Announcement: Macstodon 0.3 is here! 🥳​

Macstodon is a Mastodon client for 68k Macintosh computers! With it, you can post plain-text toots, view your home and local timelines, and view your notifications!

System Requirements:
- A 68020/68030/68040 Macintosh
- System 7.1 through 8.1
- At least 1.5 MB of free memory
- 32-bit addressing enabled
- Internet Config installed
- an SSL-stripping proxy running on another machine

You can download the latest release from GitHub: github.com/smallsco/macstodon
(but please read the Read Me, I worked hard on it!)

And with that, I'm going to take a break from this project for a few days! But do let me know if you've successfully used it!

A screenshot of the Macstodon 0.3 timeline view. The upper 2/3rds of the window lists, from left to right: the home timeline, the local timeline, and notifications. Above each timeline is a Refresh button. The lower 1/3rd of the window contains a textbox that displays the contents of the selected item from the timeline.

3 years ago I volunteered to create a new edition of Ethan Winer’s 1990s BASIC programming book using LibreOffice (@libreoffice). Over the span of a year, with Ethan’s editorial input, I rebuilt the book layout from TXT sources in #LibreOffice , and recreated all diagrams from scratch using #FreeDOS, #InkScape and #GIMP. It turned out great!

There is a raffle to win a #c256foenix machine: vcf.emwhite.org/winpb/ . If you don't know about the Foenix computers, they are a new line of computers inspired by #retro computers, chock full of retro sound chips (real and FPGA), based on real 65816 and 68K CPUs, designed and produced by Stefany Allaire. Unlike some other #neoretro computer projects, this one isn't vaporware. I actually have an early model, so I can promise you they are real :). c256foenix.com/

Looking inside an 11 by 11 by 5 inch custom printed computer case with the top removed. A circuit board at the bottom featuring a large CPU and many other chips, a ribbon cable connected to a daughterboard on the side of the case. The name of the computer model "GEN X" is silkscreened on the board.
Another view of the black, square computer case with the top off, but from the side so you can see the built-in speakers.
Another view of the black square computer case. This time the top is attached. It has a purple logo that looks roughly like an outline of a cube. It has the text "GEN X" and "LB" in purple on the top, with attractive parallel lines. The front of the box with the speakers, SD card slot and volume knob is visible.

An #introduction: I'm a #javascript dev from Brisbane, Australia. I run bne.social for Brissie folks & friends, join us!

📹 I loove #travel #vlog / #filmmaking / editing. Check out my Youtube at ash.ms/yt. Send me yours!

🚵 Also interested in #sustainability, #cycling, #retrocomputing & my CD collection (what's your fav album?)

Otherwise I love this part of the world & you'll probably find a lot of photos of moments I find beautiful around here. PS: 💯 gay 🌈 🦄

In 2018 I sold all my possessions and moved to Amsterdam to travel. That went well, huh? Now I'm back home in Brisbane, Australia with a newfound appreciation for how we do things down under.
