I for one prefer the green mammoth tick to the blue bird tick. It means a website is linked to a #Mastodon profile through a html link attribute. Difficult to fake (or buy). Clever. #Fediverse #Twitter #Birdsite

160 columns (yes 160!) text rendered Mandelbrot.

This employs my column doubling program that halves the width of text in ANY text/graphics mode (except MODE 7).

The Atari 2800 controller is an interesting beast - it's a joystick and a paddle in one! Internally it uses a potentiometer for the paddle part and metal spring contacts for the joystick part (basically the same as the classic Atari CX-40). The 2800 console was the Japanese version of the 2600 and was later released in the US as the Sears Video Arcade II.
