“It weighs 6lbs, is as practical to carry around as a sandwich-press, has a ‘comfortable’ 2.5hr battery (which might die permanently if I let it drain too far), and modern OSes are both sluggish and wholly unsuited for this ultra-wide aspect screen but I guess it’s really cool looking!” — Every #cyberdeck build video
@Kroc
Makes me want to get my own tiny Smalltalk system designed for such setups.But yes, they're usually cool looking

@Kroc you certainly can! I had understood that it was from today. I was just confirming your good choice.

ZX vs C64?@pfernandes C64, naturally. But really, I code for both 6502 & Z80 equally

@Kroc I was a ZX, but that was because I could not afford a C64, both are dream machines from my childhood

I've been #writing every day for 15 weeks, ~3 months! I thought it was only a month!? Sometimes I might only write a sentence or two in a day, sometimes it's five hours.I've passed 30'000 words now, ~120 pages in standard UK paperback size.
Over-arching plotting is by far the hardest part; actually putting out words -- describing things, capturing moments -- I don't find any difficulty with, but I've been going through a long chunk of what I call Disney-ride exposition: An on-rails section of stopping points to explain things. This bit has been slow going, but I may just have to write it and come back another time to change it. Those who like world-building won't be short for details!
Would anybody be interested in an #ebook / PDF of what I've written so far?
You can read large chunk of it here: https://oldbytes.space/@Kroc/115895172569381595 but Mastodon scrolling is probably not a good reading experience.

@Kroc A commonly used one here in France is Tipeee, also available in English. Not sure how good it actually is.
