Try out the original ARM OS, Arthur, on an emulated Acorn Archimedes A310, running in your browser!

https://archi.medes.live/#preset=a310-arthur&disc=arthur-welcome

Arthur was a precursor to the better-known RISC OS. Its desktop GUI is written in BASIC and was originally intended as a demo to show how a WIMP-style interface might work, but Acorn decided to ship it as part of the Arthur ROM - gaudy colours, bugs and all.

Click the floppy icon to browse the Welcome Disc that came with the Archimedes and try out some of the apps designed to show off the blazing-fast 8Mhz ARM2 RISC CPU.

We're at the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage event in Germany! Meet us at our stand, grab some merchandise, and chat to us about the LibreOffice project 😊 https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2023/en/

Coders – learn more about how LibreOffice works "under the hood"! Our latest dev blog post looks at VCL, the internal GUI toolkit: https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/2023/03/03/vcl-application-in-its-minimal-form/

We are excited to announce the first #RISCVSummitEurope! Taking place in Barcelona from June 5-9, this event will bring together the global #RISCV ecosystem. Register, explore sponsorship packages, and view our call for submissions (open until March 13): https://riscv-europe.org/

Woo hoo!!!! We are at 10 lines people!!!!!! 😎

Today's fun with #fuzix #retrocomputing is the NS32K. For platforms whose toolchain doesn't produce nice relocation data I link twice at two addresses 256 bytes apart and find the bytes that differ by 1. Easy - but not the NS32K. Oh no. Jumps have the address of the target big endian as do some other things, and the rest is little endian, except for the stuff which is a 30 bit signed constant. So link it at 0 and 0x00020100 and the order of the differences tells me which way for each relocation

This is challenging......

Congrats to @kicad on the 7.0.0 release!

Why would anyone spend all that time hand-vectorising a Mac desktop screenshot? ​
