Free Towns OS: an open source recreation of FM Towns OS

A few weeks ago I linked to a story by Misty De Meo, in which they explored what happened to the various eccentric Japanese PC platforms. One of the platforms mentioned was FM Towns, made by Fujitsu, which came with its own graphical operating system from the era of Windows 3.x. I had never heard of this one before, but it looks incredibly interesting, with some unique UI ideas I’d love to explore, if only I could read Japanese. Since learning Japanese is a serious life-long commitment, I can safely say that’s not going to happen. It seems I’m not the only one interested in FM Towns, as a new project called Free Towns OS (or Tsugaru OS in Japanese) aims to provide an open source replacement for the Free Towns operating system. The goal of this project is to write a copyright-free FM Towns OS to run free games and the re-released games, or why not a brand-new game for FM Towns. without concerns of violating copyrights of the files included in the original Towns OS. Let’s see how far we can go! But, so far so good. Now Tsugaru OS is capable of running the three probably the most popular free games, Panic Ball 2, VSGP, and Sky Duel. All playable without single file from the original Towns OS. ↫ Free Towns OS GitHub page That’s a pretty good milestone already. The project aims to eventually also be able to run on real hardware instead of just emulators, but further than that, it’s difficult for me to extract more information from the descriptions since not every paragraph has been translated to English just yet. Finding English information on FM Towns OS in general is hard, so I’m also not entirely sure just how much the project has already been able to recreate. I definitely hope this effort attracts more interest, hopefully also from outside of Japan so we can get a translated version people outside of Japan can use.

Equipo de Investigación: Tráfico de estrellas 15-10-2021

3 de cada 4 consumidores miran las reseñas antes de tomar una decisión, pero muchas de esas valoraciones son falsas. Equipo de Investigación lo demuestra este viernes en el reportaje ‘Tráfico de estrellas’. El programa presentado por Gloria Serra descubre que hay un mercado de compraventa de reseñas falsas. Usuarios que reciben productos gratuitos, a través de Amazon, y que los valoran con 5 estrellas sin ni siquiera haberlos probado. A cambio ganan cuantiosas cantidades de dinero. Pero no es la única App en la que Equipo revela fraude. Ocho millones de restaurantes participan en la plataforma de turismo más grande del mundo, los reporteros comprueban lo fácil que es calificar un menú en TripAdvisor sin degustarlo. Los hosteleros denuncian prácticas abusivas que presuntamente les propone la plataforma si quieren alcanzar la máxima calificación. Lo llaman la tiranía de las estrellas.

Metadrop: Local tasks hierarchy on Drupal 10

Metadrop: Local tasks hierarchy on Drupal 10

Recently, in one of our projects with Drupal 10, we faced an interesting challenge: implementing two-level “local tasks” for a specific functionality of our module. Despite the number of documentation related to local tasks in Drupal, setting up two levels of these tasks proved challenging, as we couldn’t get them to display in the way we needed. However, after exhaustive research, we found an example in an existing module that helped us solve the problem.

Exploring the Problem

The need was to add a main “local task” and three associated subtasks that would show up when viewing or editing a node. Initially, the main obstacle was finding the right way to implement two levels of local tasks.

The Solution: Inspiration from Contributed Modules

During our search among existing contributed modules, we found…

Massive Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Update is here

Valve has been holding on to a special surprise for Half-Life 2 fans to celebrate the game crossing its 20th birthday. Today, the company shipped the 20th Anniversary Update for the iconic Gordon Freeman adventure from 2004, combining the base experience and all episodes into one, bringing developer commentary, Steam Workshop support, and much more. Adding to all that, the game is completely free to claim on Steam right now too. ↫ Pulasthi Ariyasinghe at NeoWin Valve even made a nice web page with fun animated characters for it (they’re just video loops). Definitely a nice surprise for those of us who’ve already played the game a million times, and for those of us who haven’t yet for some reason and can now claim the game for free. This update also fixes some more bugs, adds a ton of new graphics settings, allows you to choose between different styles for certain visual effects, aim assist for controller users has been massively updated, and so much more. For a 20 year old game, such a free update is not something that happens very often, so good on Valve for doing this. I can barely believe it’s been 20 years, and that we still have no conclusion or even continuation to the story that so abruptly ended with Episode Two. I honestly doubt we’ll ever going to see a Half-Life 3 or even an Episode Three, simply because at this point the expectations would be so bonkers high there’s no way Valve could meet them. On top of that, why waste time, money, and possibly reputation and goodwill on Half-Life 3, when you can just sit on the couch and watch the Steam gravy train roll into the station? Because that’s a hell of a lot of gravy.
