acme with a custom theme of purple. Left is a buffer with text I changed the colors. I think I need to learn color 

right is a listing of a dir of plan9port Emacs with a purple theme with common lisp code for a basic Matrix client.

i love how the internet has more or less decided that the answer to the question, "would you love me if i was a worm?"

is "yes".

thoughts / blep

a drawing of a person with a maybe cat head staring, focusing on nothing apparently while sitting with pulled up knees and hands on those knees. they're sticking their tongue out.

to the right of that drawing is an arrow pointing at their head with the word "thoughts" next to it, and another arrow pointing to their tongue with the word "blep" next to it.

Quite some years ago (2006-08), we brought the AKA the 100$ laptop to Ethiopia as pilot. A surprising thing happened. The laptops were often without battery power in the morning. A thing that wasn’t anticipated. It had two reasons. One was the keyboard LED (it was removed in later series). It was used by the parents to have a light at home. The other was a bigger surprise. The parents used the mesh networking to discuss market prices for their produce. Fascinating. 1/8

I think I figured a possible implementation of a zero knowledge email server using open source software only

@thegibson you're not wrong. where are we going? i'll follow

An important program for CP/M users with wifi modems: QTERM.

Features:

• Capture of text files
• Send text files to remote
• Xmodem / Modem7 / Ymodem protocol transfer
• Kermit protocol transfer
• VT100 emulation
• Split screen mode to separate typed and received text
• Script mechanism for automatic dialing and automation of other operations
• Transfer of text to printer
• Full user area support

It's basically exactly what you'd want for connecting to a BBS or some other Telnet service. I suppose it could also be used to connect to a Unix machine over a serial port, if you wanted.

Ok, my article on porting the SBCL common implementation to the nintendo is now live:

Boosts would be much appreciated! It's been a lot of work to get this far.

@goosey you're very correct!

@mos_8502 I'm building a variation on this one that ticks all the boxes for me:

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone pretty goated copy pasta

To the sigmas of Australia, I say that this goofy ahh government have been capping, not just now but for a long time. A few of you may remember when they said, 'There'll be no fanum tax under the government I lead.' They're capaholics. They're also yapaholics. They yap non-stop about how their cost-of-living measures are changing lives for all Australians. Just put the fries in the bag, lil bro.

They tell us that they're locked in on improving the housing situation in this country. They must have brain rot from watching too much Kai Cenat and forgot about their plans to ban social media for kids under 14. If that becomes law, you can 'forgor skull emoji' all about watching Duke Dennis or catching a dub with the bros on Fort. Chat, is this Prime Minister serious? Even though he's the Prime Minister of Australia, sometimes it feels like he's the CEO of Ohio. I would be taking an L if I did not mention the opps who want to cut WA's gyatts and services tax.

The decision voters will be making in a few months time will be between a mid government, a dog water opposition or a crossbench that will mog both of them. Though some of you cannot yet vote, I hope that, when you do, it will be in a more goated Australia for a government with more aura. Skibidi!

@ZoDoneRightNow @atlrvrse @yassie_j senator payman is a massive ally of the left and i back her on the sigmas of australia speech.

perfect execution. 10/10.

i am serious

@atlrvrse@translunar.academy @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone No it isn’t. This is Senator Fatima Payman on the Australian government attempting to ban social media for 14 and younger and trying to push that law through with creepy surveillance laws that will affect everyone. The speech was written by a 21 year old who said it was not language he would use earnestly outside of the chamber but that it was an intentionally ironic appeal to younger Australians utilising “brain rot” language. I think it was successful as it went viral and now more Australians than before know about the shit Labor and Liberals are pushing through government.

The "But will it scale" question never seems to be about scaling down to run on lower power hardware or by non-professionals, weird

Someday I want to full an IBM 5150 with expansion cards, all of which are powered by Raspberry Picos.
A pico men and pico gus are only the start
