okay i got yt-dlp working i used pipx RIO KOSTA - "It's Starting"

little lessons from BASIC: --- single file programs are OK if you have a small number of colours, don't worry, that's OK indentation can help--like with FOR/NEXT loops if it takes a long time to code, that's OK don't be afraid of garbage output--you're not hurting the computer! take […]

work goes well with BAGQUEST--a little one dimensional dungeon crawler, I am writing in BASIC. it targets two BASICs right now: Commodore V2 for the Commodore 64, and @mdhughes 's Tiny BASIC Web. this little crusade i have been going through has been a big return to my childhood self. i used […]

oo yess, you gotta join back! :D i have been rocking the same guix install since 2022 😎 but there is a package for it here! packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/yt-...

i am being forced to do this because i cannot rip music from youtube anymore if anyone knows how to do that nowadays please let me know https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=XWHWDIF4Rjk

Now that's a hex numpad I can get behind. 💪💪💪

Taking the hifi amplifier back to cash converters to see if I can either a) have it fixed or b) get another one... Wish me luck!!!

i wrote a new article about games on the VIC 20! https://rodents.rodeo/article/vic20gaming by the way, i wrote this all in one sitting, all on a phone

I'd still love to make my own MP3 / audio player. Either in the classic altoids tin, or in some fucked up lumpy jiffy box. Tech has moved on now, it would be so easy to do with a small Single Board Computer.

I thought about making a BASIC programming cookbook some time ago. It seems like a good idea for a post on https://permacomputer.solarpunk.au . I will make an effort to brainstorm what kinds of techniques people would be interested in reading, and how long the post should be. I should also […]

Alien Arena is still being developed, classic FPS utilizing Quake II-based CRX game engine #retrodev #retrogaming #retrocomputing #opensource

Was gonna work more on BAGQUEST, but I am exhausted after work today. I think this is going to be a sizeable game. At least in terms of the number of lines. I think it may even come to about 200, which is quite a bit to be expected to type in. Still, I expect it to be fun to play, and […]

HEY. GAY NERDS (affectionate). I've got at least 8 days left until my workshop has internet and also I need money for groceries and stuff ;-; Would YOU like a Pride Finder for your Mac? I'm still doing them for a whopping *five dollars* via Ko-Fi […] [Original post on social.treehouse.systems]

This is me and my comrade Josh at the Indian Ocean Defence and Security conference. Obviously not inside the conference, we're outside it, protesting it, silly! I'm the one holding the sign, and Josh has the microphone in his hand.

Frost punk is such a sad game, why do I do this to myself Between this and Pikmin, I have had an awful run of games lately. Pikmin -> all my fucken Pikmin died Frost punk -> everyone is fucken sick and dying This is why I make cute little toy games that try and put a smile on people's faces […]

Good morning everyone 🌞 Off to work with me... I'm working lates. I've never told anyone here this, but I work for the federal welfare agency here in Australia -- Centrelink. I am a frontline call centre work, and I am a member of my union.

Good evening everyone 🌜 Been thinking about little games in BASIC, as usual. I have not had much motivation to code as of late, but I know the impulse will come and it will be a fun time. It is difficult to convey exactly what I am getting at with BAGQUEST.BAS. Bags are like those from Mary […]

Happy 73rd birthday to Colm J. Meaney (Colm Ó Maonaigh), actor of many rolls, especially the colossus among men, Miles Edward O’Brien. #stds9 #StarTrek #ds9

I feel like I keep overthinking the Tiny BASIC I am writing. I split up the project into different files, all to be included in a main project file, only to realise there is very little point in doing this. With the hope I will keep everything in under 2K RAM on the Arduino, a single file will […]

Beep. Still thinking about BASIC. Also Lisp. Maybe a blog post talking about the different methods of implementing text editors in BASIC. BAGQUEST has been on my mind too--a little one dimensional sandbox game about recursively placing bags inside bags. The Tamagotchi project continues also […]

it is 10.50pm here, and i am staring at my workstation monitor, trying to summon the brain cells to do something

I am proud to present the GlobalTalk Chat 1.2, taking it from a rushed #MARCHintosh hack-job to something I'd be proud to release as shareware 30 years ago! The headline update is it now allows anyone to host their own room! And it works on any AppleTalk […] [Original post on bitbang.social]

Good morning everyone 🌞 Part of me thinks I should write a little memory monitor first, before continuing with the 2K Tiny BASIC. A few of these Tiny BASICs assume some sort of monitor, especially the one that targets a potential KIM-1. The benefit would be that the Tiny BASIC could be […]

Been doing lots of activism IRL lately. I feel sorry for not being on here more often. I like marching and carrying a banner. I also like taking photos for my party newspaper. The activist rallies are quite a festival of different groups with their stalls. Very much full of community spirit.

Good morning everyone 🌞 Still thinking about tiny little computers with 4K RAM. I think maybe I always will...

Trying to think about what is worth doing. There is always a mountain of BASIC to wade through. Within that topic alone there is the text editor project, a really amazing turtle graphics interpreter, and more. The Tiny BASIC in assembly. The essay on Western Marxism. The Tamagotchi project […]

Good morning everyone 🌞

Good morning everyone 🌞

i made a pretty big new addition to my BASIC interpreter in scratch: variables! they can be defined using the new "let" command. you can print variables as well as expressions! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1323973518/

been watching the old soviet movie "lenin in october" (1937) it is obviously of its time, lenin repeatedly shouting "bring me stalin and sverdlov!' i'm also not exactly sure if kamenev _did_ end up leaking the news of the central committee's decision for an armed uprising. but whatever […]

not sure what i am going to do today. 1. essay on georg lukacs and western marxism. 2. the dandelion BASIC development. 3. i read the australian federal and western australian state budgets, i want to do something with this information...

good morning everyone 🌞

Bok bok bok, bok bok bok bok bok’s bok bok bok bok bok bok bok.
