we need metacomputers.

one of the big features of computers and how they improved productivity was how they let us automate a lot of things that we had to do by hand before.

well, most of the things I have to do by hand these days involve badly designed software.

@foone That was the vision behind AppleScript/AppleEvents. You’d write GUI software using an AppleEvents-based framework, and then it would automatically be 100% scriptable and even have the actions be recordable for people who didn’t want to code.

Of course, nobody wanted to rewrite their software from scratch, and “early 90’s object oriented frameworks” were a massive PITA to use, so in the end it was just another “what the coder could be bothered to allow” macro language

The god damn Nintendo switch doesn't support usb floppy drives? Even in homebrew?

What the hell, Nintendo? I want my money back.

Maybe I can hack this back in. I hate doing usb coding but maybe

@foone Maybe use a SuperDisk drive that shows up as a translated SCSI disk?
