Today someone (who is not on Mastodon) released a collection of more than 570 distinct operating systems, pre-installed with VM configurations for the 250+ different platforms, going back all the way to 1948.

Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.

Because the full download is 121GB (174GB unzipped!). There is also a lighter version at 14GB that will download stuff on demand.

@gundersen ...and the halucinations included in the output? do they cost more?

@anon_opin you have not yet been exposed to the clicky delights of a Tombow AirPress biro yet.

502) Flouncebot. Helps you to affect a dramatic exit with its swishy cape and haughty attitude. #SmallRobotsRemastered

Remember 100 years ago when radiation was new and exciting and poorly understood, and companies were putting radiation into everything?

Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.

501) Bruisebot. Keeps a record of all your bumps and scrapes so when you find a mysterious bruise, it can consult its notes and tell you where it came from. #SmallRobotsRemastered

These little striped cuckoo chicks sport plumage that mimics a pine cone.

After all, what idiot would want to swallow a pine cone for dinner?

Smart. Very smart.

@Viss blimey that brings back memories of my youth.
anyone else remember ICL?

@Viss "in which case may I introduce our new Incident Response offering - you won't need it right away but you should probably print off the details for when you no longer have functioning systems of your own"
