To me it was somewhere in the late 90's, but I'm sure people will still be debating this when I die.
This leads to the question of where I can find rule 34 of this.
Each new technology immediately raises two questions: how do we destroy it and how do we use it for destruction.
The year of Linux Desktop is here!
Maybe its because Cameron is not one of my favorite directors. I love T2, of course but I can't say the same about Titanic because (you guessed it) I still have not watched it and also didn't buy into the hype when it was released. I remember that movie theaters were booked solid for weeks and you couldn't get a ticket. No movie is that good or justifies that kind of hype, so I have skipped it so far.
It is sad to see the mental gymnastics people do to justify their inertia.
"It's opt-in!"
"You can disable feature X easily by editing the registry"
"You can install this tool from a shifty site to restore that feature MS disabled"
Am I the only one here that has never seen it or understands what the hype is about?
I can live with that.
Somehow I'm pretty sure Google already had that information. You've never used Google Wallet to pay on the go? No? How about your Android keyboard to fill in some banking form?
"Dirty deeds, dunder chiefs!"
I always wondered what a dunder chief is.
Nice choice.
I sometimes listen to KEXP, I discovered it along with a lot of other interesting radios using the Garden Radio app.
My favorite is a NZ radio called Brian FM.
If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.
After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.
Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.
Good times.
Good looking mechanical keyboard project for the ZX81 (or the modern equivalent, the ZX81+38), including all the designs and schematics.
It always amazes me when people manage to bend Speccy display's limitations and come up with wonderful digital art. I came across Adam's @helpcomputer0@mastodon.art work on Mastodon and it became one of my favourites. Do yourself a favour and have a look.
While Real Life^TM^ strives to keep me away from all things Speccy related, I was pleasantly surprised to see the legacy of the old World of Spectrum site preserved in WoS Classic.
So why not have a go at the awesome Advanced Lawnmower Simulator to celebrate? Go go, you know you want to...

The logo needs work. I read that as Syncoin and had a repulse reaction.
