i finally recapped my amiga 600 that already had loads of electrolyte damage since first getting it in 2007 and it was grueling and the board is a horror show of ripped pads and bodges but now the screen doesn't dim slightly every time the floppy drive seeks and it still seems to work enough to boot a fairly bloated (for the 600) workbench with 68020 accelerator so i call that a win

is there some sort of free fairly basic pure midi editor with piano roll that functions like the ones from the 90s? my main experience making/editing midis was with Evolution MIDI which is mostly a cubase ripoff for win3.11 and searching for anything today either brings up expensive DAWs or opensource music sheet-only that needs big brains

poem but written in the same meter as "macho man randy savage" and "stone cold steve austin"

mostly logic/behaviour changes that aren't really visible. new "directional" tile type allows for runners to warp back to their initial position

The #NHS are forcibly detransitioning a #trans woman.

#PandoraHolmes is being held against her will without access to her HRT. Policy is a bridging prescription from DIY, but they are stringing her along and lying, trying to stall until she can't appeal.

This is self-justifying torture. Denied HRT because she's suffering from having her HRT withdrawn. Initially they wanted to hold her two weeks. Now she's facing 6 months. I don't even want to imagine what's next.

An adult is being forcibly detransitioned, in the UK. Make this fucking news everywhere. Before they start opening special camps for trans people.

This is the 8th stage of #genocide

This is what Republicans want for all of us. This is what Biden silently condones. This is what Starmer, Sunak, and the NHS want for all of us.

If you're trans, never forget we are fighting for our lives. If you call yourself an ally, fight for us

PSA: the latest techbro scraper to block is @jsecretan's Maven: https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/112603892765841003

Suspending maven.ly (and maybe heymaven.com just to be safe) ought to work going forward. You can also email jimmy@heymaven.com to request your content be taken down, if your profile and posts have been scraped.

finally added snare and bass, runners are sprites now, some other changes under the hood
#picotron

couple of very minimal changes. runners are now lockstep instead of each having its own bpm (sorry polyrhythms but i ended up not liking that code) and i can erase all runners without having to restart the whole program.

lots of UI to do, lots of things to add. but it's so fun

i just got my #amiga online, what are some active #bbs i should join?

"Halt and Catch Fire" premiered 10 years ago and went on for four seasons and 40 episodes. @polygon's Devan Suber describes how the beloved AMC show understood the draw of video games better than any show that's come before it. "In the words of Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace), the computer was always 'the thing that gets us to the thing,' a vector for connection, expression, or some other deeper human need."
