ghostDancer··on Beautiful Disasters: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (2015)
In preinternet times it took me years to know the name of the movie, I watched it on TV when I was a child and years later I could recall scenes but no one knew which was the title of the movie. It's a strange movie one of those that can induce nightmares and/or boredom in a child.
ghostDancer··on Spanish Sketches
There are statues, monuments and streets with the names of falangists and fascists all around the country and the right wing parties are against removing their names, in fact recently the president of the PP , a supposedly right wing democratic party, defended in the parliament the dictatorship as a good time with law and order. Also the people that forget their past is condemned to repeat it and right now in Spain the PP is governing in part of Spain with a extreme right wing party and I'm thinking too in important things like Spain not converting in a neo nazi state like Hungary , whih the Spanish right wing parties have just given support in front of the European union voting next to to the extreme right wing parties.
ghostDancer··on Spanish Sketches
Still there are hundreds of corpses buried in unknown places all over Spain and right wing parties don't want them unearthed, identified and given to the families, also continuous homages to the dictator from the right wing parties claiming that dictatorship was a time of order and peace.
ghostDancer··on Adaptation and Re-adaptation: The story of Pitfall II
Me too. I wasn't very good at it, but had a friend who was and it was incredible to watch playing.
ghostDancer··on Adaptation and Re-adaptation: The story of Pitfall II
It was probably Pitfall II, I thought the same as you, but looking around the only arcade game I found was Pitfall II, maybe we played some kind of bootleg but I can't find anything about it either.
ghostDancer··on AI bot trolls politicians with how much time they're looking at phones
They are being paid to work with our money, if you do the same in your work you get fired. Some of them don't even go, also they should show more respect to the others. But maybe you think they are special and should have privileges.

ghostDancer··on Sevenhugs exits the universal remote business
I remember using a program in WindowsCE/PocketPC in an Axim that you could program the IR codes to control "any" thing, like the TV , Stereo , ... . Of course used it to turn off TVs at bars.Temptation too big.

ghostDancer··on The Armenian Genocide (1915-16): In Depth
That's how HN works, if something looks like is going to get a big non technical heated discussion and probably attract downvoting trolls and teams , it disappears from the first page to calm down the waters. That way it doesn't need too much moderation and is better to hide and HN can continue preoccupied by other things like taxes and some new technology that is going to revolutionize the web.
ghostDancer··on Left-wing party opposed to rare earth mining project wins Greenland election
I'd be more worried about USA than Russia, is more of a tradition on the USA to invade or arrange puppet governments for the profit of the corporations that pay/buy the political campaigns.
ghostDancer··on Loom EGA/VGA Comparison
The one on GOG is the VGA version, for the EGA one you need to resort to other sources more on the spirit of Monkey Island :-) .
ghostDancer··on Loom EGA/VGA Comparison
Loom is easy to find, you can get it on GOG, is on reduced price several times a year. And then use SCUMMVM and you can even play it on your phone.

ghostDancer··on How to revert HP printer’s ban on 3rd-party ink cartridges
The zjs printers on Linux are a PITA. I have a LaserJet 1020. And I have had times where it worked flawlessly, then a change in a kernel module or anything else and stoped working but not always only sometimes, sometimes the distribution drivers worked, others only the ones in the ffo2zjs page ones, so I had to change from one to the other . Now it looks like they are more stable and only had problems once when someone made a mistake in an update of the driver it was solved in less than a week once located.
ghostDancer··on There's a Mason Jar Shortage
I thought so, the 80's on the other side of the wall sure weren't too funny, may interesting but not funny. The blackouts are the ones troubling because they are not linked to the pandemic, at least not in the ways the others are.
ghostDancer··on There's a Mason Jar Shortage
That was caused because the system was defective/corrupt/ineffective, this is cause because the system is really tuned into economic efficiency. The system is not prepared to adjust easily to a disruption of this size,as it takes time to readjust the production process.
