That time I took the 23rd anniversary PDF and made it accessible by recreating it as a TXT file (with search based tags for navigation), and also a 5 document that preserved the PDF layout as much as I could manage. ;) (Jim Hall helped out by providing text copy used in the PDF.)

3 years ago I volunteered to create a new edition of Ethan Winer’s 1990s BASIC programming book using LibreOffice (@libreoffice). Over the span of a year, with Ethan’s editorial input, I rebuilt the book layout from TXT sources in , and recreated all diagrams from scratch using , and . It turned out great!

Les Tutos Mastodon de la communauté #MastoEcolo débarquent !

Nous sommes une centaine d'écolos réunis sur une boucle d'échange par notre intérêt pour le réseau social #Mastodon, ses principes et ses possibilités techniques.

On pense que c'est important d'en être, que c'est en phase avec les convictions et les valeurs écolos.

Et on a donc produit 4 tutos d'une page chacun, à partager librement (licence Creative Commons, PDF avec liens cliquables au bout du lien) !

Here's a fun program you can write. Make a Cylon eye that sweeps back and forth like the original Battlestar Galactica:

Microsoft when it announces ending support for Windows 10 while most people can't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11: "Just stop being broke and buy a new computer, bro"

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Feb 10:

Q: Why are Black people in the US so much more likely to die in traffic accidents than white people? Are Black folk more likely to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI)? Is it street racing? Are y'all just bad drivers?

A: Hmm. I'm stumped! No one knows the answer to why this happens! Just kidding. It's racism. It's always racism.

is now freely distributable and Robert J. Sawyer has worked hard to create a .zip with both WS and DOSBox-X already configured for running after unzipping.

sfwriter.com/ws7.htm

It comes configured for a Windows system with local C:/ drive. You need to put the WS folder in the Zip in your local C:/ root path, and then DB-X will auto-mount and run WS automatically.

Mac and Linux users will need their own DB-X and to edit the .conf for mounting to Unixy paths.

From 1992 to 1997, Apple shipped over 40 Macintosh models wearing a Performa badge. I'm writing about all of them on @512pixels during August.

Welcome to Performa Month!

Ok this made me cry. A celebration of 70 years of space family and friendships. *wipes a tear* I would have bawled outright if it was Doctor Who x Star Trek x Firefly. :D

You're on my crew. o7

I LOVE this messaging. Community manager of encourages people to take a break if they need to. They "can always come home, even a year later" etc. If only the community could be this warm and accepting, and not call any urge to take a break a "dead game, make Destiny 3" signal: youtube.com/watch?v=ay3pqYZf_j

A little bit of logo repair. The 25 year old glue had finally lost its adhesion.
