- Gekkio is doing God’s work, reverse engineering Game Boy’s SM83 CPU core.
- Allison added a hinge to a Game Boy that God never intended.
- Don’t know if God had anything to do with it, but Pierre fixed accents to letters in the french translation of Link’s Awakening.
I love how the Caproni Stipa – aka the flying barrel – looked like an airplane from a comic book or cartoon but, you know, actually could take off and fly. 🤯
If you ever get an email with the subject line re: fish can, you should know it’s an okay anagram for the word franchise but also a lousy excuse for yours truly to be able to check off today’s challenge.
I miss you, my aluminum-bodied friend. When was the last time we had a project together? 🤔 We should team up again for this year’s Christmas card batch. 🦾

If you’re leaving Twitter and want to take your tweets with you, notice that the archive lacks alternative texts. Your image descriptions won’t be there. But don’t worry! Thanks to @hbeck, there’s a solution. 🎉
!!Con might be one of the coziest computer conferences there is. This year Marlene shared how to impress your crush, Anjana’s talk was a musical – about Lambda Calculus, and I enjoyed Omar’s and Nicole’s talks and their websites. All the above and more are available over here.
Everyone! Leave the Micro.blog timeline for a while and go experience @heyloura’s beautifully designed website.
The earliest Micro.blog timeline entry (the identifier with the lowest number) I could find is https://micro.blog/riverfold/2. So what happened to the first one, @manton? 😊
So I hung out with my nieces today and was handed a manuscript they’re working on; for a theater show. I get to play the role of… Yule ham. 🐷
In one scene, the ham gets a whipped cream cake in its face?! The kid’s uncle will likely adjust the script before the premiere. 😅
With the fall of the Twitter consensus I am energized. I remember what it was like in the 2000s; I remember the liveliness and sparkle of those days on the web. […] The web is wide open again, for the first time in what feels like forever.

And then a few months later, the people actually running those instances are going to start flexing their muscle, and the users’ response will be, “Wait, who even are you? This sucks. I just wanted my memes”.
It’s gonna go great!
I’m with jwz on Mastodon and federation.
I have a slight suspicion that the bottle used for my gin and tonic might be possessed. 😈
I started counting devices with screens in my surroundings but stopped when reaching a dozen. Without competition, the electrophoretic displays featured on my Remarkable and Kobo are my absolute favorites.
For my part, when I reread the story, I’m delighted with it. I’d happily have published it on my website, or distributed it as a zine, with no mention of AI tools at all.

I’m in luck! Apparently, Ulf’s dog Winston celebrated his 4th birthday yesterday, and I get to check off today’s Microblogvember early. (Ulf is the prime minister of Sweden). 🐶
Per’s recommendations for online resilience are great. 👌 You can have a place to call home on the internet – domain, and website – for around $18 a year. How cool is that? Share with friends and family!
Now I know for certain that my next read will be Wanderers by Chuck Wendig. 📚
You’ve started a trend, @jean. There’s a microblogvember challenge going on over at cohost as well. 🥰 Different wordlist, though.
Struggling with today’s Microblogvember, I thought to myself, “hey, maybe I could find a cool anagram for the word consensus at least”. Sun scones sucked the least. Is that even a thing? 🌞🥯 🤦♂️
Hi Greta! Welcome to Mastodon & Mastodon.nu. Thanks for helping us stress-test the servers (which blew up) [my translation]
A Mastodon server admin gets a surprise when @gretathunberg joins their instance. 😅
Got some insight today as to what is going on with the lights in our kitchen. Long story short: the transformer is probably kaput. 😮💨
It’s Micro Monday! Thanks for reminding me, @jean. 😊 Anyone who wants to fill their timeline with cute drawings and thoughtful posts should follow @veronique.
Also, make sure to visit her blog! I like the links and etc. pages. 👌
We just released the latest episode of our podcast, where Sanna and I talk about why you should own your content and publish it on your domain. In Swedish – sorry, folks.
We record in a proper studio, so the audio should be free from any echo.
Afternoon coffee and bookkeeping. Turns out I’m not exempt from paying corporate taxes and VAT. 😮💨
