More Electron coding, and this time we get going with Modes and Colours, looking at the 6 screen modes available on the Elk.
Also look at some commands that help with coding too. Ooh… 😮

The Programmer’s Fulcrum 17 July, 2026
This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum. Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum. It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism. IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno […]https://newsletter.mobileatom.net/the-programmers-fulcrum-17-july-2026/

#Blacksky : “The focus on #smallcommunity is what's keeping people in, not artificial walls.
Now, they're extending all of that experience to folks who want to run communities on the #opensocialweb in the same way.
With #Acorn, the team is helping other communities drop #drawbridges out of #Bluesky into smaller, community-owned and maintained spaces just like Blacksky.” -

Just the occasional reminder that for over 15 years now I‘m a happy customer and user of Flying Meat‘s great Acorn image editor.
Gus Mueller and his family are a prime example why you should support indie software shops. -
from 2007: "Well, given that the Acorn ARM chip and Symbian operating system are both British inventions, why don't we even have a leading mobile phone company?"

Circling Exoplanet 48539 is the -now defunct- experimental FTL (Faster Than Light) technology centre. With a circumference of over 85 kilometres, this particle accelerator helped to prove the underlying principles of how my ship works.

But then again, it’s not complicated at all, I just push this button and it jumps.

I hope you’re well and thanks in advance! Please boost!
If you have a little bit of money left over at the end of the month. Please consider donating up to 10% of it to https://gracefoodbanksheffield.org.uk/donations/
I can vouch and explain it is very much well used on providing food for those who cannot afford to buy their own.
Please share and be generous

Might anyone be able to find the BBC Basic source of "A Meagre Demonstration" which is a Boing demo for the Archimedes - from back in the day? Asking for a friend.
As seen on the BBC’s computer news programme Micro Live. Broadcast on BBC One, 14 December 1987, presented by Fred Harris and Lesley Judd. Also repackaged in Micro File 2, episode The Generation Game.
