But I also consider why @torproject hasn't done so:
And lets be honest @tails_live / @tails / #Tails is way more important to maintain as with #TorBrowser, literally human lives depend on it!

@vetgaming @linuxmint It's just a necessity, according to @fuchsiii, as it's just not feasible longterm to collect rarer-and-rarer #VintageComputing hardware and rely on non-enforcement of copyright on #Abandonware.
It makes #TheSims and #FightingIsMagic just work on anything that is #amd64 and has enough resources to throw at it.
one of the most important mac applications i've had since the powerpc days is telestream's ScreenFlow.... which began its life as a simple screen recording app, and slowly transitioned into a full tilt video editing suite over the next 15+ years. i've paid for a couple of upgrades over the years, just because it's 100x more enjoyable than dealing with final cut pro 
screenflow has two cringe-inducing downsides:
- it requires activation (with a serial number)
- telestream breaks compatibility with older versions of OS X every single year and won't support older versions after a period.
they officially quit supporting anything older than v9.0 in 2021, which is tantamount to publicly announcing that v1.0 - v8.0 are now abandonware.
long story short: i spent the night archiving every single release of ScreenFlow from WBM and uploaded them to the mac garden. if you've got anything from OS X 10.5 to 10.14, you now have a working copy of screenflow.
they are uncracked at the moment - but i've contacted a fellow macgarden member who may know how to disable the activation on them.

[Nouveau podcast] LHDG23. Les abandonwares

@fennix personally, I think corporations should be mandated to guarantee a support lifecycle for a product and put that front and center on the product packaging.
I.e. "Updates guaranteed until 01/2038"
If it was my decision, @bsi would be pressibg charges against vendors who produced such #Abandonware and refuse to fix them!
Looking for some more advanced techies to help me out here. I was browsing the files of old abandonware (as one does) and came across the .zym file format in a game called Gubble 2. Does anyone have any idea what this file format is? Is it something proprietary by the gubble devs? Something that just isn't used anymore? The only thing google brought up regarding .zym was some mods for quake.
Meanwhile installing nano2000 and nanoXP VMs.
50 and 60 MB respectively.
Imagine if MS opened the source code to their abandonware instead of letting it rot.
Testing j2me SDK Win XP QEMU VM via VNC in Termux Android.
Why? Because I love coding on phone, and I want to write stuff for old phones on new phones.

Dinge, die man auf Mastodon niemals sagen sollte:
"Natürlich hat #Nintendo das Recht gegen #Emulator|en der aktuellen Konsolengeneration vorzugehen, wenn dabei geistiges Eigentum verletzt wird. Das ist gerade auch dann legitim, wenn der Hersteller die Emulation von noch nicht veröffentlichten Titeln hinter einer Bezahlschranke anbietet. Hier ist der Fall ganz anders gelagert als bei #Abandonware und bei der #Emulation von historischen Systemen."
Es funzt absolut einfacher und geiler als gedacht.
Einfach mal inner Bahn wieder n geiles Spiel fürs Deck.
Okay, okay. Geil.
Ich hab mit #freelancer 2003 gelernt, dass Weltraum Spiele gar net überfordern müssen und auch noch epische Story bieten können.
Leider is das Spiel von Microsoft iwann vom Markt genommen worden. #abandonware
Hab zwar CD noch, aber jetzt die Dateien mit Patch zu finden und dann noch ne Anleitung fürs #steamdeck.
Oh my ich hab Bock.

@gnemmi @methuselah @daniel whichever they are, #NameThemBlameThem would be essential for #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec - alongside the messages of them saying they don't give a shit.
#Trnapsarency is essentual here!!!
@tokyo_0 #TrueCrypt is #abandonware with serious security issues.
Use #VeraCrypt or even better: migrate machines to #Linux and use #LUKS / #dmcrypt instead, as it's the best option at hand.

@tbernard the #Fedora #flatpak repo has a fair deal of #Plasma packages in it, and that's probably because the Fedora community has been porting desktop apps over to it.
I have a cynical take though. I believe that #designers and #UX experts gravitate more towards #Gtk/ #Adwaita because it is more modern. Plasma/ #Origami has come a long way, but is still not as enticing as Gtk/Adwaita. This becomes a little barrier to entry in of it self, IMHO. It also means there is more Gtk #abandonware.
Es gab¹ in den 1990ern Werbespiele für PC auf Disketten. „Victor Loomes“ (müsste LBS gewesen sein), „Das Telekommando“, aber auch was von der damaligen PDS und verschiedenen Behörden habe ich im Hinterkopf.
Hat zufällig jemand solche Schätze gerettet? #Abandonware #RetroGaming

¹ Ja, korrekt, ich bin alt. Ich spule auch Streaming-Videos wieder zurück, damit sie der nächste sehen kann.
Yeah, #ProjectSandcastle is #Abandonware or at least not being actively developed for a lot of reasons...

Luckily @AsahiLinux is getting some passive support from #Apple in that they don't actively work against the devs.
@isotopp so I gues NONE OF THESE TOOLS are useable since they are either #Abandonware (ime. #Saltstack) or have bs demands noone should agree upon (regardless if they are legal and enforceable in the first place!)...
I guess using a git like configs/$hostname/$path/$to/$file to uodate and sync shit is the way to go then...
@johnmacintosh a goid game but sadly #uobtainable #Abandonware...
