Thanks! Working on an SVG version of this so it’s vector-based and the text can be indexed too.

This was a fun project to tackle, making the Low End Mac website graphics from scratch in Photoshop using inspiration from modern web design. It's only one page, the site uses pngs/jpgs to retain compatibility with older Macs (so no modern javascript or anything!), but I like it so far.

Web page about iconic Golden Girls actress becomes latest victim of DEI purge Bea Arthur, who served in the Marine Corps, has had her wartime contribution scrubbed from the Department of Defence (DOD) website. The URL now reads "DEIBefore".

Incredibly sad.. Dorothy was very beloved and I very much loved the show Golden Girls! Really, it breaks my heart. Just goes to show this has nothing to do with DEI at all..

The same tagline from Apple's 2008 announcement for the original MacBook Air

The Year’s Most Urgent Best Picture Contender Is the One Almost No One Has Seen I’m Still Here has a warningβ€”and a reason for hope.

"So even when we’re shown how it could happen here, we’re subtly reassured that it won’t..."a good read about authoritarianism and how life can seem "normal" in one.

There are things I dislike about the modern world, but one of them of most certainly not the economics of used electronics.

This iMac 5,2 (17" 2006) may not have had its housing anymore, but that doesn't stop it from being a fully functional Mac. Complete with a 2600 XT via the airport slot, graphical hardware acceleration, and Piker Alpha Boot.EFI for OS X Yosemite. @actionretro.bsky.social @ctrl-alt-rees.com
