Hey @BlueSCSI fans!

Did you hear the news? BlueSCSI v2 equipped with a Raspberry Pi Pico W (for wireless) now supports WiFi! It's like a DaynaPORT device in your computer!

are you a robot or otherwise synthetic intelligence? do you love your friends? do you want a single emoji to express both of those things simultaneously?

My suit turns 1 year old today! What a great year it’s been. I’ve made many wonderful friends, it’s helped me be more interactive at cons, and overall it’s gotten me out of my comfort zone more. I’m very thankful for the experiences I’ve gotten during my 1st year of suiting 💙

I always loved the ducktale style. It always makes birds look so adorable ☺️

Good morning, Fediverse!

Greets come with something that was a bit of a droolsome thing for a teen Sharka seeing them advertised and demoed on Bad Influence: The Amstrad Mega PC!

DOS gaming AND Mega Drive gaming? All wrapped up in the beige-iest of boxes and controllers?

Damn cool then and still today!

The PC side clocked in at a 25mhz 386SX, 1MB ram, and 40MB HDD - not the snappiest of specs for 1993, but there was some wiggle room for what it came with. And at a price of £500-600 in the UK, similar to some of Amstrad's other budget PCs, it was a viable option for a best-of-both-worlds and to get in on DOS gaming without forking out a thousand or more.

No, I'm not logged into this PDP-11/70 from my Z80 "personal computer" kit to change my grade in Biology class. But I am logged into the BSD 2.11 Unix that is currently running on it using serial-to-telnet capability that understands Hayes-like modem commands.

@matoakit yeah! Having a hard time finding out if they're used anywhere else though!

A thing about Mastodon that I didn't realize I'd missed from pre-algorithm Twitter is the sheer randomness of the content. No longer honed to be hyper-engaging (usually by being scary or enraging) I now see weird experiments, fun scientific papers, random shitposts. Of course it's not all exactly in my wheelhouse, but that makes it simultaneously more *interesting* while being less *addictive*. The whole experience feels a lot healthier for my brain.

I've always wondered what these plates are for. There's quite a few of them in Bradford city centre.

However I've just worked out, while writing this toot, that they point to Bradford's two central rail stations; Forster Square and the Interchange.

I don't recall seeing these anywhere else! Surely they do appear in other cities?

@kootenay Two years for me to get to London and spend a weekend on those lines then ^^

@kootenay I keep thinking about it! I'd definitely like to go ride the oldest stock of trains currently on the underground before they get replaced. :)

@kootenay Good luck! Always thought about doing something like that myself but never find the time ^^;
