I have this theory that Ladybird is effectively a grift for corpo donations.

a port of netsurf with modern TLS for Mac OS 9 is the thing i am most excited about today github.com/mplsllc/macsurf

i found a cool post about a cool thing but i can't boost it because it's by someone who's blocked me 🙂

@suricrasia what slur do i use if i exclusively play assaultcube multiplayer mapmaking mode

i keep having grandiose plans to build a synth/sampler out of a rpi pico and a toy keyboard. kinda like a cheaper op-1

I'm also willing to part with the APC Key 25 on a trade, if you're in the UK.

I slightly regret buying an Akai APC Key 25 because I thought I could make fun use of the RGB button matrix but it's really only supported through Ableton, and despite the manual suggesting how to interface with it directly the information is partial at best and a customer support rep told me it's "confidential", hilariously enough.

What 25-key sized MIDI controllers do people like? I like the layout of the Akai MPK mini but I'd like to check out more options.

@Radgryd huh, wonder why that didn't come up in my searches. it might work

i am looking for a database of video games, or a way to scrape to build one

initially, i need:

  • title
  • genre
  • platform (aiming for DS for starters)
  • release date
  • region
  • boxart is a nice-to-have i can figure out how to get separately

i have looked at: gametdb, thegamesdb, launchbox, rawg. for different reasons (the biggest one being erroneous data) they don't work for me. the most accurate data come from sources i can't easily scrape (like mobygames)

suggestions and boosts welcome

today i soldered a few 0201s by paw

(a microscope was involved, natch)

what the fuck. i force rebooted it plugged into USB. the battery is fully charged. Why did it give me an empty battery symbol and refuse to boot

and yet i will persevere against rockbox's many annoyances because i like having a portable Amiga mod (and other computer/vgm formats) player without having to convert them to mp3
