Being neurodivergent is like you're a computer running some variation of Unix while the rest of the world runs Windows. You have the exact same basic components as other machines, but you think differently. You organize differently. You do things in a way that Windows machines don't always understand, and because of that, you can't use programs written for Windows. If you're lucky, the developer will write a special version of their program specifically with your operating system in mind that will work just as well as the original, and be updated in a similar time frame. But if not? You'll either be stuck using emulators or a translator program like Wine, which come with an additional resource load and a host of other challenges to contend with, or you'll have to be content with an equivalent, which may or may not have the same features and the ability to read files created by the other program.

However, that doesn't mean you're not just as powerful. Perhaps you're a desktop that just happens to run Mac or Linux. Maybe you're a handheld device, small and simple but still able to connect someone to an entire world. Or perhaps you're an industrial computer purposely-built to perform a limited number of tasks extremely well, but only those tasks. You may not even have a graphical user interface. You could even be a server proudly hosting a wealth of media and information for an entire network to access- perhaps even the entire Internet. They need only ask politely. You may not be able to completely understand other machines, but you are still special in your own way.

Old software design: We released eleven versions in three years and haven't changed anything in forty years. We are the standard protocol for windowing on virtually all Unix-like systems.

Modern software design: Here's more ads, also, have you considered giving us more money? Also, what do you think of a total UI rewor- nvm we did it. Perish.

VIM author Bram Moolenar has died.

Moolenar has been developing the vim text editor for 20 years and encouraged users to donate to children in Uganda. He was a living legend, and will remain a legend as long as programming itself exists.

Rest in peace king.

More SGI computers

I got some new SGI computers. I was surprised because I thought the SGI guys from the Czech Republic gave me all their leftovers. I had to go to one of the original SGI offices in Brno this time. The office design was very 90s and there were classic SGI artworks on the walls. All the people there are now HPE employees but many of them started there working for SGI when every employee had an Indy or O2 on their desk.

The “loot” contains:

Two SGI O2 / MIPS R5000 / 2x SCSI HDD / the one with the older logo has an analog AV module installed

SGI Visual Workstation 320 / 1x Pentium II / a basic configuration with an IDE HDD

SGI Challenge / MIPS R5000 / basically an Indy without audio ports and a graphics card

Two sets of keyboards and mice, the PS/2 one is for O2 and the USB one for SGI 320

Hello and welcome to my tumblr blog! This is my first post and I thought I'd start off with something that I've been having a ton of fun with recently - the usb3sun.

I recently made a video about it (see immediately below), and it has been such fun to use. It works like a dream on my Sun Ultra 5 (which runs OpenBSD at the moment) and I'm so happy something like this exists.

If this seems like something that would interest you, I'd highly recommend checking out its website, linked below.
