Today marks two years since the Cloverleaf Kickstarter ended with โ‚ฌ11,034 raised. ๐ŸŽ‚ Most of the rewards remain unfulfilled and there's been no updates in months. ๐Ÿค” Seems a high price for a reskinned RO Direct and a filer app that's expensive and doesn't work very well. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Occasionally, the ROOL forum users remind us why we don't bother with the forum. One thread has a suggestion that because RISC OS is modular, the GPL is irrelevant. It then devolves into arguments about how the GPL is bad becuase they can't circumvent it to steal code they want.

The makers of @AppleTVPlus' new Tetris film clearly have good taste in microcomputers. Could have picked a slightly less yellowed one, though...
