Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.
Edit: Seems to work good so far, it's just what I wanted - something minimal and easy for viewing on the instance I'm using. Beats the quick little bookmarklet I made which was only good for specific pages.
Scorched Earth was awesome, never got a lot done in computer classes at school because of it :)
I might have almost destroyed a monitor with bad XFree86 timings on Slackware once or twice. Pulled the plug on that thing pretty fast.
I'm pretty sure I used one that was terminal based, likely using ncurses. Without searching, I can't recall the name of it, though.
I used XMPP a bit among friends, more so when Google supported it, which was probably after ICQ/AIM/MSN wasn't as popular? I don't really talk to many people anymore, so whatever, heheh :)
It would be nice to see XMPP make some kind of "comeback" ... or some sort of popularity boost like mastodon/lemmy/etc in recent times.
I think modern games in general hold your hand too much. Some small level of hand holding/tutorial is fine, but so many take it way too far. I've gotten bored of a lot of games before they actually started because of that.
I've been using chocolately when on Windows for automatically installing java (also prismlauncher, it'll grab the temurin java package(s) for you during it). Not exactly the same as a Linux package manager, but it works well enough and has basically every app that I need to install.
Prism seems to be able to update entire modpacks, though I haven't tried it myself. Used to be a hassle with mmc/polymc to do that.
Using the arrow keys to go to the entry and pressing shift+delete works for me
