I guess we saw this coming a mile away, but hoped they’d keep out of each other’s way.
Le sigh…
It’s Commodore International B.V.* vs Commodore Industries S.r.l.** In a slap fight over the Commodore name and logo.

🇵🇹 Traduzimos a página do evento #odiamaiscurto, que vai rolar no dia 21 de dezembro no #DigitalRetroPark, para o português. Vem passar o dia mais curto do ano com a gente, assistindo a curtas-metragens, rodeado de #retrocomputers.

«Agora ou nunca», em vez do «sim, já», «em breve», «quando tiver oportunidade» ou «algum dia» que a gente costuma preferir, passou pela nossa cabeça quando criamos o LusOFest no ano passado. Na altura, o que nos motivou foi o 50.º aniversário da Revolução dos Cravos em Portugal. Sentimos um impulso semelhante este ano, quando vimos que o dia 21 de dezembro, o dia mais curto do ano, o Dia do Curta-Metragem, calha num domingo. Teríamos de fazer alguma coisa, certo?
We've translated the event page for the #shortfimday on 21 December at the #DigitalRetroPark into English. Come and spend the shortest day of the year with us watching shorts, surrounded by #retrocomputers.

‘Now or never’ as opposed to our often preferred ‘yes, right away,’ ‘soon,’ ‘when the opportunity arises’ or ‘sometime’ crossed our minds when we founded LusOFest last year. At that time, we were inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal. We felt a similar impulse this year when we saw that 21 December, the shortest day of the year, Short Film Day, falls on a Sunday this year. Surely, we should do something about that, right?
New account on a new instance. So let me repost my Tandy 1000 HX. #retrocomputing #retrocomputers

Latest food-stained item:
This is the back of a copy of Little Computer People for the C64.
It has suspicious splatters all over the back of the case. These were the worst bits.

I’m a bit of a retro computer nut. Just one of my adhd obsessions that comes back to haunt me regularly.
Anyways this is unspoken in the scene, but I feel I have to address it.
JFC people. WIPE THE DAMN NEAR 40-YEAR-OLD FOOD SPLATTERS OFF YOUR GEAR **BEFORE YOU SHIP IT** Damn!
I do not need your 1980s curry leftovers, thanks!
