losing my mind because i just discovered there’s an

- AmigaOS clone project that
- only runs on PowerPC CPUs on
- hardware nobody manufactures anymore

& still has pretty active development?

somebody is out there cranking openssl patches like clockwork, and their last release was 9mo ago — but it’s unclear *who* is the doing the work, and what the audience is like

like a ghost ship website of a dream of the early aughts morphos-team.net/news

i mean look at this:

some mfer is out there, fixing bugs, improving threading, adding a notification system, updating translations(?!) in 2022

on a computer platform that i thought died out in 2007???

all for 79€ a copy????

@phillmv no exit, github edition. in the afterlife we continue to maintain the long-forgotten software that in life so preoccupied us.

@interfluidity that's the ghostliest part: this predates GitHub!

one of the contributors links to his _sourceforge page_; the project leader's website is an apache directory listing quake3 maps, and no one involved has a modern web presence.

it's like jumping thru a time portal to 2008
