Trying out some games from the MacPack (Internet Archive) and look what I ran across, a Defender clone called MacLanding.
I wonder if this guy did any more programming for the Mac?

When somebody tells you they'll meet you in the Wal-Mart parking lot at 11 o'clock at night to give you a free Sony Trinitron, you go meet that person in the Wal-Mart parking lot at 11 o'clock at night for a free Sony Trinitron
My brother just had a pretty sweet come-up - 34" Samsung HD CRT for free fiddy. I know they can have wonky geometries for the older consoles, but PSX thru PS4-era consoles look gorgeous on em. I loved everything about my 27" Sony HD CRT except for its chonky 100+ lb weight

A stoppage is where a canal is impassable because something broke, burst or breached.
Some stoppages you can see coming. It's a gamble for Canal & River Trust: fix now or postpone? (See photo ALT text for examples.)
The UK's 1790s canals transported heavy or fragile goods. Now, canals mean leisure, recreation, fitness, mental health, beauty, waterside property value (tax), wildlife, eco-diversity, tourism.
Just passed through a lock full of large, floating branches—the size that sticks (pun) in lock paddles and prevents them from closing, so the lock leaks and cannot refill (serious issue).
Five minutes with a pole and hook cleared the lock chamber. The wood went into the hedgerow to close a gap.
Happy to do casual preventative maintenance so Canal & River Trust can do the more serious stuff.

But, Prof. Chibber, please allow me to respond.
FUCK YOU!
Maybe it it the "class and capitalism are all that matters" Left that has FAILED. Maybe YOU have failed to offer #BIPOC and other marginalized groups even one goddamn solution that would actually improve our lives and protects us from a #racist, bigotted #WhiteSupremacy which has existed and hurt us for centuries.
Shut your goddamn mouth whimpering about how #Woke and #CRT have ruined the Left & gave us Trump. That was YOUR team's fail.
Boating is easier than a few decades ago.
We used to read our Nicholson guide for clues about canalside shops. Now, GPS + a map app shows every nearby grocery shop.
For route planning, Open Canal Map integrates Canal & River Trust's warnings and closures.
Keeping dry is easier with Rain Alarm (Michael Diener's Android app), which shows waves of rain in advance, so we know when to take a break and when to resume boating.
New CRT monitor pickup! 19" Gateway 2000 EV900, manufacture date September 1997. Maxes out at 1600x1200 screen resolution. Has a pretty decent picture quality and geometry, no apparent defects after looking it over a bit.
This is far and away bigger and better than anything else I previously owned. Got it for a decent price compared to other local offerings. Looking forward to some retro gaming on this thing over the weekend!

I'm looking for a small (ideally up to 14" at most) CRT #TV that works correctly with my (RF) #PAL #SEGA #MasterSystem II at both 50 and 60 Hz (so it needs to have working #PAL60 support...)
Does anyone in Sweden 
has one to sell? 
(please boost...)

It's important to understand that even in the regime's pettiest acts of rewriting history, we can find clear evidence of their authoritarian, Christian nationalist intentions. When they attack trans history, it's because they're trying to erase the existence of trans ppl; whether you believe that ends in denying medical care and driving trans folks out of public life or genocide is largely irrelevant (I believe one leads to the other, and history agrees with me) - the intention is clear. When they erase the achievements of women in our national record, they're trying to craft a future where a woman's role in society doesn't include things like scientific discovery, political activism, or breaking gender barriers in new fields of achievement. This ultimately is why no erasure, no reconstruction of our collective history along white nationalist principles, is too small, or too petty for these fascists to undertake. Every action has a reason - even if that reasoning seems far-fetched to you, a relatively normal person who is not a nazi that obsesses daily about how to force everyone else to adopt their worldview to justify and sustain a permanent Christian Nationalist dictatorship.
Given that, the administration's decision to erase or minimize the involvement of Harriet Tubman, deny the struggles of enslaved Black people to liberate themselves from a society organized to keep them in racialized bondage, and stress the idea that emancipation was the result of white ppl GRANTING liberation to Black ppl in America, has to be understood as something beyond cruelty or a desire to protect white feelings. This assault on Black history and in particular, the shameful history surrounding racialized chattel slavery in America, is clearly part of a larger project to restore and entrench a white nationalist order.

