I have rediscovered the joy of lying in my bed with a laptop on my chest and playing chilled out computer games.
@joeress and then….
@nixCraft My thirty year old Canon BJC-85 works perfectly with both Linux and my ZX Spectrum +3.
In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done. Messy source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/vJa5RiZWs.

The second installment in "Update all the orphaned ports!": Frotz for the Amiga.

This great Amiga port from 2007 now uses the newest Z-Code engine from Frotz 2.5.5 (2025).

Now I'm curious how the data looks for us nerds over here on the fediverse: where do you register your domains?

If at multiple places, let's interpret this as if you were registering a domain today, where would you register it?

tackily if you don't mind boosting I'd actually like a lot of data on this I'm really curious!

@grumpygamer My Framework 13 is virtually silent (it does have a fan but you have to strain to hear it, and even then it’s only when I’m really pushing it).

Great philosophy too about it being completely modular and replaceable, it might be the last complete (new) laptop I ever buy.

It’s just a shame the company themselves have supported some dubious views in the recent past.

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users

#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person

They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"

@marcprux has written an open letter, signed by likeminded organisations who want to #keepandroidopen

An Open Letter Opposing Android Developer Verification | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

If you use AI-generated code, you currently cannot claim copyright on it in the US. If you fail to disclose/disclaim exactly which parts were not written by a human, you forfeit your copyright claim on *the entire codebase*.
