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:
*I did this as a video several months ago, and folks have asked for it as an article so here it is. 👍
New to the Retro Computing collection: File Maker Pro 4. I think I’ll be cataloging my collection using it! 😘

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.

@WooShell Ooooh you're right about the raised eyebrow about "freely distributable". I hadn't noticed Sawyer's self declaration before. I might be wrong then: https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/06/wordstar_7_the_last_ever/
@WooShell His .zip comes with DOSBox-X, pre-configured for a Windows portable application execution, and 1000~ pages of scans from the WS manuals. I imagine that inflated it quite a bit. :)
#Wordstar 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.
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!
#BREADBOX is the coolest Commodore classic computers emulation sim-suite! It's brilliantly skeuomorphic. Picked it up today and gave it a quick whirl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQtWXXYjBvM

@darth_hideout@mastodon.social I think they meant 70 in in our RL TV years and I goofed. They said "spanning 7 different decades". I made the mistake of equating that with 70 years because I thought Dr Who started in the 50s but it was actually 1963. My bad. :D
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
