rt if u agree, fav if u agree https://twitter.com/isislovecruft/status/1031794845109477377
wow, you seem to like this lol
can't blame you
vaartis@espectalll not really a rainbow, but rather the visible light spectrum probably
bhtooefr (copper-doped zinc sulfide aspect)@espectalll But what if I want to bring monochrome displays back again? Then it'd be false advertising.

@bhtooefr then don't put a rainbow
you can't get everything in life, deal with it *puts on sunglasses*
apetresc@espectalll What is that second one? The one with the rainbow over the keyboard.
@apetresc Sinclair Spectrum ZX, pretty popular across Europe in the 80s
Famicom :verified:@espectalll also bring back pc cases that aren't black. I'd love a colorful pc case. Like green or yellow or blue or purple
@famicom luckily we're getting more colorful phones lately, which I think are more important (Huawei, Sony, even Samsung), and you can also get a wide variety of desktop case... even with... LEDs...
@espectalll I actually loved how iPhone 5c looked, but nowt the fact that it was just an iPhone 5 in a new case. I hope we see more bright budget phones. That's the reason I loved Lumias
@famicom SAME, I both wanted the 5c and got a Lumia 630. I like my XZ2 Compact's moss green tho.
@espectalll how's the compact? For me, I feel like 5" isn't exactly "compact" enough. I would've called it an XZ2 Average Screen Size
@famicom It's... small enough. Kinda like the iPhone 8 but thicker and with less width, the most important things (being able to hold it with one hand and fitting in pockets) still apply
@espectalll thanks for the pic. I currently own a 6s+ and it's honestly bigger than comfortable. I think I'll go with an SE 2 if/when it releases
@espectalll imagine if they did an iPhone CE (Colorful Edition). Like 5c, but good
@famicom They could perfectly do it, making colorful iMacs and iBooks was *their* thing, after all, and there's the (RED) edition iPhones.
@espectalll I'd love to see the return of polycarbonate macbooks with all the different colors
@famicom Honestly I think it has just exactly the size it has to have - a tiny bit larger anywhere and it wouldn't work. If you think an SE2 or equivalent would work better... well, I bet Apple is basically going to do the same and just make a slightly-smaller device but with more screen-to-body ration than the 8. We'll see soon.
Lenneth@espectalll Back when colours were so impressive on computers that everyone had to have it on their logo

@Lenneth Exactly! Apple did it first and that worked out, so everyone had to copy it... except IBM, of course.

@calmbit is this from the Atari ST lol
@espectalll Nope! It's from a custom virtual machine and architecture that @dr1ft has been developing, and I've been assisting with :)

Astra!@espectalll @calmbit it's from a custom architecture vm that me and her have been working on for the past few weeks

@espectalll @dr1ft https://gitea.vertesine.com/dr1ft/STARVM is the current home of the VM, although it's still in super-beta mode right now. There are some extra files required to run it that aren't included, but exist on seperate repos on @dr1ft 's account. It's early days yet :)

@calmbit @espectalll I don't even think we can call it beta yet, or even alpha lmao
@espectalll @dr1ft we're still sorta figuring things out as we go along, but milestones would probably be a good step in the right direction :)

@kurisu @beefgnawpolis I guess that one in the picture looks too orange lol
I get it still looks quite unpolished tho
@espectalll @beefgnawpolis yes, the thinkpad keyboard is a big oof

INACTIVE@espectalll @beefgnawpolis kind of looks like a bento box
@deadsuperhero @beefgnawpolis indeed, I wouldn't find it strange if they were inspired by that!

benjymousPerfect time for me to plug:
grapefruitopia.itch.io/prism-384/
@benjymous > for Windows and macOS
I think like half of the fediverse doesn't have Windows or macOS 🤔
@benjymous Still, neat idea, in particular I find the mix of old with new (JS, VSCode support) pretty interesting
@espectalll runs fine on Linux too I'm just yet to figure out how to make distro agnostic builds - there's also a html5 build, but that has a few flaws due to lack of decent threading support currently in webasm.
One of my ultimate goals is to have it running on a raspberry pi and build an 80s style keyboard wedge case for it.
Samuele (surveyor3) MIGRATED@espectalll also we should sign to take back coloured ThinkPad logo
