This has been bugging me as well.

Intriguing. I would like to see how the game fares on original Amiga hardware (040/AGA) because emulation doesn't really do justice with 3D games.

Lack of 120hz scrolling is a bummer, so LF feels somewhat sluggish on a macbook pro compared to other browsers.

I don't know. Maybe in the first couple of years?

But I think that the C64 compability of the C128 was detrimental. Because the C64 was so established it resulted in very little C128 native software being made. Publishers could just put a "C128 compatible" sticker on their existing C64 software.

That looks like a privacy nightmare.

They make it literally impossible to delete your old messages. It's a privacy nightmare and I wonder why the EU hasn't stepped in.

So in the future we can play FPS games given any setting? Pog

Try Phoenix Slides for this. That app is so fast!

The fun lies in the limitations :) 64k ram should be enough for everyone. Forget GHz, the CPU runs almost at 1000 KHz - luxury!

Why is this on HN?

Never heard of it. Just threw some very highres jpeg2000 images at it and wow, i am blown away. It runs circles around XnView MP (and preview) on these!! Thanks :)

I have not found a faster image viewer on Linux than 'feh'. And I've tried a lot.

I found ACDSee to be better than IrfanView.

There's a snap image of Foobar2000 for Linux which works very well :) My #1 music player.

For MacOS, I wonder if it's faster than XNView MP. This was the fastest image viewer I could find for Apple Silicon. Also are you running it through Wine on MacOS or how do you get it working?

Affinity as we know it is already dead. Canva is all about profit. Subscription model will be most likely be introduced in the next major version.

of course. big corporations only think about profit. affinity as we know it are dead.

thanks, we should all strive to keep HN free from clickbait titles

DVD? that's 3 generations ago

well written article. can so relate to this. i also held onto amiga for a looong time myself. what was a bit paradoxical, as the author mentions, was the lack of backwards-compatibility after you had pimped your amiga with an accelerator-card, RTG graphics and a 16-bits soundcard ++. it had become more of a PC in a way, but it was still running amigaOS. system-friendly apps that ran in workbench worked fine for the most part, but stuff that did trickery with the original/AGA chipset and was coded on AmigaDOS1.x/68000 would not work (which was a lot of games and demos). at one point i had a separate A1200 for this. i miss my old workbench environment with CED, ProTracker, SnoopDos, amIRC, Directory Opus and more. it was fun times and i am grateful for being part of the ride.

i used to browse slashdot on my amiga back in the late 90s with iBrowse. what glorious days!

i am subscribing to yt premium but i don't like supporting google. i despise their active shadow banning on yt. this company is actively blocking legit constructive comments on "sensitive topics" such as religion. it's disgusting and also dangerous that a big corporation is declaring what should be allowed and not allowed to think and express.

only 74 years left before MAME 1.0 releases with the current versioning

thank you for the description. as a non-native english speaker i haven't heard the word 'confabulate' before, while hallucinate i learned from a young age.

i love this gui

i used XNQ as my daily driver for a short period :)

upgrade of ssd and ram in a macbook? what kind of sorcery is this.

Bring it on! JPEG XL is now supported natively in macos sonoma, which is pretty nice. When it comes to lossless compression, it always (in my own cases) produces smaller files than png by a significant margin.

I was hoping to read about the video game (man, I loved that game)

If it's too smol try PT2Clone and FT2Clone. Works very well and scales nice to my high res screen. https://16-bits.org/pt2.php
