@aidencoder it's a question of how openly it can be expressed, and under Trump...

@lhz I don't know if I ever saw or played this one! But classic Williams SFX

@GeePawHill what the.. Mario Bros would like a word!

@taglius I'd say Tempest was quite popular and not obscure at all! Also a grrrreat game!

and I absolutely *adore* that someone on Etsy made a set of plexiglass sprites for Crazy Climber 😍 https://t.co/74ZC55Qt4m

@johnolilly me too 💙🙏

@stevesi yes, I noticed this as well. I'm sure.. dozens.. of people at Google use a Surface! 🙄

@KevinCodesInSC yes! They made a bunch of these and they are great! I have the Defender one ;)

@pomeranian99 The whole "I have a zillion tabs open" thing is endemic to a very specific kind of personality. It's not a problem for the general public.

@sweatystartup @amyjokim it's worse than that: life is about marketing https://t.co/qzM5b2ZYdg

@cwill747 oo nice pics of what you built?

@SecularSurfer a bit.. dark

For 2021 I am thinking of building up some kind of Pi Zero W ornament .. probably with e-ink hat .. https://t.co/VSaMUBhFz6

@jeffwigal @bennylope https://t.co/pieyXt4DUS

@TylerAYoung they have rainbow versions of that on etsy as well!

@ai @adiwise @KamalaHarris look what I got @betsyphd for her xmas present!! https://t.co/yL9KvbkOf9 https://t.co/7c7MwC4Yas

y'all who took your trees down ALREADY, wtf?? 🤪

@jzy I recently added this one to our collection https://t.co/s9uqy27TZV

@kanongil yes! Hallmark has a range of these!! I got the Defender one!!

@iCatija I went with dumpster fire powered by IKEA tea light https://t.co/pieyXt4DUS .. we also have a 3d-printed roll of toilet paper marked 2020.. I thought about a hand sanitizer one but I figure ehh that's enough 2020 ;)

@henkster put the tree up already eh?

@stas_kulesh don't need to tell me, I never opened an account! https://t.co/Z0qxGWaeAu

@DanielHoffmann_ @stevenf yes mini and micro are super bad mojo. USB-C seems OK so far though 👍

@textfiles The Coleco Adam would emit an EMP pulse at startup so powerful that it could erase its own tapes. I had a Coleco Adam. I stored my own BASIC programs on those tapes.. that I spent soo many hours on. I did desperate tape surgery a bunch of times. https://t.co/zWVaLWMa0t

@textfiles @ClipperChip @discord @discourse I dunno on this one, I literally have no idea. They executed well so far

@textfiles @ClipperChip @discord @discourse I mean, newsgroups are technically still around. Discord does a good job, but they ain't open source

@migueldeicaza's First Law aka "Well, Actually" https://t.co/W9CX6zwAbC

@ClipperChip @textfiles @discord @discourse it will be interesting to see what happens to Discord longer term.. very much an open question. That's why we're 100% open source.

@textfiles @discord @discourse just yesterday I got an organic search hit to https://t.co/o7VsVyq7i7 and I was like https://t.co/cvMVcifpJb

@zobayertt @ruby_object @schizeckinosy @deadprogrammer See also https://t.co/W9CX6zwAbC

@textfiles @discord @discourse That said, long term memory and short term memory are compatible (perhaps even complementary) services.

@textfiles @discord @discourse The real battle is between Discord and IRC, and IRC has lost so decisively that it basically won't be remembered

@textfiles @discord @discourse it's also true that you kinda *don't* want long term memory for chat. Remembering every single thing is a form of insanity. Forgetting is a feature.

@textfiles @discord @discourse because it's free! (but also, chat is a different product. The real battle for you is IRC vs Discord which I assume is lost forever?)

@iCatija yep it is this one! https://t.co/jh4aKO51KO

Lil’ mini Mac https://t.co/WrQwxR5TxK

@textfiles @discord @discourse has this function built in, and has since 2013. It's even available per-user. Just sayin'.

@chetfaliszek inflation means I'll inevitably win the microtransaction one!

@pasoevi @gu3st @ID_AA_Carmack video! https://t.co/1lA3CYRhSj

@ID_AA_Carmack also I owned this camera and it was *very* good for its time in every regard!

@ID_AA_Carmack well, mine is https://t.co/fQVCtFW5iQ

@ruby_object @schizeckinosy @deadprogrammer at the point where you are asking people to apply science to the joke, the joke has been thoroughly ruined.. that's the opposite of what jokes are for

@jeffehobbs @betsyphd All I have is two wifi-enabled bulbs via @jzy .. one of them I can no longer access via the app, and the other one can only be controlled via the app if when it is physically switched on, so my track record here is .. poor

@jeffehobbs @betsyphd does this lead down the home automation trail of tears?

