SvarDOS is an open-source project that is meant to integrate the best out of the currently available DOS tools, drivers and games. DOS development has been abandoned by commercial players a long time ago, mostly during early nineties. Nowadays it survives solely through the efforts of hobbyists and retro-enthusiasts, but this is a highly sparse and unorganized ecosystem. SvarDOS aims to collect available DOS software and make it easy to find and install applications using a network-enabled package manager (like apt-get, but for DOS and able to run on a 8086 PC).

I expect a calm and decent discussion. I don't like something being called a joke, when people have put hours of work into it. I don't expect everyone to like a project and criticism can be valid, but there are much better ways to to critisize something.

It is indeed possible to criticize a thing without engaging in yum-yucking.

Am I yum-yucking?

i was agreeing with your criticism somewhat. Looks like they changed their post though.

Seemed like they went so hard there. A bit much.

[–] falseprophet@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago

Ok, I was not sure with whom you were agreeing.

Pineapple on pizza. Eeewww! :]

Cool nic! I take you you started out as a play on quixotic, and then you found some crazy characters? That's unique.

[–] Quexotic@beehaw.org 0 points 2 months ago

Thanks. I do not prefer pineapple on pizza.

Expect as you like. Jokes are, as they are. Not much to be said about Haiku, its a joke.
Really. Get over yourself.
Its ok if I don't like something. I'm not disagreeing with your or criticizing your post. Check Lemvotes. I upvote you.
I'm a bit bemused by all this fragility displayed, but I'm sure we will all get past it.
