In other news: if I fake the return value of SOCKET_WRITABLE(), then CryptAcquireContext() fails on win98.

WHY is it easier to get a TLSv1.2 connection on plain #MSDOS than on #win98??? 🥴

"critically needed" is IMHO defined by the priority stuff like the retro clients has for the mastodon ecosystem.

I, for myself, will most likely stop working on #DOStodon and might never start it again when there is e.g. a 2y gap where the client has no viable way of obtaining a token.

In my opinion the ecosystem would lose one of its strong selling points: the ability to experiment with it.

#DOStodon is a single user Mastodon client (just like the app on a smartphone).

RN it uses grant_type=password to obtain a token.

but security isn't even the problem here. Only that the retro clients are not able to display a HTML page to the user for him to log in.

so, yes, if we could enable users to generate the token the problem would be solved (at least for #DOStodon).

I just released v1.12.1 of #DOjS on github.com/SuperIlu/DOjS/relea…

This is the release the last #DOStodon versions were based upon!

The wife @flyingsilk and I are thinking about visiting #38c3 (first time visit).