@deadprogrammer @betsyphd you and me both, brother 🤜💥🤛

@timbray my son uses it to keep up with friends cross-game, that was the main driver. They do screen sharing a LOT, often to "prove" that they have or did something.. to resolve disputes. It's fascinating.

Pretty much this, but I had the earliest version with the circular color wheel. How else are you gonna get those sick 320x200 images with 4096 colors.. AT ONCE! https://t.co/LUbpbbZz8u

@Frang I seem to remember the fancy metal tapes doing a bit better at capturing silence, but I have no idea if this experiment design made sense.. it was fun to play with though!

In addition to the audio digitizer, I also had the digi-view color digitizer! You'd take multiple images and rotate the color wheel between each image then combine to get full color: https://t.co/XJFhynhaui

our science teacher was a bit of a character. That year he insisted on physically coming to you to see your experiment setup. So one day he indeed visited our apartment and I showed him my Amiga setup, the boombox, the tapes..

@unixchris @StackExchange @spolsky congratulations!! 🤗 teaching others is the best way to learn.

don't forget to donate to your local food banks before 2020 is over -- it's desperately needed, and you get the tax break!

@Pinboard I bet they’d get in with PHP

@Pinboard I'm gonna need both of those GA senate seats to go D, kthxbye

@SwiftOnSecurity @ericlaw the odd thing is, if the guts were replaceable for new releases Apple probably could sell solid gold fancy-watches all day long..

@ericlaw really? A gold series 1 apple watch sells for $35,000 now?

just sayin' https://t.co/6uW9BVl3ap

The only thing dumber than this was the $1000 "I am rich" app in the then-new 2011 iOS app store https://t.co/cIITxR8HUD

@ZachWeiner Twinkies

@textfiles Fing Friendlys Squad my man!! Yes!

@MilanGriffes what would it be like if everything was a constant, unexpected surprise?

@_gb I have one

@mathowie Have seen the same with tik Tok

this is an awfully spicy Little Free Library book choice.. https://t.co/KwdJjMjl3g

@affanzbasalamah See that in action here 😉 https://t.co/MbPQ2chU0E

@affanzbasalamah Same sort of thing for the DOOM midi tracks. The chapter at 35:11 (Roland SC-55mkII) is what it's "supposed" to sound like: https://t.co/7XyVldx64Y

@ach0w @Senftl most new mobos have decent audio output, and if not, there's always the external USB method.. for example this is my current mobo https://t.co/OrjQQWKE45 and it says "Alc1220-vb enhance 114db(rear)/ 110db(front) SNR in microphone with WIMA Audio Capacitors" https://t.co/YGYWo00d35

@mathowie Have you tried skater XL on steam?

@drewtetz Im writing postcards every day to GA voters.. join me!

@ArcadeInferno @rabachleitner you can rewind, loop, etc and it has a fantastic tactile spinner, plus it does really neat ambient dynamic mixing of FM: https://t.co/3JiL0Iyus5

@rupertraphael oh yes definitely!! https://t.co/mJTeP9b8AF

@rabachleitner https://t.co/hvXpNhIRX6

The other hilarious thing she pointed out is that this gingerbread baby is possibly going to be Neapolitan flavor, which I didn’t get at first but now I totally do https://t.co/VvYkfDxlTl

@AliAkhtar_ @IAmMarkManson How is this a rip off? It literally references the earlier post???

@Ted_Spence No

@deadprogrammer Nope those two pretty much cover it. Even Disco is better

@Beschizza Yeah but it is a bit repetitive. See https://t.co/2SnJ8ZS8Wi

Great collection of early tech demos. Remember this stuff used to knock our socks off back in the day! 💥🧦 https://t.co/TQzBddEXhW

@aigonewrong "fun"

it is surprising that Sound Blaster is still around. Here's their current flagship, for ~$300 https://t.co/sXOrDi8QhO

sign o' the times is that I see no urgent need to upgrade from this video card, two years later. Maybe in another year..

@DaveMurphySF 110% worth it.. should have done it sooner! https://t.co/FqI3Dvbfai

@christopherdrum it fits the timeline!

@HuttHuttnDaButt I had the original A1000, then sidegraded to the 500, and yes I got the memory expansion. Never had a hard drive though, only 3.5" floppies..

@mpp4 aha, indeed IntelliType https://t.co/mUCVdemiYG https://t.co/BumrJQHFH0

yeah so whatever happened to that game, @mosesma ?

weird question. Whatever happened to "Moses Ma" and this hypothetical typing game? I can't find any record of EA releasing a typing game https://t.co/ROJYjNbLf4 https://t.co/0Ox4p14Asj
