Today's fun fact: Browsing the web on an Archimedes (real hardware, not emulated) with ArcWeb is very much still possible! (Bonus hat-tip to @ActionRetro1 for creating FrogFind to make pages usable on old systems!)

Another excellent deep dive into how a classic Acorn game works.

Trying to get away from the silliness of Twitter/X/whatever it's called this week? Good news: We're now available on Bluesky: https://t.co/WaSvZ5skr3 And, of course, we're also on Mastodon: https://t.co/kBU8c8OOGW

Today marks two years since the Cloverleaf Kickstarter ended with โฌ11,034 raised. ๐ Most of the rewards remain unfulfilled and there's been no updates in months. ๐ค Seems a high price for a reskinned RO Direct and a filer app that's expensive and doesn't work very well. ๐ธ

Occasionally, the ROOL forum users remind us why we don't bother with the forum. One thread has a suggestion that because RISC OS is modular, the GPL is irrelevant. It then devolves into arguments about how the GPL is bad becuase they can't circumvent it to steal code they want.

The makers of @AppleTVPlus' new Tetris film clearly have good taste in microcomputers. Could have picked a slightly less yellowed one, though...

It is, of course, absolutely possible to create new applications that will work on old and new versions of RISC OS alike. Take @PaoloFabioZaino's upcoming Launchpad application for example, seen here running on an Archimedes. That's some excellent work! https://t.co/fy4eHjvHsu

#RISC_OS Here is a "quicky" picture of !Launchpad running on an Archie with 4MB RAM and RISC OS 3.11. It runs fine and smooth and is very responsive! ๐คฉ - Be aware, it requires Nested Window Manager Module loaded (the only requirement to use it on RO 3)

Oddly, Cloverleaf tagged a post about their filer app with #Archimedes despite there being no chance of it running on one (last we checked, it uses obscene amounts of RAM and has a binary way bigger than RISC OS 5's ROM). (Screenshot becuase Cloverleaf still block us on Twitter)
