@tschak Mastodon has been incredibly down on AI as of late, so its nice to actually hear a levelheaded take on the topic.

I've been dabbling with it for a month or so now on an open source project of mine and its pretty neat stuff. My free time is at an absolute premium these days, so I feel absolutely no guilt about having these things provide extra code review or make some unit tests. It just means I can produce a something better than before in less time. Its just a tool.

@thomasorus I used to use it and I will agree that the cosmic DE does look nice, but at this point I'm just too used to using GNOME. Also, at least when I tried it some months ago, it still had some growing pains (as it is a new DE). I ultimately ended up switching over to project bluefin. PopOS, pre-cosmic was actually pretty great, but I feel like it got a bit worse during my time using it. That said, if you are curious... spin it up and see what you think for yourself.

I just launched my new video:

"Wildbits BAREBONES C game project tutorial" to get people going with this platform (fmr. known as F256).

It is 2026. A kid coded this superbasic program for hours for father's day, on a Wildbits/K2 (6502/816 based wedge computers) The father is the owner of the #Wildbits line. It's think it's fair to call this wholesome!

Please boost for #retrocomputing crowd...

1. A while ago, I remember seeing the 8048 firmware for the IBM Model F keyboard posted online. I can no longer seem to find it. Does anyone have a copy of it?

2. Additionally, I recall that with the copy I had, there was no context to how it was read out. Is there a debug/test mode on 8048 that lets you read out the firmware, similar to NCR 6500/1 (the Amiga keyboard controller, which has a few documented ways to read the mask ROM)?

Greetings everybody! I just put the finishing touches on my latest video. The topic this time around, is on this quirky new high-level language I've been developing. It's appreciably longer than my normal videos as it is a consolidation of many months of work. If you are interested in this sort of thing, please check it out. Enjoy!
