I'm testing neovide and it's clearly a work-in-progress, but I love the smooth scrolling with with --multigrid.

@keadamander It's obvious that he isn't an Amiga expert.
He says that the HAM and Extra Half Brite modes couldn't be used in games because of the weird pixel format, but EHB uses 6 regular bitplanes with a reasonable limitation on the palette: pick the first 32 colors any the other 32 colors are repeated with half the RGB brightness.

Era da tanto tempo che lo volevo comprare.
Grazie ad Apulia Retrocomputing per la pubblicazione.
Anzi se qualcuno li conosce e li vuole invitare su mastodon, credo che potrebbero pubblicare un sacco di cose interessanti.

Ah dimenticavo...

@patrick My DKB 4091 card is still installed in the #Amiga 4000 I grew up with ๐ฅฐ
I had to leave it in Italy, but now it's in good hands and still 100% functional... right @alef ? ๐ฐ
@patrick Oh wow, a rare DKB 4091, the fastest of the Fast SCSI II controllers! ๐คฉ

@stdsxezat The #Amiga version of Marble Madness was a great arcade conversion... but so hard! ๐คฉ
Why was the #Amiga so awesome?

More reason to prefer #Amiga
@nafnewleafjournal There's also the ancient amiwm:

I was looking for a new theme for my window manager in XFCE, and I found one in an unexpected place. In this article, I look at four Amiga OS-inspired themes for XFWM4 (with screenshots) and discuss the one I chose in particular, the HiDPI version of the Amiga 3.x theme.
Credit to Mr. Thomas Thiel for the great themes.

I wasn't expecting to find clean OOP modeling in an #Amiga emulator:
https://github.com/dirkwhoffmann/vAmiga/blob/master/Emulator/Amiga.h#L38
The instance variables map 1-to-1 with the custom chips present on the Amiga motherboard.
But it might get messier once they add support for Amiga models with different chipsets...
#Wordperfect #amiga :kirby:
@5tr34k_ @ilwoody @lubimaer @mk8 Another tip is adding a column with a query for tags you like. Mine are:
#c64 #amiga #anime #retrocomputing #demoscene #chiptune #chiptunes #kde #plasma
I heard that currently Mastodon will only consider the first N tags (N=5 iirc) due to an issue with query performance.
@hhardy01 @slashdot I read that initially the Kickstart was cross-compiled from SunOS, which explains some similarities. However, AmigaDOS was a retrofit of TRIPOS, a preexisting OS for m68k machines developed in BCPL by the University of Cambridge. It compared well against MS-DOS, but was definitely not up to the same standard of UNIX systems a decade older: the shell was slow and very limited, no pipes, no symlinks, no sockets...
#amiga
@slashdot and there was also this other thing called Multiuser Filesystem (MuFS), which wasn't just a filesystem. It was a huge kernel patch and a suite of CLI tools adding UNIX-like uids and gids to AmigaOS. I can't believe this could be done at runtime, without access to the source code of the OS. It was not the hack that you'd assume, because the entire OS was designed and documented to allow replacing individual functions, or entire system libraries.
@slashdot Still, I miss the modularity of #Amiga OS. You could replace any part of it at runtime, including filesystems, core parts of the windowing system, and even the task scheduler!
@slashdot It's sad that the glorious #Amiga died, but I think it was a necessary step to make room for the much more open ecosystem of hardware and software that we have now with Linux and free software.
