f**k you @bsky.app and your sh*tty age verification system - it doesn't bloody work - apparently my face isn't good enough (even though I had to shove my face deep into my webcam's guts) and my card isn't to your liking!!

Looking on Amazon for privacy screens, and there's a bunch of "360 degree" privacy filters. Firstly I think the back of the screen is pretty much covered, secondly... how do YOU view the screen?

Great day at #RetroFest yesterday. Even found a copy of an RM Nimbus educational software that I developed with NCEC back in the 80s 😊

New to the Oric Atmos, any experts out there who can help a n00b? Options for connecting to a composite CRT? Also advice on SD loaders, etc?

Definitely going to be here on the Saturday. Can't wait!
It's only FOUR WEEKS to go until RetroFest. Our exhibitors are slaving away to get their machines ready - and what better way to test them than displaying our logo! Tickets are selling fast, so we recommend buy one in advance if you can - www.retrofest.uk/tickets.php

This evening I am mostly deploying three new Azure Virtual Desktop servers into our Production pool, and upgrading our ERP databases.

Dear work colleagues, although Outlook now (apparently) gives you the ability to "react" to emails with emoji, please don't. Just don't.

Just won an Oric Atmos on eBay. Never owned one in the day, I was, however, one of those annoying kids in the 80s doing BASIC programs in the stores that ZAP'd at annoying intervals.
Can't wait to have a play, was always drawn to how handsome this was as a device. Genuinely excited to have a play
