That red mouse pointer on the web page - it's from Amiga Workbench!

spacedrone808•42m ago

That's correct.

I'm kind of surprised that Chromium blocks audio on autoplaying videos except when clicked but allows audio on mouseover interactions (encountered here). Takes me back to early 00s era sites with random surprises (in a good way here since its quirkiness is communicated with the design).

there are two audio Easter eggs on the page: Fallout 2 narration if you hover on the header image of the man watching tv from "Brazil" movie and if you hover "Unlisted Retrograde Holdout" text you will hear voice from "Human Traffic"

Strumming the main menu makes pip-boy sounds too.

On Firefox, you have to click on the page at least once before mouseover plays audio

spacedrone808•11m ago

You got me, page also have a sound from UFO X-COM

i’m sorry, there may be useful information here, but this web page is unusable in its current form

guizadillas•29m ago

for real, at least on FLOORP (firefox fork) it is a buggy mess

Note, you can click "plain txt file" near the top to read without flickering:

Beautiful website

design matches 90s era

bitwize•35m ago

The design is so much cooler than actual 90s websites were. More like the professional titling for a 90s cyberpunk flick like Hackers which was out 30 years ago next month.

I'm doing web projects during my free time. The website is based around Hugo framework, but since Windows 7 support was dropped i continue to maintain it with custom js/scss

And yeah, love this movie, despite it is a bit childish these days.

I miss the magical feeling windows releases like XP and 7 gave you. Now it’s an exercise in crossing your fingers and hoping the next update doesn’t use more dark patterns to destroy your privacy and security.

freeAgent•30m ago

You don’t even really have a legitimate reason to hope for those things at this point. It’s just a matter of how much worse MS are going to make it.

In 2025, I can only think of two reasons to use Windows as a primary operating system:

1. You develop Windows software, exclusively to be deployed on Windows.

2. You play games that use kernel-level anti-cheat that are incompatible with Linux.

I am really really happy with Debian+KDE combo.

3. Your employer’s IT team refuses to let you use something else.

ronsor•7m ago

At work or at home? At work, I'd argue the employer is mostly using it. Windows's problems are their problems then.

spacedrone808•12m ago

I am having Windows 7 not only at home, but at work also and successfully doing web apps and sites.

throitallaway•8m ago

Congrats on your vulnerable system. I hope you're not doing anything important at all on it.

Honestly, I can’t say I ever had that magical feeling.

In the 90s, it was more a case of “let’s see how much more system resource this new OS will consume when idle”. And the 00s was that and “let’s see how much more stupid this OS treats me”.

By the time 7 came and MS started taking resource consumption seriously, I’d already given up on Windows completely and had been using desktop Linux full time for several years.

I do have a Windows 10 floating about for gaming. But it’s really more of a chore to use than a joy. Albeit only because I seldom boot into Windows so I have to plan ahead to compensate for the two hours of system and application updates needed before Minecraft (Bedrock edition) will even start. A chore that’s hard to explain to my kids who, understandably, expect things to “just work”.

any particular reason you're on bedrock instead of java? don't you get both versions when you buy the game? i bought mine when java was the only version and i think they gave me bedrock for free when that came out. or is it because of the lack of crossplay? just curious