"The National Parks Service webpage for the “Underground Railroad” used to lead with a quote from Tubman, the railroad’s most famous “conductor”, a comparison on the Wayback Machine between the webpage on January 21 and March 19 shows. Both the quote and an image of Tubman have since been removed, along with several references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
The Washington Post first reported on the changes. The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.” Whereas previously, the article started with a description of enslaved peoples’ efforts to free themselves and the organization of the Underground Railroad after the Fugitive Slave Act, the article now starts with two paragraphs that emphasize the “American ideals of liberty and freedom” and do not specifically mention slavery."
I don't think it's a secret that crackers in America hate the symbol of Black liberation that Harriet Tubman represents; we are after all talking about a woman who escaped slavery, lead dozens of other enslaved people to freedom, and helped John Brown plan and recruit for his raid on Harper's Ferry that some (myself included) would argue ultimately made the Civil War inevitable (which was a good thing.) Afterwards, she served as a scout in the Union army during the Civil War where she is credited with helping to liberate hundreds more enslaved people. After the war, Tubman's struggles to get recognized or compensated for her services to the government made it very clear how serious of a threat the white ruling class order of the day considered her. Towards the end of her life, she was also actively involved in the struggle for women's suffrage. So when modern day cracker fascists toss their spaghetti over Tubman potentially appearing on currency, or try to erase her from the story of abolition and emancipation, you have to understand that this has not only been a longstanding, important ideological goal for white nationalists, but also a question of destroying a symbol whose life encapsulates multiple aspects of the struggle against white supremacy and patriarchy; and Tubman didn't just struggle, she often won - that's not the kind of example a Christian Nationalist order wants to highlight as it imposes its will to fully restore sanctioned white supremacy as the official history and policy of the USA.
Speaking more broadly, the modern study of Critical Race Theory and thus the ongoing struggle for equality in the face of white supremacy by African Americans, rises out of the historical study of institutional slavery, discrimination, and exploitation of Black ppl by a white supremacist ruling order in America. If you change the story of slavery to credit white ppl for granting African Americans liberty, you knock out the evidentiary supporting plank and origin for the MODERN study of white supremacy, discrimination, and exploitation of Black ppl in America too.

"In 2022, conservative groups celebrated a 'great victory' over 'wokeified' curriculum when the Texas State Board of Education squashed proposed social studies requirements for schools that included teaching kindergartners how Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez 'advocated for positive change.'
Another win came a year later as the state board rejected several textbooks that some Republicans argued could promote a 'radical environmental agenda' because they linked climate change to human behavior or presented what conservatives perceived to be a negative portrayal of fossil fuels.
By the time the state board approved science and career-focused textbooks for use in Texas classrooms at the end of 2023, it appeared to be comfortably in sync with conservatives who had won control of local school boards across the state in recent years.
But the Republican-led state education board had not gone far enough for the conservative majority on the school board for Texas’ third-largest school district.
At the tail end of a school board meeting in May of last year, Natalie Blasingame, a board member in suburban Houston’s Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, proposed stripping more than a dozen chapters from five textbooks that had been approved by the state board and were recommended by a district committee of teachers and staffers.
The chapters, Blasingame said, were inappropriate for students because they discussed 'vaccines and polio,' touched on 'topics of depopulation,' had 'an agenda out of the United Nations' and included 'a perspective that humans are bad.'
In a less-publicized move, Blasingame, a former bilingual educator, proposed omitting several chapters from a textbook for aspiring educators titled 'Teaching.' One of those chapters focuses on how to understand and educate diverse learners and states that it 'is up to schools and teachers to help every student feel comfortable, accepted and valued,' and that 'when schools view diversity as a positive force, it can enhance learning and prepare students to work effectively in a diverse society.'"

Anyone know what the CRT refresh rate on the original Mac / Fat Mac / Mac Plus is? 60Hz?
I just bought one of these with the goal of cramming it inside a 8" #CRT to make an all-in-one. It's an Atom, which will run FreeDOS + SBEMU well.
Probably not battery powered this time
