The difference between the #fediverse and big tech social media during the last week:

On #mastodon and #loops people told me that they liked my work and wished me a lovely day.

On Instagram people told me that I'm a sick piece of meat and I should hang myself.

I know my tribe.

The dream of most people on Twitter, Instagram, and such, is to have an enormous mansion in Florida. The dream of most people on Mastodon is to have a small decent house somewhere in a forest where it's not too hot.

First day wearing this new shirt that arrived yesterday.

Saw it scrolling by on mastodon a few days ago and had to get one for myself. Can't find the toot anymore, but here's the shop link: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/70096211-stop-forcing-ai-into-fucking-everything-original

*edit* it was this toot! https://wandering.shop/@maco/116075925593898835

Last night I finally emulated my childhood. I went back to my Z80 emulator, ported it to .NET 10, added a ULA emulator, wired it up with MonoGame, and got a working ZX Spectrum running from the ground up.

I wrote about what the machine meant to me, and about five games, Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg, Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf, The Hobbit, and what each of them taught me about software design without me knowing it at the time.

I finally emulated my childhood

Last night I decided to dedicate some time to my old [z80 emulator](https://sklivvz.com/posts/z80). I've squashed a few bugs and ported it to .NET 10. Then I added a ULA emulator.

a random person saw my blog post about the CYD and liked it so much that they wanted to pay me directly - i told them to donate to western health instead, and they did! everyone wins: old mate got his little computer working, the hospital gets a bit of extra money (they'll use it wisely) and i feel warm and fuzzy having helped someone
