Update to 1.0 release by hadess · Pull Request #23 · flathub/com.retrodev.blastem

The logs. It worked once, when I switched from downloading the .tar.gz to downloading the .tar.bz2, but it failed on metadata instead, and then tarballs couldn't be downloaded anymore... github.com/flathub/com....

Looks like your front-end proxy/anti-scraping software is stopping every attempt at downloading the source tarball for the Flathub build... Any chance you could put out a proper 1.0 tarball somewhere?

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

The dump of Game Studio on archive dot org and the disc that @retrobreak.co.uk used to demo it are one and the same. (I had to buy a Plextor CD drive from the mid-2000s to be able to rip it)

.desktop file doesn't advertise that Ares can open files · Issue #2621 · ares-emulator/ares

Finally, to be able to test the various ROMs I downloaded, I had to add file type associations to the Flathub version of ares so it could open files from the file manager. Patch application request is here: github.com/flathub/dev....

The .desktop file in desktop-ui/resource/ares.desktop just says Exec=ares. This means that users can't open files with it. Ideally, it would have "%F" added to signal that it can open files, and th...

Wonderswan Cartridge Case by ToppestOfDogs | Download free STL model | Printables.com

The flashcart works well, its 3D-printed shell is pretty nice as well, but the sleeve it comes with is noticeably worse. The sleeve is from ToppestOfDogs on Printables and it needs to be printed on its side with supports for best results. www.printables.com/model/142583...

Received my Nileswan yesterday, a flashcart for the WonderSwan. This means I can finally play this panda variant of Gunpey.

I love watching Love, Death and Robots, for small doses of sci-fi, comedy, animation or all of them at the same time.

GARY OLDMAN as Cary Grant from ‘North By Northwest’ for a photo project whereby Actors posed for a role they always dreamt of playing. (It had to be self-deprecating, ironic, absurd, a bit twisted and kind of like a funny/bad dream take on the movie.) Love it.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Maybe this is something where it might be worth using machine learning to tag ads pages so they don’t match, or have a high “ads” score. Dealing with half-page adverts would be another kettle of fish.

"Téléchat" now has an official YouTube channel (Season 1 already available) + new short episodes soon on Instagram. A children's television show aired in France in 1983, created by Roland Topor & Henri Xhonneux ("Marquis"). It was weird, I loved it when I was a kid. www.catsuka.com/news/2026-09...
