@jbiserkov @tshirtman @xale @sop For some reason, Mastodon seems to label all video as "GIF", which is frustrating to me

@strypey Frankly, it's not a hill either of us need to die on because even in the screenshots you gave, you can see that all your clients actually *do* display a server. Take a look :) we're both talking about @ mentions but when it comes to viewing a post, *all five* of the screenshotted clients show the poster's server, which is what matters for following a news source.
At any rate, @ index isn't the best name, so they could change it for *that* reason, as you were saying.

@citrus_marine Hey I mean it can go from 6mil to 14mil in one day too in theory, right? But don't burn yourself out ;)

@programming_quotes ❗

@strypey @mho @tangle_news @feed @index @index @feed @index @feed @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index I've used several and they usually automatically show or hide the server part of the handle depending on context, which is usually enough.

@andros Neat. What I do is put a leading space before the command, like ` echo 'secret sauce' >> .secretsaucedb`. Works on most shells and shell configurations, though I haven't always found it enabled so I might do ` echo test` first and then hit the up arrow to see if it was remembered.

@btp Wow

@rl_dane @lexknowssystems R. L. Dane don't criticize Microsoft for once challenge (possible)

@wholesomememes And labs too! 🥰

@strypey @mho @tangle_news @feed @index @index @feed @index @feed @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index @index Given that the server is an important identifying part of the handle (since users with the same username would appear the same without it) most Fedi clients do not remove the server part of the handle unless the viewer is on the same server. So it isn't a big deal to change the username, I'm frankly just glad to find more news orgs on Fedi.

@CM30 Ooh, I don't have a Switch 2 but I like the Donkey Kong games (as different as this one looks). Curious to hear what you think!

Some main project goals:
* Not too many 74-series chips required to create. [Terribly rough estimate: under 150 chips]
* The ISA and physical architecture elegantly line up.
* The ISA doesn't highly prioritize ISA future-proofing.
* Not a drag to asm program in!
* About as powerful as a 16-bit machine might be expected to be. Practical (not like Ben Eater's CPU), but more barebones than Bill Buzbee's CPU.
* No microcode -- pure bare-metal.

Inspired by Buzbee I decided to design-in virtual memory into my system as well; my current design has 128KiB virtual address space (per process), 4KiB pages, and up to 256MiB of physical memory. Unlike Buzbee's computer, mine unfortunately doesn't support page faults; the virtual memory system is solely for memory protection, allowing fast memory reallocation (e.g. no memory compaction), and allowing more than 128K of physical RAM.

I have a new ISA for this one which I'm calling Bones. 32 op(codes), 16-bit word, 16-bit memory byte, MISC, 5 general-purpose regs and a stack, reg+offset indirect addressing, and more, all designed to be relatively easy to make out of 74-series logic chips.

There is a user mode and kernel mode.

There are no immediates, you use an instruction to set the high byte of the next instruction's literal if you need numbers further from 0 than -128 through 127.

So I've had a dream for a long time to create my own physical computer CPU. I've designed lots of ISAs, my favorite of which is SubSky (my best one; I've written an emulator for it, Sbse).
But now that I know about physical implementation, I can try my hand at my own homemade computer from 74-series logic chips (commonly called "TTL logic chips"), like Bill Buzbee's #Magic-1 computer (check it out! https://homebrewcpu.com/ ).
