Handiest new FOSS tool I've found in quite a while, it can identify content & filetype of files by signatures, which are defined in a scripting language. The Hachoir suite is also quite good but this software brings a whole new set of features. https://twitter.com/binitamshah/status/1461698311732097028?s=20
@thomasfuchs LOL, created a PHP-based dropbox at my university running on one of these but seriously, all P4s need to be hunted down and destroyed. They exist only to waste energy without any artistic merit.
Coronavirus, Elon Musk
So it turns out that the "ventilators" that Musk was bragging about donating to hospitals (and his fanboys were praising far and wide) turn out to be surplus CPAP machines. Which, if adapted by already overworked hospital staff who probably don't have the parts anyway, can INCREASE the spread of infection.
I'll say it again, every single thing he's done has been a publicity stunt to make him look heroic. Every god damn thing.
@porsupah I promise you: every story about 'lost cosmonauts' is a lie. A couple of Oberg's notes about the Judica-Cordiglia brothers:

And some other pieces of his about secret Soviet space disasters. From 1975, and only barely out of date given later knowledge: http://www.jamesoberg.com/phantoms.html
And from 1988, again, barely altered by the opening of Soviet archives: http://www.jamesoberg.com/usd10.html
A friend's enthusing over Cavalry, a new animation program for macOS and Windows. Currently available as a free public beta:
@porsupah yeah, 23.85fps. Just tried some other footage with fast moving gradients (paints mixing) and blockies hit hard, possibly need to experiment with color modes though like 4:2:0
Oooh. @Rabit just pointed out this little trove of RISC-V SBC goodies..

TinyGo 0.8 adds preliminary support for the GameBoy Advance 😘
Late night messing about on the iPad using Beatmaker3 & LayR synth. Beatmaker3 is nearly FL Studio for iPad while LayR seems to have nothing that comes close.

@mavica No idea, the DSK was my first proper keyboard but I put it away when I got an Emu IV. Might've gotten the 2nd one at a swap meet then forgot about it. Now I'm kind of interested in trying out a Lisp interpreter that someone implemented as a custom OS for these.
