Looking for a #kbin or #lemmy instance to join. Something #socialist, #trans or #autistic leaning. If anyone has any #FediRecs #findAnInstance
been slaving away over here trying to properly process all the magazine BASIC listings
i have many, many issues of this publication, luckily they have semi-regular page numbers for each of their magazine sections

How about VGA? Ben Eater made a VGA Output with discrete ICs and a ROM (which could be a RAM instead)

i don't fully understand it, but it's very cool
the main thing i always end up endlessly stressing over with my retro computer designs is video display
does anyone know of any good designs for composite out video for say, a 6502 or 68k CPU based micro?
many thanks in advance.
Python got loop-assignment (a while ago), great!
while p:=nextPC(): stuff
still fails because p might be 0, which is false. End up doing:
while (p:=nextPC()) is not None: stuff
Uugh. Still need to do more design on the toy impl before I start rewriting in something fast.
But, got named subroutines with local variables now. Just 436 LOC.

GOTY, if the year is 1981 and you have a CoCo.

(Zelda's shooting is erratic and almost completely disconnected from your keypresses. But I like the aesthetic.)
wow these OCR tools are atrocious
you're probably better off doing it all by hand, these supposed tools are so obtuse
good news is i now possess an enormous amount of BASIC listings! i will be lovingly curating a zine with these listings 😎
I wonder why so much of hobby osdev is just making Linux (and sometimes Windows) again. Cause like, Linux already exists, it's right there, wouldn't it be cooler to make something new?

If you are upset that someone uses a term to describe your identity or ideology because it is the predominant one within a society, you should think about why it makes you feel uncomfortable. People are going to create terms to describe identities or ideologies so that we can talk about and understand them. Being upset because a trans person called you cis or a vegan/vegetarian called you a carnist or any number of other words that describe the predominant identity or ideology within a society is just ridiculous and says more about your views than any one else's.
People are going to create words to talk about identities or ideologies so being upset that yours is being described is nonsensical. If you are so sure about your ideology or identity, why take issue with other people describing it?
@notptr i got it running under wine...
there is a special circle in hell for people who only target windows for their releases...
