Found a screenshot from ~20 years ago. Not your typical Windows installation.

Windows 2000, but running an alternative WM (litestep). You can see windows of Miranda, Mozilla and DirectoryOpus (if you happen to know any of those)

For you music nerds, this starts seeming like something fun, but it's really heartbreakingly sad.

A two-bar piece of music that reflects:

A Children's Choir that has a note in beat one and is silent the remainder. 

An AR-15 continually hitting beats without end. 

Congress being completely silent (nothing but rests.)

I'm desperately seeking information about this chip.

It is a custom #Psion RS232 IC used in the Series 3c, codenamed CONDOR.

If you were involved in the development of the 3c or knew someone who worked for Psion around 1994-1997 who might have been involved, please get in touch.

We want to emulate this chip in #MAME so that it can be added to the existing Psion SIBO hardware #emulation.

This could also help with 3mx serial emulation.

@thelastpsion Are there enough broken 3c:s to be able to decap the chip? With the node size at that time this should be quite accessible today.

@Mourioche This had me cackling and receiving worried looks in a public place πŸ˜…

@Mourioche Still not the worst roleplaying of a dwarf I've seen. Not even top ten.

people keep recommending something called typst as an alternative to latex, but I can’t seem to find it on any of the usual fetishwear stores…?

Trey Piepmeier

@heydon Bless you. Please sell a REACT IS A CULT shirt. My wife saw me watching the video when that came on the screen and said β€œSee, you’re not alone!”

Simon Scarfe

@heydon Amazing - the genocide->hooks transition is wonderful.

Just in case no one has called it out yet - a link in your transcript has the text and link the wrong way round, so it doesn't render as a link -

Screenshot showing the link bit is where the text should be and vice-versa

@Natasha_Jay
While strolling along a clear stream,
A cacophony pierced my daydream
Of all sounds of summer,
This one is a bummer,
The cicadas do nothing but scream.

@Natasha_Jay @mathias you win today. Was his name The or was it β€œThere was…” ?

For my birthday wish today, may I humbly request y'all share my Dragon Age cosplay? I made this Rogue Hawke costume + daggers, (and I also cosplay Isabela!) and am DEFINITELY cosplaying at least 2 characters from Veilguard. Just two more months until we return to Thedas!! πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή #DragonAge #Cosplay

a dark skinned black woman with natural hair wearing a red longsleeved shirt, a black leather bolero jacket with a high collar and bright gold trim, with gold buckles and X shaped straps across the chest, with silver armor at her shoulders, elbows, forearms and legs, with many brown leather straps across her torso, holding 2 daggers with green gems on them. she is pointing the daggers at the camera and grimacing as if ready to strike

Word of advice to newbies: don’t go crazy buying gear, especially new at retail, all at once. Get the minimal tools you need. And when it comes to tools, first buy the cheapest you can find that looks like it’ll do the job. If that breaks, then buy the more expensive one, preferably used - hell, sometimes we old timers give gear away. People give me stuff all the time, and I try to pay it forward.

Never liked brussel sprouts, but apparently you just need to cook them right, this recipe is _delicious_: littlespicejar.com/the-best-ga

As this worked for the Internet Archive, let’s try another one:
I am looking first an engineering contact at Youtube to troubleshoot the issue with them no longer returning metadata when Mastodon tries to fetch the preview for a video. It comes from their side and something changed a few weeks ago, and I would like to see how this can be fixed.

Fediverse, do your magic ✨

@renchap The fact that it's an issue for some instances (probably smaller ones?) and not others lends credence to the DDOS mitigation theory.

@renchap YouTube has been blocking all server-based anonymous access since August, I suspect there are no way back from this… I say those ML content crawler was to blame.
