Sounds like mastodon.social is turning out to be a bad place to be. Imma start using my alt @grimmware as my main, will do a slow roll-over.
Mr. 1057Today I woke up and saw someone posting an article entitled "If You Are Not Happy with the State of Magic, Stop Giving Wizards Your Money"
It's about Magic the Gathering, but man. It really took me a minute.
@pfm @spazzpp2 “this will never happen because racists won’t like it” is likely something that had to be shouted down in every Hollywood proposal that ended in a movie about a black protagonist being released.
Fuck em, don’t worry about calling out their concerns because it normalises that it will happen. It *should* be a shock when it happens.
I say this as someone who has a habit of pointing out the potential pitfalls of a good idea - it kills enthusiasm more quickly than it solves problems.
ike@nicksellen love it!! using tech skills to support communities is 💯
blue-collar as in very similar to an electrical shop that does service work -- when you have trouble with your legacy application that's hand-built or has lots of integrations, you could call a crew that's experienced in *keeping old systems running* and *bringing them up to standard* over time.
@wolf480pl yes and yes :)
It was crazy simple, I just snipped the video and 5V in just inside the case for the modulator (okay, ended up doing video in just *outside* because the wire was jammed in between a resistor and a capacitor) and the video out from the output jack and wired all three into a TheFutureWas8Bit Atari 2600 composite mod, along with ground to the modulator casing.
Basically just followed this http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2016/11/zx81-composite-video-modification.html
@m3lang3 I’ve got one of those :) I’m going to do an internal 32K RAM mod and the see if I can use the edge connector as GPIO instead!
Surgery was a success! The ZX81 now has composite video! Shame most of the keys don’t work (probably the shitty ends on the connectors to be fair) but in all honesty I was planning on replacing it outright with a complete front patio remodelling if you know what I mean.
That and the 32K internal ram mod and first round of renovations is done!
@dualhammers if I wasn’t already up to my eyeballs in vim muscle-memory I would be cutting my teeth on something entirely different, to be sure.
