Wonder if anyone has made an ST-01 soundfont yet. Would be fun to hear canyon.mid as if played by Ultimate Soundtracker

@thisismissem thanks for the update. I think forwarding is generally valuable but yeah the basic assumption of "every other admin is also reasonable" has proven false... Mine was a quick change, if something else is in the works (eg admin review of reports before auto-forward) them that would obviously be better

@thisismissem tangential, I opened a PR a while ago about report-forwarding, and it's had nobody look at it in the months since. What do I need to do to get someone to take a look?

@oreolek user @mcc had a cool thread about her time at Sun years ago where they had Sun Rays, and how it was to use them (and why they failed )- I'll see if I can find it

@mhoye I had a very positive experience on the Debian Perl maintainers mailing list, where I asked about how I might go about getting a CPAN package into the package repository, and someone replied "well, I'm a bit rusty, but let me take a crack at it" and running with it

@halcy doing it for "exposure" eh?

@MichaelKlamerus did you know there's a physical version? https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/mysterium-ahyoheek-deluxe-set1

time to shave another yak (writing a babby pop3 + smtp server)

@lmorchard let them in!!

aight my one real #Bluesky take is that any celebration of its culture is premature: it is largely defined by early yet powerless movers in a vacuum right now. That could change at any time. Already the site has a growing population of "own teh libs" type right-wing puppets doing the same things people hated about Twitter.

The site's reliance on third-party labeling service to "hide content that you don't want to see!" out of a pool of Free Speech Soup reads to me like punting on responsibility, yet the fact that it's not meaningfully decentralized means the current operators have an outsized influence on what ATProto *is*. As much as early users crow about "doing things differently here", ultimately it's out of their hands entirely... mods must set and enforce policy for any of it to matter.

In short: until they ban a Tim Pool or an Andy Ngo, I withhold my judgment on whether the site is actually "better than Twitter" or merely "in the interval before it too becomes Twitter"

Users can't do shit to shape a site: mods and owners set and enforce policy, and that is what sets the tone for all its users.

@colon_three you win this round...

@colon_three you will get the users and you will be happy

say what you will about Bluesky, but it has users

@thezerobit Ah I didn't realize it was so late in the lifecycle! Maybe people didn't bother making better sound hardware until the CPU was fast enough to actually drive it

@thezerobit Are you opposed to a Covox Speech Thing / Disney Sound Source-style parallel port DAC? Sending a byte to the parallel port may be less resources than handholding the PC speaker...

EDIT: trixter in 2014 mentioned that 8088 Domination would use about 95% of available CPU time doing PC speaker work, vs about 80% for the Covox

@enkiv2 I could have sworn poltergeist had this
