Yeah, it’s not. Leads to weird situations on Linux handheld where you paste in your purchased binary if it’s compatible, or you use an emulator like fake08 that has good, but not perfect, compatibility.

I tried the iOS beta until it expired. Didn’t know it ever made it to the app store.

The fabled hockey puck grip!

I was using Firefox back when it was cool. And now it’ll be cool again.

Basically all the little niche projects out there that could really use more talented programmers and/or all the random little projects that don’t exist because I lack the time and skills to attempt them. So in the spirit of randomness, here’s some random examples:

• I have a modest collection of handheld devices designed to emulate classic video games, but they often need better firmware, more games and emulators (within reason) ported to them, or both. For example, an alternate firmware for the (completely abandoned) PocketSprite that could connect to your home WiFi and download games from a samba share on demand, and keep the most recent games cached for playing on the go. (this would mitigate the extreme lack of storage space and cumbersome file transfer problems it has.)

• More/Better PostmarketOS ports. This is a Linux distribution designed to run on as many devices as possible (specifically targeting phones but also open to other devices categories) to keep them running, updated, and usable until they physically fall apart. Although very weak by today’s standards, I’d get a kick of seeing it running on my C.H.I.P. Computer, my OLPC, and my eink Nook tablet. The first one of these three has a port in progress already.

One last one because I keep getting interrupted and I lost my train of thought.

• Fan port of Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden to the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. Why?! Because the only meme that game doesn’t have is an “original” cannon port from 2033 with Blast Processing.

Edit: Oh, and more 64-bit ARM builds of the software I’d like to use.

I won’t lie, I got excited for a moment there because I thought that it was actually a gameboy advance game.
