MetalSnakeon MacSurf 1.68 – NetSurf on OS 9 Released

Awesome stuff! I love retro computing especially with Macs.

But it's a bit weird that old PPC Macs get modern browsers, but Intel Macs running 10.14 are stuck with Firefox 115esr.

MetalSnakeon Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry

Now I only use macOS because the next best thing is still worse, and also the Mac hardware became really good with the switch to ARM (after a long long dark time with x86 where the hardware got worse and worse with each iteration).

The Oxyd games including Esprit and the FOSS version Enigma

The Atari ST game Thriller N.T. and maybe also Shocker and Shocker 2 but not sure on those as I didn't play them in a long time sadly.

Head over Heels

And probably many more, and more popular games, do that, but for some reason my mind comes up with those only.

And maybe even Zork counts? You only "see" (get a description of) one room at a time.
