#RISC_OS, what this weekend update contains you have read it on the ROOL's forum post, but how does it looks like Screenshots! 😆
RISC OS 3.10/3.7/5 Using very long file names, and getting #MacOS , #WIndows, #Linux and #BSD Unicode translated (where possible) to Latin1, now how cool is that?

200% agree, brilliant sound track!
knowing how funky some of the ChatGPT answers are, it's hyllarious too! Imagine some of the typical questions and what GPT could have answered 😂
that's it, you're surrounded now 😂

Clip of news article from the February 1996 issue of Acorn User, headlined 'Acorn workstation to take US?'
30 years ago, Acorn signed a licensing agreement with Oracle concerning the development of referencing designs for the Network Computer.
It was essentially cloud computing, but many years before it was viable, and was gone by 1999. Pretty much Acorn's last hurrah.

#RISC_OS folks, time to start helping me to test this new big project, which fixes file sharing issues on RO once and for all. Only for folks who wish to help testing a pre-alpha quality ShareFS for #Windows #Mac #Linux and #BSD , details here:

indeed and totally agree on the tool comparison; it is a useful tool, but, with the current architecture (let's call it generation) it's not going to end all programming.
just sayin.... ;)
not arguing, but also remember this: Recent reports from early 2026 indicate that major AI companies, including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, are spending massive amounts on marketing, with some individual creator deals reaching $400,000 to $600,000 for long-term partnerships to promote AI tools.
At our meeting on Monday 16th February @colinhoad.com will be bringing some of his collection of palmtops to the pub and talking about his retro computing YouTube channel. Come and have a listen and play!

Thinking about #gaming on #Linux? This video is a great guide to setting up a killer gaming rig with #openSUSE Tumbleweed. Covers #NVIDIA drivers, #Steam, #codecs, game stores, #KDE tweaks, and performance boosts. It’s all here.. youtu.be/0T02xd9qVmM?...
I'll be speaking at the next @rougol.bsky.social (RISC OS User Group of London) meeting at the Duke of Sussex pub next Monday 16th February! Details available here: rougol.jellybaby.net/meetings/ind...

Shhhh don't tell them their entire software sucks with no way they can actually fix it. 😂
No wonder BBC audience is down and now BBC is trying to force the government to make laws to force YouTube to push their videos up on searches. BBC went from being something I envied you guys had back in the Computer Litterate program days to something that the sooner the UK gets rid of the better
This is why people should not fear AI 😂
Retro computing for me isn't just about the hardware; it's about feelings and nostalgia. Reliving moments in history, like when you play a beloved game from your childhood and happy memories flood back. That's what motivates me most, thanks to everyone that shares this with me 🙏
New RISC OS laptop? Running @riscosopen.bsky.social RISC OS 5 very quickly!

January 2026 News Summary

Some things we noticed this month. What did you see?
That is true, but it's also true that code generated by AI is incorporated with very low human analysis (that includes people reading it, because just reading doesn't make our memory remember it as much as when we write it). The consequence of this in the long run is no one knows what the code does.

Looking at an SD card storage solution for my BBC Master (checking out the SD2BBC from @futurewas8bit.bsky.social ), & taking a detour into some graphics software along the way. AMX Art anyone? 🤔
Join me for another outing of the BBC Master.
