#retrocomputing I've put up a website at https://8087.martypc.net where you can inspect and zoom into the 8087 microcode ROM.

Circles indicate a large transistor, large squares a medium transistor, and smaller rectangles a small transistor.

To the upper left of each classification shape is the transistor's logical index.

If you spot a bug, you can report the index for a quick fix!

Why does it matter than ~7 million people stood up today?

There are millions of Americans who voted Republican in 2024 because they didn’t bother to inform themselves. Now, they can’t get tacos because the shop is closed. Their autistic kid’s support at school got defunded. Their friend can’t find work. Their health insurance went up. Food budget sucks. Tax refund didn’t arrive. They are grumpy now, and 7 million people said “that’s OK, you too can say fuck this guy!”.

I'm going to play with some Emacs keybinds while trying to see if I can figure out how to make Peertube's code do a thingy @ozoned wanted over at https://cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. I am going to be flailing around a lot because I am not super comfy with these Emacs keys yet and have never had a look at the Peertube codebase either. But maybe it's educational in some weird way. See you in the chat!

I'd like recommendations for a Europe-based dynamic DNS provider, please!

I've been with freedns.afraid.org for about eight years, and they've been rock-solid and good value at $60 per year, but it's time to cut my remaining ties with US-based services.

Please boost for reach!

Hey! Today I'm launching Tiled Words, my own unique spin on the daily word puzzle genre.

You can play Tiled Words for free on any device here: https://tiledwords.com

Tiled Words merges tile-placing board game mechanics with crosswords. You rotate and rearrange tiles to find clues and rebuild a broken crossword. Every day there will be a new, hand-crafted, themed puzzle for you to solve.

Today I'll be showcasing the game at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo with the Portland Indie Game Squad, so if you're in the neighborhood, come say hi!

This game has been a labor of love. Please share it with your friends and check back tomorrow for a new puzzle

#GameDev #WebDev #Design #WordPuzzles #Wordle #indiedev #indiegame

A poster showing the Tiled Words game on a phone. It says "Scan & Play, Launching Today" and has a QR code and the url tiledwords.com

@topofmyvoice

I think a better question is, "How do we regain their trust?"

People severely underestimate how much distrust the Biden admin sowed by participating in the Gaza genocide, lying about it, and cracking down on pro-🇵🇸 student protestors. Not to mention the treatment they received by regular Dem voters online and IRL.

That's why Kamala lost, and that's why GenZ roll their eyes at #NoKings.

The Dem party at large needs to do a lot of soul-searching and fence-mending first.
