Yep the bloat is bad. I tried rejoining last year, hit the "verify your identity" straight away. Glad i didn't as i got the "your information was hacked" email last month.

There is a discord bridge plugin. not sure how useful it is. probs better to dual run initially and hope people try it

no panic, im going to join a few public rooms and get my head around it. currently testing a Gnome client called Chatty , and apparently thunderbird email works with it too.

I got this error MatrixError: [403] You are not invited to this room.

I need to give this a try, been meaning to for years. What client are you using?

I want to love Star Citizen but i gave up on it years ago.

Recently I've got really addicted to Egosoft's X3 games. Took me a long time to "find my feet" with them, but once I got over the initial learning curves they are really in-depth and chill offline games to play.

I switched this off months ago. It was driving me crazy the amount of cpu use and hard drive space being sucked up for games I play occasionally.

As much as I love steam and all they have done for linux gaming, I always end up back on local GOG installers

yep same error for me Nivrig. i then tried updating the tbblue_loader.rom and it just give a white screen.

Cspect works quite well with the latest distro

last i checked (in november) it hadnt been updated to support the new 24.11 distro, hence me recommending the included one to hitch. now you mention it though ill have a look ...

oh @retrostreamers.com worth noting , if you get in a mess with Zesarux (likely if your switching configs/machines). - you can reset it to defaults by removing the user config file, which is a hidden file in your home directory ".zesaruxrc"

yeah confusing at first. it goes back to before it was "the next", it was a board called TBblue by Victor Trucco.

youll notice in the Zesarux 12 ubuntu release archive there is a tbblue_loader.rom and tbblue.mmc the autoconfig points to.

Recent zesarux (im using 12)setup is easier than it used to be (it even ships with a small harddisk image)

In the menu, select Machine/vTrucco-FB Labs
The submenu should show either TBblue or ZXNext (same thing)

it will then offer to Autoconfigure the SD image. Agree to this and use included

DOMAN!

That's because you have ordered two.

I feel you missed a trick here, not putting in a "c u NEXT tuesday" joke

I am so glad the Next is getting a C64 core, removing any need for me to buy your product.

Doubtful, but if they hit 2.5 million thats 1000% funded, which would be nice.

I just chipped in my contribution. I was jealous of your purple.
