Learn how to program an 8-bit computer. It’s the biggest f*ck you to AI bros and their slop; you will learn more about computers than you ever will from gluing frameworks together, and lastly it will come with no responsibility whatsoever.

Stop contributing #JavaScript and #Python knowledge to the slop vendors. Microsoft, Google, Apple et al can’t make money off of 6502 or Z80 code. More Commodore 64 games existing is not going to contribute to murder drones shooting kids.

Volevo iniziare il 2026 con un buon proposito.

Volevo iniziare a fare le react + recensioni ai retro-giochi di merda, di quei vecchi coin-op che si trovano anche per MAME e che onestamente fanno cagare. Anzi. Hanno sempre fatto cagare, anche quando la sala giochi coi topi era sempre più interessante dei programmi che davano sugli unici 3 canali della TV (quando erano di meno ero troppo piccolo per la sala giochi del baretto...).

Forse hanno però delle cripto-comunità di fanatici appassionati e mi sto mettendo nei guai...

Ma non lo saprò finché non ci provo...

Is there a CLI tool out there that'll show me the bytes in common across lots of files, and their offsets? I'm doing a bit of binary file format analysis, hoping to contribute some types into shared-mime-info for ZX Spectrum and Commodore emulation disk+tape+cartridge files. Trying to fix up some ".tap" and ".d80" name clashes with More Magic  🔄
