It is April again. And it's #AmigApril again. Actually for the fifth time. Can you believe that? Started in 2022 on Instagram and since last year I try bring it also to the Fediverse.

You know the drill: Join in and post your fondest memories, your hottest 16-bit tech or just enjoy the month-long Amiga-awesomeness :)

The Hashtag is #AmigApril

Putting out a call to Star Trek fans here on Mastodon. Does anyone have an extra 2022 Hallmark Star Trek Replicator mug they're willing to part with? I'll pay for it and shipping. Our cat destroyed mine tonight and it was my favorite mug and my ritual to drink from it when watching Trek.

Just something to ponder on for a few months yet.

I need to move off Intel Mac, but I'm starting to think I don't need a Mac at all? I'm disliking macOS more and more, and I don't do iOS or macOS development any more (if I ever need to I can get a Mac Mini or old M1). My iPhone lets me do iCloud things just fine.

My problem is that the Apple CPUs are still way ahead of x86, though Intel's latest Core Ultra 7 3xx approach the base M5 at least. The Ultra 7 2xx laptops I can buy today are in the M1/M2 class.

But does that really matter...

🤔

Edit: Sold.

I have one of these in the original box. British English layout. Unused as I use a mechanical keyboard at my desk. Anyone looking for one for half price? £74 + £5 P&P. I want to put the money towards an iPad Pro 13 Magic Keyboard.

Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂

Guess what? Most of code is either slop or even old good regex like for detecting negative sentiment in users prompt which is then logged

These tools are going to replace 80% of all dev jobs and their plugin is gonna maintain all security and banking code? 🤡

reposting for the day crowd: I ran into a memcmp implementation that only compared 25% of the bytes, and the issue wasn't caught in the build because the vendor toolchain failed to emit a warning.
