if isn't trans culture, then i don't know what is :flag_transgender:

Whenever you toot anything like 'the person reading this is cute and valid', always remember to reread it, because you're cute and valid too!

Interesting trivia: As high a limit as it is, there is actually a length limit on image captions here. I run out sometimes at 415 characters each & sometimes at 420 characters each.

eBay recommendations are weird. It recommended absolutely nothing Amiga for my A500 2MB RAM upgrade, but it recommended a whole bunch of Amiga stuff for my Timex Sinclair 1000 16KB RAM upgrade. It even recommended I buy a $8,000 SGI system because I bought an MS-DOS guide.

Mastodon Tips 

Reporting in mastodon is not like reporting on birdsite. Your report isn't reviewed by a faceless employee of a giant corporation. Instead, your post is reviewed by your local moderation team that you can directly talk to. Your report helps them be aware of the kinds of content appearing on timelines on your instance and enables them to improve the mastodon experience for your instance!

I left the ZX81 alone in the kaleidoscope program, and after the same long delay, it started the weird colors again. I turned the TV off and back on, and not only were the colors still there, the TV took most of a minute rolling, fading to & from static, alternately showing something & "no signal," to sync with the ZX81's signal again.

Now I've got to either dive into uncharted territory (the RF modulator) or look at a composite mod. Help & pointers appreciated.

One of the weird things here is that a lot of people misunderstand the federated timeline. They think it represents the whole world, or some subset of it. It's not. It's just the world your instance knows about.

There's actually whole worlds out there in the fediverse that are nothing like our world here.

When we talk about how "mastodon is so awesome," what we're really talking about is our little corner of it. And that is something I love. :)

people are giving and receiving Headpats at incredible speeds ... and it is all thanks to the humble computer chip

I have an old 286 with both FDD sizes I needed to clean up anyway. The HDD was already formatted & empty, so I installed DOS on it (verifying my DSHD floppies work), & I'll bring in a bunch of DSDDs to make one bootable & sneakernet the installed OS over.
