@ezcontents Yeah, it worked. But any particular reason why?

Fine, Java MIGHT be a good example of what a programming language should be like. But Java applications are good examples of what applications SHOULDN'T be like. #quotes #programming

I've just recently learned that you can follow hashtags in mastodon. Game changer!

Did you know that if you capitalize each word in a multi-word hashtag, #ScreenReaders can read them as words, but if you leave them lowercase, they can't? Well, now you know! So, for #accessibility, please capitalize words when there's more than one in a hashtag.
@craigmaloney@octodon.social Thanks!
@Dbug That, but also have a 3V and a 5V bus for different internal (future/development) components (for example the IDE port you can see there), MIDI internal port (to connect a Dreamblaster X2), etc.

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."
That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?
Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.
THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.
@Dbug Thanks!
Yeah, I know, the TTs are expensive; I'm waiting for a good deal.
As for the STe, I'm actually building one, based on Exxos' Phoenix board. Will post pictures later.
@stevelord I do want to do real software/hardware development in the Falcon, I just need to find time.
As for the Stacy, I use it together with my dot-matrix printer and make holiday cards. 
But, mainly, I have them as collection items.
@mardonet It is https://thehighnibble.com/imsai8080/
It is super fun to build!
@mardonet It's a replica. Let me know if you want the info of the kit.
@Wintermute_BBS Thanks! The backlight of the screen was broken, and I was fortunate to find a replacement. You can check here on how I disassembled it: https://vintagecomputers.code.blog/
@Wintermute_BBS It is so beautiful! And I have to fortune to own one.
"This situation" (for the people that knows what I'm talking about) must be similar to what happened to #atari : you can buy the brand, but still kill the spirit of a company.
