and here we have the inevitable limited edition speedmaster for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11

uses the new 3861 movement, which is nice

also there's the possibility of getting serial number 6969/6969, which is [i]nice[/i]

@maple is it possible that they're also using packet inspection?

If that's the case then SSH-over-SSL should get around that

@maple "OI, WEATHER, BE NICER FOR MAPLE!"

@revolverocelot I thought that was counter.social

gab's thing was frozen peaches in particular and not caring who turned up

@maple I'll revise that, more racist twitter

@maple racist twitter

Looks like gab is working on a mastodon fork so they can join the fediverse

someone poke me when we know what address they'll be using so I can instance block their arses

@Lexi@octodon.social weirdly they cube

we're still not quite sure how that works

Timex are doing some really nice stuff in their "heritage"/"reissue" lines

This is a reissue of a watch that was released in 1979, looks really quite nice

@maple we're retro!

@Nine @Lazuli yeah! sonic's helping by eating all the bugs that would otherwise eat your plants!

@kellerfuchs @SuricrasiaOnline @ontploffing oh, right, that must have been where I got the titbit from

Still got the whole "for negative numbers use -1 instead of chucking another bit on there" thing though, that sounds pretty neat

@SuricrasiaOnline @ontploffing I seem to recall ternary computers would have better energy consumption and deal with negative values a little more elegantly which might be nice for some computation tasks

@maple cheese, freshly brewed coffee, blinky LEDs, a hamburger, an italodisco album, and a bunch of floppy disks

all space games should have a moonbase-alpha-like text to speech option

like a blancmange with a bunch of arms
