OH HELL YEAH ITS TOAD NIGHT BAYBEEEEE!!!!!!!

@robdaemon @troi I was spoiled by IBM’s 360 architecture, Amdahl did great work. Z80 was my first microprocessor, but I quickly found 6809. I loath what Intel’s done, big code museums. I’ve looked at ARM enough to want to do more. Compiling to Assembly is looking pretty good. The only issue I have is his choice of Typescript. I haven’t really done JS and the node.js tooling seems a bit much, but I don’t like Python’s tooling anymore either. Grumpy old man here :)

Built a cursed thing.
Used that to make something way more cursed.
Used that abomination to do something normal.

If you didn't want your fiber optic cables to be eaten, why did you make them so chompable?

thought i forgot the grocery list and went "oh no did i forget to add it to my inventory?"

the autumn equinox was yesterday? wow that means there's only about 1 month before the autumn lisp game jam starts! put on a cozy sweater, eat a slice of apple pie, and organize your parentheses so you're ready to go when the jam begins!

I have to say, CRT filters on modern emulators are *amazing*; it's been years since I looked at any of them.

This just has the CRT filter, no other filter (e.g. no NTSC filter), so it looks like what a good RGB SCART cable might give you on a PVM or high-end consumer CRT.

Make sure you view this not zoomed out/in. Make sure to view the images at their exact size (that's why I provided some cropped examples).

I'm a purist. I always prefer hardware, on a real CRT. But this is pretty damn close!

I made a couple of things that some people might find useful.

- mytoots.el: Search your offline #Mastodon archive from the comfort of #Emacs and curate your old posts in #OrgMode or HTML

- ol-toot.el: An Org-mode "toot" link type for Mastodon posts that works with mastodon.el

Testing and feedback welcome

EDIT 2024-09-24: Now with better integration between the tools, improved docs

The Pico 2 is even beefier. I hope they fix the pin latch up problem though. I want to use it for a Smalltalk system but the Pico 1 isn't quite enough.

For those of you have doubted the use of the term 'Corporate Welfare' here is some pretty strong proof.... UK corporate tax breaks will likely cost £20bn more than they generate over the next five years (even the Treasury agrees they will cost more)

Lets be clear; the UK state (taxpayers) are subsidising corporations, while also offering policy & fiscal measure intended to 'maintain' their profits.

This is welfare for corporations!

Freeloaders?
