@cantinto yes lots of cool big holes.
And cactuses. Can't forget those.
The licence plate should be
Arizona
Cactuses and Big Holes.

@debugninja another option might be to get a "high end" (for the time) Turtle Beach or similar card with an integrated wave table that can do both sound effects and MIDI music decently. Roland did "virtual" (software) synth products as well, basically loading wave table data from disk that worked with certain good sound cards.
@debugninja you don't need any sound card in particular, but you do need a sound or game port card that has a MIDI port, as the Roland is a MIDI device.
That would get you fantastic background music for your games, but the sound effects would most likely still be from the PC beeper because the Roland products only do musical instruments.
For video game sound effects the Holy Grail would be an Adlib Gold but they are rare and probably still very expensive so a Soundblaster is your best bet.
@friends the one in the lower left looks pretty chill actually :blobcat:

Thanks to everyone who participated in the polls! It's been a lot of fun over the past two weeks and I'm sure we'll do this again! Probably sometime in the winter, when I'm bored & more instances support polls π
@Taweret make sure Wotan and Siegfried don't figure out your Amazon login...
(My apologies to Linus Torvalds of 1991 ;)
I've currently ported ActivityStreams and WebFinger, and things seem to work. This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

PS. Yes - it's free of any mastodon code. It is NOT protable, and it probably never
will support anything other than Linux, as that's all I have :-(.
Hello everybody out there using mastodon -
I'm doing a (free) ActivityPub system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like Mastodon) for the fediverse. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in Mastodon, as ActivityPub resembles it somewhat.
I have finished upgrading Mastodon on coales.co from 2.6.5 to 2.7.4 and everything seems OK.
Every time I catch up on upgrades I am increasingly reminded that Mastodons are really big and heavy.
@citrustwee uh I think @healyn has bad intentions of some kind for sure.
That bread is toast!
And thus concludes another fine episode of "Stallman's Picks" :blobtonguewink:
Yep purtynear that way. It does matter to some degree what templates are used and if you want to make anything fancy at all.
The solution to making it look "just right" is "try adding this CSS trick". It's like the old lady who swallowed a fly. The fact the end users who make the pages are more likely to be novices doesn't help.
@Taweret Wotan is stewing and might snap if this continues. Cold catwar status elevated to DEFCON 3.
@ink_slinger there is an antique shop in west Edmonton that might have something like that...
https://www.curiosityedmonton.ca
The owner has an interest in local items, including signs and posters, so maybe he has or knows where to find old "anti-rat propaganda" artifacts.
They have a cool YouTube channel that has seen a surge in popularity recently too.
@ajroach42 it always baffled me how Jack didn't seem to care about anything other than price vs spec sheet and let the product lines turn into a mess. For over a dozen+ years they had all these lines, all using 6502, all using some form of IEC for serial periperals, yet little to no compatibility:
* PET
* Vic-20
* B/P series
* C64
* TED machines
* C128 with a C64 mode that disabled all the extra capabilities
This doomed Commodore from the start.
So Bell Mobility sent an email informing me that in May they will be changing the rate they bill me for data used over and above my monthly mobile data plan...
Currently they charge $0.02 per megabyte when I go over.
The new rate will be "$10 per 100MB"...so $0.10 per MB, a 500% increase.
And it gets better! The reason they express it in "per 100MB" is because it is billed in 100MB blocks instead of each MB used now. So if I go over my plan by 100.1 that will cost me $20!
F**K YOU TOO BELL!

Hell of a time for my brother to celebrate his birthday though!
