What is the most powerful computer that can feasibly run off of two (or four, at most eight) AA batteries? I&#39;ve considered getting a Game Boy Advance or Wonderswan so I can play those games in their intended environment: but I&#39;d prefer something that&#39;s more general purpose, complete with a keyboard. As for battery life, I&#39;d expect the thing to last at least 4 hours. #askfedi #retrocomputing #permacomputing

My case for using privacy frontends (i.e Invidious and NewPipe for Youtube) is less about service providers tracking my steps and more about them using said information to bombard me with recommendations for baubles and propaganda.

@wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe My dad was fairly hands-off regarding what me and my brothers did on our computers, other than strongly discouraging us from playing World of Warcraft for being notoriously addictive and time-consuming. We didn't chat with strangers and got to see glimpses of the pre-social media/"endless scroll" world: so expecting your kids to move on and read a book, build with LEGO or play outside for the rest of the day was a viable tactic.

@hikari@social.noyu.me The only reason it wouldn't be embraced by the Stallmanites is that Win32 is still a living platform (despite MS's attempts to replace it with UWP or whatever) and that Wine gets better compatibility when using the official libraries. An even funnier scenario would be if it went full circle and got ported to MS-DOS: anything recent enough to run a current Wine could probably run it under aHaiku or NetBSD just fine. I'm more interested in using it as a contain...
