It is shocking to me how modern technology has replaced more basic devices, without actually being as capable than the things it replaces. I had just assumed that most people still owned a radio, but the Spanish power outage today has revealed that they don't! I'm extremely surprised by this.

Broadcast media is simple and resilient. If you don't own a radio, and an antenna for your TV, you should consider fixing that.

The

has launched a crowdfunded challenge to the Supreme Court and their abominable take on trans rights. Donate if you can, or help by spreading the word far and wide. Boost, repost, do your part. We won't let the bigots win.

If you make a point and click adventure game (or a more modern, first person puzzle game) you MUST follow the golden rule:

Be VERY CAREFUL when adding a sledgehammer, a screwdriver, a crowbar, or a shovel. Players will try to use these on EVERYTHING THEY SEE, and be confused when they can't.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use,

has no venture capital investors,

has no shareholders to answer to,

has no growth targets,

with a web interface with zero cookies,

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in.

Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

I've just released !EliteNet, my first #RISCOS application in 30 years.

It allows #Archimedes #Elite to transmit to an #Econet multiplayer scoreboard (see Yoda’s score in the second screenshot, for example).

I’ve loved every minute of this little side project!

Here's the repo: https://github.com/markmoxon/elite-over-econet-acorn-archimedes

If you want to see this in action, we’ll be playing multiplayer Elite at the National Museum of Computing’s LAN Party on 7-8 June.

You can find more information about the party here, including ticket details: https://www.tnmoc.org/events/econet-lan-party-2025-1b

See you there!
