Open call for obsolete sounds! This project is really fascinating. They're requesting recordings of sounds from our environment, old tech, etc. that are no longer commonplace and then those will be reimagined by sound artists "to draw attention to the world’s disappearing soundscapes." https://citiesandmemory.com/2022/05/open-call-your-field-recordings-of-obsolete-sounds-wanted/

Servicing the CPU + GPIB board is easier than expected, only four screws to open the cover. Powered by a Motorola 6800 CPU (6802 exactly). #electronics

MicroFleng is a low level concurrent logic programming language descended from Prolog. A cross-compiler for UNIX-compatible systems is provided to translate programs written in FLENG into executable code for Z80 CPUs running CP/M, the Commodore 64 and Uxn, Oh, and it does.. GRAPHICS?!

Note: Previous being an antonym for Next makes the name clever but makes it a PITA to find on a search engine.

Previous, emulating a NeXTstation Mono (non-turbo, so 68040 25 mhz with 33 MB of RAM)

I can't move to the Fediverse properly until I reproduce my famous pinned post from the birdsite, so here it is:

P.S.A. To all vintage computer and video game collectors:

Go through your collections and GET THE DAMN BATTERIES OUT!

Now! Don't wait! Seriously, put down the phone, go to your collection and take out all the batteries. Right now! Even if they look "okay" they are NOT SAFE after this much time.

Finally got around to playing with 8fl! I'm going to try to use it to compose the music for my game project.

I've been given the wonderful responsibility of organizing the 1st ever #fennel #gamejam. Come write some awesome lua lisp games with us from May 25th - June 1st! https://itch.io/jam/fennel-game-jam-1

@OpenScienceFeed @julm so can I download it? a web form doesn't seem to me like 'making 150 million entities available'

At this point, what more can be said.

The US is a death cult.
