If you have ever worked with Deluxe Paint or heard about it, be sure to check out PyDPainter, a great and free resurrection of the legendary DPaint pixel editor.

@hagarashi8 @aral Sounds good, thanks. What about speed? I've noticed that Firefox is noticeably snappier compared to Chromium-based browsers (I've used Chrome, Edge and Brave).

@hagarashi8 @aral Thanks, but I read that it's Chromium-based.

It's happening, people. Google Chrome is moving to the Manifest V3 framework. If you haven't transitioned to a different browser yet, now's the time to do so.

A decent alternative is Firefox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and if you want to go for full privacy-awareness, I've heard good things about LibreWolf:

and Floorp:

@amigalove The mid-1980s were such an exciting time. Loved the computer magazines in those years. Bought around three of them each month, including the stylish Amiga World.

Years later, our game Hoi was reviewed in it. It felt like magic.

@amigalove I was waiting for the climax of a disk being inserted! 😉

@amigalove 👍 Great game. An old friend of mine, Ron Klaren, made the music.

@chainq @amigalove @gklka Love this discussion. ❤️

After careful consideration, this is my Commodore design top 5:

1. A1000 (also because I had one in 1986)
2. C128 (also because I had one in 1985)
3. C128D
4. A3000
5. A1200 (also because I had one in 1993)

The classic C64 breadbin gets an honorable mention, just because it's iconic. 😊

@amigalove In my humble opinion, the top two machines are among Commodore's most beautiful designs. The A2000 is more of a workhorse, but could not be called elegant. 🙂

@amigalove Have you tried PyDPainter yet? You can't get closer to the real DPaint experience...

@amigalove @TCD @StooCambridge Wow, I had almost forgotten about this game. I remember it from when I had an Amiga 1000 in 1986. Such nostalgia with the Intuition drop-down menu controls.

Apparently, this coffee-making Commodore 64 peripheral project actually existed.

The page is from an Italian magazine in the mid-1980s.
