social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

something that stands out to me is how the erased side is straighter than the formatted side being wobbly. that's (i imagine) a tell that the original formatting was done in a different drive with a slightly different head alignment

i played with flux-erasing a disk and then reading it back and for some reason it managed to not erase a couple of tracks on one side which makes for very educational material comparing a demagnetized track vs. a FAT12 MFM formatted one

yeah it's fine now

i can read and write amiga disks, woo

it might've been a drive issue, a raw flux image with 3 revs per track seems to make a perfect image? or i've done something wrong, lol

ok new #greaseweazle issue:

i've got a PC drive now and it properly works for reading

however with multiple disks (Amiga and DOS format) i am getting missing sectors somewhere above tracks 60-70 (varies a bit by disk)

is this my disks being consistently bad or is this indicative of a common drive issue?

anyone know anything about #greaseweazle ?

i just got a V4.1 i'm trying with two amiga drives, i have --drive=0 option, both drives properly spin and seek (if i force a cylinder or use the clean function), but any read operation returns Command Failed: GetFluxStatus: No Index

i'm hoping the greaseweazle itself isn't the issue, still waiting on a pc floppy drive to arrive

"cozy horror game" what do words even mean anymore

is anyone still programming computers or are we all just writing webpages now

why is an app asking me about cookie settings. cookies from what. are you not separate from the web browser i'm not meant to be using

taking away the word "cozy" from steam developers' vocabulary and putting it on the high shelf until they learn how to use it

am i having a very vivid false memory or did someone somewhat recently unveil an unreleased prototype of something not entirely unlike a web browser for the sega mega drive
