GrafX2 is a hidden #graphics gem. It is specialized in 256-color drawing and one of its main supported platforms is not #Linux, its #FreeBSD . How lovely.

Updating FreeTube ... It would be great if people upload their videos on a PeerTube instance too for people like me who don't want to use YouTube.

In 1979 BYTE magazine published The BYTE Book of Pascal, an anthology of articles about the language, comparisons with other languages, and lots of source code of programs ranging from Pascal compilers to utilities and games.

A fascinating account of an era when Pascal was still relatively new and promising and programmers were discovering what it could do.

Yo el primer ordenador que toqué fue el ZX Spectrum pero no era mío, era de un amigo que venía de UK.

@arcade Good Luck!

According to a toot from @mdhughes today is 61 years of BASIC https://appdot.net/@mdhughes/114432147368726669

BASIC was my first language and I learned it on this wonderful machine 😉

@evgandr I love shot #2. You managed to make a very nice shot. The textures, the light, and making the best to incorporate the green bar into the composition. Congrats.

I just read: "This is my first time using RSS...", and I realized how unaware people is about basic tech and internet things 😲

"Smart" phones and walled gardens have made so much harm... And now with LLMs (aka AI) things are getting worse rapidly.

I've adorned my cassette emulator device with a hand whittled label. The top panel has some bumps from through-board solder pads, so nothing I can do about that. But overall it's alright, if you don't look too closely and/or judge too harshly.

@electron_greg Love it! 🔥

@ry @kalleboo Ooooh, Think Pascal.

Back in … 1989? a club colleague introduced me to the local uni’s computer lab, filled with Mac II. Base config, 13" color screen with 640x480 in 256 colors, with Hypercard and Think Pascal on it. And some word processor.

Coming from the Atari ST, the Mac II wasn’t much faster than what I had, and the GUI was theoretically similar.

But ThinkPascal felt sooo much more advanced due to the tight integration of its source level debugger into the IDE. On the ST, debuggers weren’t integrated yet into the UI, and were cumbersome to use.

So Think Pascals step-by-step debugger and variable inspection in windows were mind-blowing for me ("how to they do this in supervisor mode, and yet have full access to high-level OS/grafport/window calls?" -- little did I know how hacky System 6/7 were).

These memories.
