I'll give the revived Commodore brand one thing, at least they're true to the original company by making really questionable business decisions :)

Hopefully this will encourage more people to try alternatives like matrix. Ive been playing around with it, its great once your past the initial setup/permissions issues. I found to publish a room link, the space or channel has to be set to public, but you can leave it unlisted from the directory

Yep the bloat is bad. I tried rejoining last year, hit the "verify your identity" straight away. Glad i didn't as i got the "your information was hacked" email last month. There is a discord bridge plugin. not sure how useful it is. probs better to dual run initially and hope people try it

no panic, im going to join a few public rooms and get my head around it. currently testing a Gnome client called Chatty , and apparently thunderbird email works with it too.

I want to love Star Citizen but i gave up on it years ago. Recently I've got really addicted to Egosoft's X3 games. Took me a long time to "find my feet" with them, but once I got over the initial learning curves they are really in-depth and chill offline games to play.

I switched this off months ago. It was driving me crazy the amount of cpu use and hard drive space being sucked up for games I play occasionally. As much as I love steam and all they have done for linux gaming, I always end up back on local GOG installers

Graeme C. @graemec.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

yep same error for me Nivrig. i then tried updating the tbblue_loader.rom and it just give a white screen. Cspect works quite well with the latest distro

Graeme C. @graemec.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

last i checked (in november) it hadnt been updated to support the new 24.11 distro, hence me recommending the included one to hitch. now you mention it though ill have a look ...

Graeme C. @graemec.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

oh @retrostreamers.com worth noting , if you get in a mess with Zesarux (likely if your switching configs/machines). - you can reset it to defaults by removing the user config file, which is a hidden file in your home directory ".zesaruxrc"

010

Graeme C. @graemec.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

yeah confusing at first. it goes back to before it was "the next", it was a board called TBblue by Victor Trucco. youll notice in the Zesarux 12 ubuntu release archive there is a tbblue_loader.rom and tbblue.mmc the autoconfig points to.

100

Graeme C. @graemec.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Recent zesarux (im using 12)setup is easier than it used to be (it even ships with a small harddisk image) In the menu, select Machine/vTrucco-FB Labs The submenu should show either TBblue or ZXNext (same thing) it will then offer to Autoconfigure the SD image. Agree to this and use included

Doubtful, but if they hit 2.5 million thats 1000% funded, which would be nice. I just chipped in my contribution. I was jealous of your purple.

Graeme C. @graemec.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Glad your getting one! I genuinely think you'll love it. I am tempted to get a ks3 and keep the ks2 as a spare. Figuring the purple will hold its value even more than the classic colours if i ever need to sell one.
