A new day, and more streaming of Microfiche and Chill, @archive.org's experiment in live-broadcasting the process of digitizing Microfiche scanning in our lab. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPg2...

So what do you say about this idea? I'm not interested in building a modern system inside a case that looks like this, but IDK maybe my ultimate ATX "Time Machine" www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNa6...

Friends. 💕 Photo from my collection, 1963.

"You are my lucky star..." One year ago today I posted this miniature Alien photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets.

Pac-Man is turning 45 today? He sure doesn´t look his age. I think by this point, probably everybody owns some sort of port or adaptation of Toru Iwatani's classic and everybody made their pills/munchies-jokes. And you know what? The game is still a ton of fun today! #pacman

I'm in love, I'm getting one, reverse sleeper for real. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

My #BobaFett pencil ✏️ drawing. 😊 This is 8”x12” and drawn in 5B pencil only. Immortalised in graphite - rather than slowly digested over a thousand years. #StarWars #ArtistOnBluesky (Thread 1/3…)

There’s an awful lot of people who love to think about the grey-goo problem of nanotechnology because it’s flashy and sci-fi who don’t want to think about how LLMs are capable of doing that to the Internet.

Honestly, I think this tech should be outlawed. This is awful.

Happy birthday Star Wars Episode 1: the Phantom Menace (1999)! 🎂 To celebrate, I went to Tatooine National Park, but all I got was this (awesome) lousy t-shirt! And I hate sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. 🙄

F1 2017, perhaps the best F1 game by Codemasters/EA, as you could drive classic F1 cars. #F1 #F1game #F1_2017

The trees are watching me. #birds

👋EU people: There's a citizen petition calling on the EU to ban "conversion therapy" to "cure" LGBTQ+ folks, a process people who've experienced it describe as "torture". It needs about 5x its current votes to be considered but is especially in need of voters from: Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium

I simply cannot comprehend how this is happening in the country that calls itself the land of the free. The details are even worse than the headline suggests. It’s so upsetting www.newsweek.com/abortion-bra...

Oh, and, another - also need "Show ALL posts from this particular user". That too, very much needed. #Bluesky #Bsky #Posts

Vista la 1era temporada de #ElEternauta Ya que soltás mentalmente el comic la valorás mejor. Me encanta que incluso si leíste la historieta la disfrutás como algo nuevo porque es como un juego de ajedrez; las piezas y reglas son las mismas pero es una partida distinta. RECOMENDADA.

#USA #PopeLeoXIV #Conclave2025 #USPope Fo you to see and share!

This is one more reason to reject the unethical use of AI. Some people are stealing cartoons from professionals, using AI to "redraw" them, signing them, and then uploading them to Social Media outlets. If AI can block words, why can't it block the (ab)use of other people's art?

I'm glad that more people are beginning to see that the "gender-critical" theory of sex is downright (at least) creationist-adjacent

imagine thinking that biological phenomena have essences 150 years after darwin. sad!

Are you a fan of point & click adventures? ROSEWATER has been called “a modern classic,” a “masterpiece,” and has an 83 on Metacritic as well as 96% positive reviews on Steam. Why not check it out for yourself? grundislav.games/Rosewater.html

Have you ever dreamed of piloting a Starfury or a Thunderbolt? Well, that was almost possible thanks to the only Babylon 5 game... a space combat simulator... canceled in 1999. Babylon 5: Into the Fire (Yosemite Entertainment/Sierra)

Biggest. Crowd. Ever.

"Wormswort! Mmm... ...And frog's breath?" ~ What's wrong? I thought you liked frog's breath". ~ "Nothing's more suspicious than frog's breath! Until you taste it, I won't swallow a spoonful!" ~ "Oh, don't be silly!...Mmmm! See? Scrumptious". All shot using real figures, lighting & miniatures

This is a really interesting piece, and these points are ones I notice a lot in the discourse around GLP-1 drugs: much of the antipathy to them is in & of itself fatphobia, anger or anxiety that takers are “cheating” their way out of the fat = lazy, slim = hard work paradigm.

Lots of interesting discussion on here yesterday. This piece is really worth a read. I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea that obesity might be uncoupled from a moral or personal failing.

Por fin es lunes, el indiscutible mejor día de la semana. ¡Se acabó la vileza del fin de semana, se terminó la tiranía de la holgazanería obligatoria! ¡Es, por fin, la hora de entregar nuestro cuerpo y nuestra alma a nuestros dueños!

Turns out I was featured on @hackadayofficial.bsky.social ! 🤩🙌💥 (and somehow missed it! 😄) hackaday.com/2025/04/30/v...

I’m fascinated by scientific breakthroughs that were universally hailed in the moment, like pasteurization, that are now vilified by some people. Is this a uniquely American thing? Anybody written a book about why/how this happens? Like the psychology behind it. I’d love to learn more.

Hi Bluesky 👋 I'm LukHash and I make #chiptune, but also music that fuses retro sounds with modern stuff. If you’re into nostalgic vibes with a futuristic twist, hit follow - I’ve got plenty more to come! 👾✨️ (You can also find me on most music platforms:) music.lukhash.com

Absolutely blown away by all your support! 💜 'Home Arcade' debuts in the Top 20 on the UK Official Album Downloads Chart 🎉 🔗 www.officialcharts.com/albums/lukha... #chiptune #synthwave #c64

Did you know? The ESS Solo-1 not only has excellent DOS compatibility despite being a PCI card, the famous ESFM, and either a wavetable daughterboard connector or SB-Link (you can just solder on the missing one). There is also a driver version with a 1 MB sofware wavetable built in!

Anyone use Intel's 386 processor from 1985, the first 32-bit x86? To improve performance, it preloaded instructions into a 16-byte prefetch queue (highlighted in red). Why does such a small queue take up so much of the chip? Let's look under the microscope at its complicated circuitry... 1/N

On #SaturnDay here’s “Nissan Presents: Over Drivin' GT-R”. This is a 1996 racing game developed by Pioneer Productions & published by Electronic Arts Victor. It’s a localized version of “Need for Speed” for the Japanese market, with all the cars changed to Nissan models. #Retrogaming #Sega #Saturn

"The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present. Tonight..." All shot using real figures and miniature sets.

"Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA."

SimCity 2000 is my favorite video game, so I put together what I consider the ultimate retro setup for playing it…and kinda got distracted. New video! youtu.be/HlUHWt1OQv4

I usually get the same 2 or 3 Data gif/geoffs as replies but this guy brought some serious heat. Respect.

Mmm, porridge with Iridium! Yum!

It’s one of the strangest controllers ever made. The Nintendo Power Glove, did it give Neil the power? @visitthecave.bsky.social

Here's a few Screens of my Outrun for Game Boy Color demo. Almost complete now. 🌴 #pixelart #indiedev #gameboy #retrogaming
