I promise this was my last event announcement for tonight 🤣
@nprofile1q... Sounds like you’re gonna be very busy!
do people ever mix traditional instruments with chiptunes or is that like watching a serious guy get dunked on by a muppet
@nprofile1q... What do you mean by “traditional”? There’s plenty of bands with guitars and chiptunes.
I’m really not a fan of linters, and espec of code auto formatters. In a time when AI usage already homogenizes most types of online communication, I really don’t see the value in removing the tin...
@nprofile1q... I think the purpose of code formatters is not to beautify code. It is to end the arguments about what is beautiful code, and for that I do grudgingly appreciate them.

@nprofile1q... I don’t think so, or at least I don’t recall seeing it.

I'm reading the manual for the Shugart SA-1000, an 8-inch Winchester HDD from 1979. (I think the connector you get on later 5 1/4" drives is a cut down version of this)
> The drive will bring READY active as soon as the disk is rotating at 95% of normal speed. It is now safe to seek the drive but an additional 2 minutes should be allowed for thermal expansion to stabilize.
Man, we are spoiled these days.

@nprofile1q... Ah, that would have been a later one, then. Xen-i, probably.
Hey guys, it's April 1st. You know what that means!
No, not that.
It's #Aprilcot!!! The month-long celebration of Apricot computers (that's pretty much just me)!
If you're curious about the Apricot and what I got up to last year, I've made a dedicated site in the interim. https://bytex64.net/apricot/
But the short version is, the Apricot is a non-PC compatible DOS-based business computer from the UK. It's weird!

For my birthday some time ago I got a brick mouse. A fully functional computer mouse made from Lego inspired bricks. It‘s Neon Genais Evangelion themed and quite nicely put together. However two gri...
@nprofile1q... The PCB looks like it can also take the usual microswitches you’d find in a mouse. But it doesn’t sound like it’s worth retrofitting it. Looks like a very fun project, though!
