When the mesh is so fine, but the grids don't align, that's a moiré.

Finally, someone asking the important questions

if a priest gives out an incorrect penance at a confession, is that a sin tax error?

Same start. First Windows I waited until they could do proper pre-emptive multitasking like Amiga Workbench

“Are you so old that your first Windows was 95 or 3.1 or …” Let me stop you there.

This is absolutely insane! 12.5kb on tape, 36kb in memory. On a 3.5MHz 8-bit processor with a 1-bit "DAC" 🤯

Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer. Similarly ZX81 would have been first computer touched, also at school. 2nd hand 48k Speccy + a bunch of games my mum brought home when I was 8 got me on the path to being a programmer.

Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer. Not the first computer I ever touched, that would be a Sinclair ZX81 at School, but was the first computer I owned.

So we now have people betting on Spotify chart positions on prediction markets and then using bots to make their bets come true. $400m has been bet on music on Kalshi already in 2026. People are making more money betting on artists than the artists are making from releasing music. Great stuff!

I wish all mechanical keyboards came with replacement key caps for the Apple modifiers, but at least it's possible to replace them by yourself. I quite like the aesthetic anyway. Yellow ones are textured so I can find the cursor keys without looking.

40 years since these bad boys hit cinemas!

3 to 6 months until finally get ahold of my new Speccy?

I'll give the revived Commodore brand one thing, at least they're true to the original company by making really questionable business decisions :)

We're moving Super Mario Bros. to an agentic workflow. Rather than controlling Mario, you'll simply prompt the agent with something like "beat 1-1", and it will take direct control of Mario for you. This frees up more time for more important things like doing your taxes or being stuck in traffic

Today's brain radio decided the demo tune from Casio VL-1 was what is needed 🤣

I find it mildly annoying that people repost their own posts. If it didn't get traction the 1st time around why try again? If traction is so important to you, schedule your 1st post for a better time 🤷

Slightly diminish a song: Everything is quite good.

And then there is this project that looks super interesting too! #amiga #demoscene

LSPX: Converts OpenMPT-supported tracker modules (mod, s3m, xm, it, mptm) to #Amiga LSP (LightSpeed Player) format. github.com/dansalvato/l... Now you can compose for Amiga with modern tracker features, and even with 16-bit 48KHz samples, which LSPX will downsample to a configurable quality target.

Updated Leonard's LSPlayer macOS/Linux support to latest 1.30 version, available here if you can't wait for pull request to upstream to be merged! #demoscene #amiga
