Just a 30something Canadian dude from #VancouverIsland who's into #RetroComputing (mainly old #Apple / #Mac stuff), #Programming, and general #Technology enthusiast. Also love to #Travel!

I wrote a Mastodon client for vintage Mac computers, #Macstodon, which you can get from here: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon

Occasionally I’ll post about #Anime and #Gaming, especially #ZenlessZoneZero and #HonkaiStarRail.

I boost a lot. Boosts are not endorsements.

Problem? What problem? I don't have a problem. I can stop whenever I want!

Paramount settles with Trump, and then cancels the Late Show.
If it walks like fascism, and talks like fascism, and shuts-up-opposing voices like facism…

What an incredibly dark time in America.

Stephen Colbert says The Late Show will end after 33 years

Network CBS called it a financial decision tied to the "challenging backdrop in late night" TV.

Yesterday was my first bad day on Mastodon, and what happened to me could happen to you, so let me explain what went down, and how I got blocked by a lot of people.

In March, I wrote a post critical of Musk (picture 1). I then asked another Mastodon user (Harriett) whom I have found friendly, if she would help me translate a Danish phrase to English, and linked to the Musk post where the phrase would be relevant.

But yesterday β€” 4 months later β€” that blew up in my face. Here is how…

How worried should I be that there's a 5ΒΌ" disk poking up through the ground at the local cemetery?

Something special arrived while we were away! Took a gamble on this reasonably priced IIfx board 🀞

Fortunately I have a case and the other bits from a seriously-bombed IIfx, so hopefully this one cleans up easily (some swabbing, all the chips look fine, two caps to swap). And I think I have some AAA holders handy to swap for the batteries 😊

Super busy so this may take a while to get to, but please say a prayer/incantation/whatever that it works!

@xyla woag. febroctougust
@xyla Month: mΒ·anΒ·y.
@xyla happy febroctopril
@ij
I'm comfused, for that I learned about "Februneuary" in school. @xyla
@ij need to go get a refill of my febroctopril
@xyla that's a beauty!
@xyla novulyugust is my fav
@xyla this is how I felt when using the NeXT file browser
@xyla
Whoa, do you work for Epic Systems?
@xyla @txerren A, bai, Nor-Nori-Nork taulak
@xyla if at first you don't succeed, trie, trie again
@xyla cursed UI elements part 826 😁
@xyla 🎢 Do you remember? It was the 0th day of Joctober
@xyla AAAAARRRGHHH!!! 😱
@xyla This is what is meant with "special user expirience"?
@xyla The best part is that to get some months you have to make *no* selection.
@xyla It hurts that you can, in fact, make all the months out of this, including the best months Septanugust and Decauary

@xyla "uly" could have been "ul"

Wasteful

@eris2cats
Isn't it "julyber"?
🀣

@xyla
@xyla oh no! quick hide! the septoctober is comming to eat us all!

@xyla only improvement I can think of is to start the year slider with 1385.

* stores image for next UI-project *

@xyla This is hilarious. I’m guessing that you don’t have to choose something in each month column. Otherwise you end up with months like Julyy and Febranuary.
@jadag88 @xyla Looks like the first entry in the list is an empty choice.
@xyla I really wonder whether an "AI" would get this.
Just as it shitpost probably would not get it if you place november rain random words or song titles into text falsify, just to knocking on heavens door making it difficult to use dog cat bird texts as KI training data.
@xyla
This... Is UI-UX captcha
@frssoft @xyla omg you have a point!!
@xyla This is far better design than a lot of date fields. Especially the ones that demand a specific format without making it explicit and DOB fields that default to today.
@ShiitakeToast I read your toot and I think you've misspelt your handle.
@xyla@shitpost.trade
Decoctopril, I choose you! 🫠
