This is amazing
Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code. Hear the story: link.podtrac.com/phns92ui

I knew someone had to do it! The classic, remastered. Now what we really need is an Omarchy-themed version of the same classic game. Maybe you have to tackle running out of tokens and trading parts of your wagon? Maybe the wagon isn't even a wagon. 🤣
I built an Oregon Trail-inspired game inside the Omarchy desktop. Not a mockup. A real Omarchy Quattro plugin that opens from the bar and runs inside Quickshell. omaTrail includes: - Five-person party and wagon management - Pace, rations, weather, repairs, and river crossings - Stateful dysentery affected by medicine, rest, pace, and food - Real-time graphical hunting with moving wildlife - Original omaTrail and Classic 1978-inspired rules - Green Monitor and Color Deluxe graphics - Keyboard and mouse controls It runs fully offline. No account, telemetry, daemon, network access, or elevated privileges. omaTrail is open source and now listed in the Omarchy marketplace: omarchyplugins.com/plugin.ht… If you run Omarchy and remember the old trail games, try a journey and tell me who made it west. More builds like this: github.com/jeremylongshore #Omarchy #LinuxGaming #OpenSource #Quickshell

That is the part I keep turning over. I used to call all of this curiosity, and lined up it looks like curiosity, booking to teaching to building, a man who keeps walking through the next open door. But a door is also a way out of a room. I do not really know, looking back, how much of this has been me chasing the next interesting thing and how much has been me leaving the last one before I had to find out I had gone stale in it. open.substack.com/pub/maxshe…
