Your boundary is at hue 174, just like the population median. You're a true neutral.

⁂ is a typographical character, not an icon that needs to be inserted as an image. Unique-looking, but standardised.

Being on The Semantic Web is easy, and, frankly, well worth the bother

I've a lot of nostalgia for these books. It's great reading about others' collections and experience too!

The Effect of CRTs on Pixel Art

On Cathode Ray Tubes, nostalgia and anachronisms.

[...] there's a lot more going on with both pixel art and old gaming hardware than mere CRT fuzziness

This repository contains the instructions for building a Faux TRS-80. The model is meant to evoke the feel of a TRS-80 Model 3 or Model 4 computer, but is not an exact replica of either. It has mounting spots for a Raspberry Pi, display, and associated hardware that allow you to run a TRS-80 emulator and get the true Tandy experience.

You might be good at TypeScript, but if you don’t know what this project does, what it needs to do next, how to build & run & test, and so much more–you can’t move it forward.

The Apple ][ is one of the most iconic vintage computers of all time. But since Wozniak’s monster lasted all the way until 1993 (1995 if you could the IIe card, which I won’t count until I get one), it can be easy to forget that in 1977, it was a video extravaganza. The competitors– even much bigger and established companies like Commodore and Tandy– generally only had text modes, let alone pixel-addressable graphics, and they certainly didn’t have sixteen colors. (Gray and grey are different colors, right?)

This looks like a neat little self-hosted RSS reader/news feed. I might give it a go, though these days I tend to start my mornings with https://brutalist.report/

Following up to my earlier post (https://social.omgmog.net/2023/fiddling-around-with-a-convoluted-method-of ) I've got a less convoluted method of handling switching audio output devices from a macro keypad now.

I'm now using Hammerspoon https://www.hammerspoon.org/ -- a powerful tool that lets you define all sorts of automation using Lua. This is my script for switching audio output devices: https://gist.github.com/omgmog/8c2139c9270431b7cddd93a947c9018c

I'm also now using a cheap 3-key macro pad from Aliexpress (rather than the Pimoroni RGB Keypad as I couldn't think of a good use for the rest of the keys!) that I've got bound to F12/F13/F14 keys.

This is a book about building applications using hypermedia systems. Hypermedia systems might seem like a strange phrase: how is hypermedia a system? Isn’t hypermedia just a way to link documents together?
