Managed to play a little something on the C64 earlier this week. It's not much, but it's something:

"Agentic OS" is a praise popping up here and there on the internet.. As I'm not marketing scum, I had to google it to find out what it means.

Luckily 'Copilot Search' tells me it's just more AI enshittifation.

In 1985, on the secondary school open day I went to at the age of 10, the computer room featured a bunch of Acornsoft games running on the Model B's. In 2025, at the open day for the secondary school my son will be moving to, the computer room was running... a bunch of Acornsoft games via emulation.

It’s Sunday, I actually have a little time to myself today. Time to give the #SAMCoupe a run out. It’s not been out of the box for a few months. Time to check it’s all still running. Also using the Trinity interface from the amazing @samcoupe.com again. It’s a must have.
