (aka MegaDrive) games.
Ideally, something to sit on top of a next to the TV, stacked vertically.

Just look at all this glorious processing in-line processing. It almost makes me want to port bashtop/bpytop to the #Commodore64. This is awesome!
Here's what I'm hoping for:
@[email protected] Pi500, with:
* 8GB+ of memory
* USB-A, USB-C, and Ethernet ports
* An optional #Commodore64 inspired case variant with built-in mechanical keyboard.

@[email protected] sometimes I think about what i call (in my mind) “the great rethink.”
What if we outlawed Unix, C, SQL, and TCP/IP, and HTML? (Reimplement any of these is also illegal)
What new solutions would emerge? What patterns would go away?
I can dream, at least.

@[email protected] You mean going back #BASIC or to BBS from an #Atari or #Commodore64 ? I hate to tell you this, but a number of us on #Mastodon are already doing this of our own weird volition 😅 .
I've had enough of #Linux for the week. We should I do on #Commodore64, #Atari, or #OsborneOne this afternoon?

We should normalize "stable gamers" - gamers who play stable games on good old Intel GPU and enjoy it :)
I am still playing Neverwinter Nights on my X1 Carbon sometimes. It works quite nicely.
Pillars of Eternity on the other hand has been broken and fixed twice already. I have to check it after every Fedora update to avoid surprises.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Heh, I'm still playing games on #Atari and #Commodore64 over here - on original hardware!
