    @somafm it worked on me, just sent some money. BTW, if you ever want to stock any more printed water bottles, I'd be all over that!

    Is there a Firefox plugin that redirects Mastodon links from other instances to your own instance automatically, so that you can boost and reply without entering your domain?

    Isn't the main tool for 2600 programming DASM? It's a GPL-licensed assembler. https://dasm-assembler.github.io/

    @kolev @vwbusguy Also the PlusCart and UnoCart 2600 are both open-source hardware.

    @kolev @vwbusguy What libraries are you talking about? There's no room for libraries in 4K.

    @kolev @vwbusguy see https://github.com/dasm-assembler/dasm/blob/master/machines/atari2600/vcs.h

    unwiredben,
    @unwiredben@nycr.social avatar

    @kolev @vwbusguy it's hard to tell. It's part of the DASM distribution, but vcs.h doesn't actually have any copyrightable content since it's just labels on memory addresses copied out of the 2600 programming docs. macro.asm is more defensible, as that has real code snippets.

    Besides the usual suspects of Combat, Joust, Pong, Warlords, and BallBlazer, what are some interactive 2-player games for #Atari 2600 and/or 400/800/XL/XE?

    Here's a direct link to the #hackaday #supercon badge hacking demo I did, but it's worth watching the whole video to see all the amazing projects people came up with.

    My intuition that this code needed more unit tests proved frightfully accurate.

    Slides are polished and sent, now time to practice my timing. Can't wait for more people to meet Nova at Supercon!

    @instantarcade @gella I hit 24 minutes too when I did my first run through, but fortunately I had a few slides I could cut. Still need to polish a bit more this week, maybe I'll test it out with some coworkers.

    It's the start of #EarlyVoting in #Texas, and as usual for off-years, we've got a bevy of constitutional amendments to vote on. I like the endorsements at the Austin Chronicle (https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2023-10-20/chronicle-endorsements-for-the-november-7-election/) and Progress Texas (https://progresstexas.org/2023-texas-statewide-ballot-guide)

    Now that Microsoft owns Activision, what's your shitpost choice for a game from their library that you'd like to see them open source?
    My first guess is H.E.R.O. but I'm sure there's something else in that huge library

    Fedi friends, I ask for your help: I need more nerdy, ugly holiday sweaters and hoodies in my life.

    I always wait until it's too late. Well, not this year!

    Pretty please, spam me with links to your favorite ugly nerdy holiday tops. Thanks!

    @rick I've gotten several of these as shirts from Woot! over the years, and they do print-on-demand on hoodies, check out https://shirt.woot.com/catalog?q=christmas+sweater

    $9.99 for 82 episodes? Holy cow, price error or deal of the year? Venture Bros., The Complete Series on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/the-venture-bros-the-complete-series/id1676105907

    @cabel @ja2ke alas, that doesn't include "All That and Gargantua-2", so that's another $4.99 (and well worth it)

    @davew just goes to a content-free page with a Threads logo for me, from looking at dev console, Firefox blocked a lot of CORS requests.

    If the new #macOS is called #sonoma, does that mean it can run all your Windows software using #wine?
