Description: Fehler bei der Bildbeschreibung

Disclaimer: I'm listening, caller, but before we proceed, I must offer this small caveat: The description of the image in question has been generated by an automated process, not unlike the way my brother Niles generates excuses to avoid physical exertion. As such, its accuracy may be as questionable as Dad's choice in recliners. Please, do exercise your own judgment, much as I do when selecting a fine sherry.

Congratulations @gnome on your 28th anniversary!๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฅณ

Basic Internet things I can no longer do:
* Read a reddit thread without logging in (I will never log in)
* View page source from my default phone browser
* Have confidence that searching for an established piece of software will bring me to the official site, and not a third party pushing ads or malware

These are all things that have changed within the past eight months.

Check out the 23LC1024 SPI SRAM chip. Cheap and easy to interface with Arduino boards.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

I also need to check the Altair BASIC reference manual to see how file handling works compared to Stefan's Tiny BASIC.

There's a way to add SRAM to an Arduino in an inexpensive way, I am sure...

AAAAAAAHHHHHH

Just stumbled across two people playing backgammon deep in the woods on a little portable table and chairs.

What a way to live!

While I'm harping on about Matrix, does anyone know if the GNOME plan to split Fractal into two apps (team chat/ instant messenger) ever went ahead?

https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2018/05/16/banquets-and-barbecues/

GNOME announced in 2022 that they were using Matrix for their official team chat groups;

So presumably they've put some serious effort into bringing their own Matrix apps to maturity?
