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

Mastodon has features to limit discovery and visibility, but it really needs features that allow everyone to see your shit but only some people to reply.

Streaming is shit.
Searching is shit.
Researching is shit.
Shopping is shit.

Another internet meme bites the dust.

this is making me wonder what if you made a build of doom that didn't precompute the geometry tables at all and randomized the value of pi every frame youtu.be/_ZSFRWJCUY4

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
