Probably near the 40% mark. Didn’t I post relatively recently an update on the dev forums?

I wonder if the 100% mark will be hit by 1.0.0…

At this rate I’ll be able to play new Thrive versions only after like 2030 or something :sob: :sob: :sob:

Eh, it should come earlier than that assuming thrive gets more popular as it gets more complete.

I genuinely cannot tell if this is a joke so: PPC was the architecture macs used before x86/amd64. The current one, ARM, is the first set of processors fully designed by apple, but the PPC ISA was co-designed with IBM and Motorola to act as a replacement for the aging 68k architecture (and give IBM a new toy, and get all three parties in on the RISC buzzword). The joke I was making is that OSX is one of the only operating systems on PPC with any games on it, and its basically the only was to deliver an OSX game absolutely no one could play unless they had an old powermac and budget for whatever the best GPU those things supported was.

I genuinely didn’t know what that was. Cool to know.

What is a fairphone may I ask?

Fairphone is a Dutch electronics manufacturer that designs and produces smartphones and headphones. It aims to minimise the ethical and environmental impact of its devices by using recycled, fairtrade and conflict-free materials, maintaining fair labor conditions throughout its workforce and suppliers, and enabling users to easily repair their devices through modular design and by providing replacement parts.
