  1. 🪨 PipeDream on the Acorn Archimedes 🛠️

    A truly unique combination. We have the first ARM-based home computer, powering a bespoke OS, running software that says, "The barriers between productivity apps are a lie we tell ourselves."

    This introduced so many new technologies, I had to run a check on "Where are they now?" The ARM chip's legacy is a given, but the other stuff in the stack might surprise you.

  2. TechCrunch reports: As X shuts down Communities, Acorn (by Blacksky) debuts an alternative that puts creators in control. techcrunch.com/2026/05/04/as-x #acorn #blacksky #ATProto
    This looks like ATProto's version of Bonfire. And it's a hell of a lot easier to setup. Though it's not free.

  3. Had a good day with my eldest. We went to the National Museum Of Computers at legendary Bletchley Park. I've been before, but he hadn't.

    Despite his anxiety, he lasted a couple of hours which was better than I expected.

  8. La cosa più interessante degli Acorn Archimedes: montano le prime CPU ARM, le stesse su cui oggi si basano i comuni smartphones e dispositivi come Raspberry pi.
    E' davvero una bella macchina nell'insieme, seppure sia stata meno popolare e diffusa rispetto ai giganti Amiga e AtariST.

  9. The most interesting thing: it uses an early ARM chip, the same platform that today powered your smartphone, Raspberry and many other low-power or portable device.

  10. Between WP-CLI, Acorn, and WordPress, you can build custom commands that assist with site maintenance. This post shows you how.

  11. Abuse – a computer game developed by Crack dot Com and published by Origin Systems and Electronic Arts in 1996 for DOS and Linux. An improved port for Mac OS was created by Bungie Studios. After the game’s source code was released in 1998, an Amiga port was also created. archivegame.org/abuse/ #game #dos #osx #acorn #amigaos #ios #android #linux #bsd #aix

  12. You ever used an acorn whistle or have any idea what I'm referring to?

    No one I've ever shown it to IRL has ever seen or heard of it. Is this some lost #Southern #Appalachian #folk wisdom?

  13. He estat pensant molt en els troncs de Nadal aquests dies. 
    A Catalunya tenim el mundialment conegut i incomprès Tió, però el tronc de Nadal és un element comú a les cultures europees.

    Els elements compartits són: un tronc al qual se li fan ofrenes i es crema la nit de Nadal, tenint les seves cendres qualitats apotropàiques (es guardaven tot l'any per curar, protegir, o s'escampaven per les terres de casa per assegurar la fertilitat dels camps).

    L'altre dia estava agafant glans i picava amb un pal les branques d'alzina.
    Queien les glans a munts sobre el meu cap.
    Vaig pensar “és com la cavalcada de reis i els seus caramels”.
    I llavors vaig fer la relació colpejar arbre = regals.
    Perquè hi ha diversos arbres que es varegen per recollir-ne els fruits.
    Després, el tió també es crema i tenim aquest acte d'alliberar la llum del Sol continguda dins la fusta per la màgia de la fotosíntesi.

    Un ritual de solstici.
    Recordar que la llum no ha marxat.
    Que la Natura ens assegura la Vida, amb llum i amb fruits.

  14. Day 8 of the 12 Days of Jewelry, December 2025 - Cheap and Cheerful
    I wouldn’t describe any of my jewelry as cheap. Let’s say, budget friendly. The lower necklace is from Touchstone Crystals. The upper necklace was purchased at a Native American craft fair. Please note that not all beaded jewelry is budget friendly. Oh no. But I think this wooden acorn was purchased as a jewelry finding.

  19. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 4

    I think that nature is a better artist than me. Perhaps therefore, my jacket and trouser pockets are always full after a walk in the woods. And then I put the stuff on the table and talk to it, or it talks to me. After all that chatting, I have a new collage. 😉

  20. De la joieta de llibre "Cocina bellotera para la era postpetrolera" de César Lema.

  21. It’s another BBC Master video from me and in this one I’m taking a quick look at Word Processing 1980’s style using VIEW.

    Also, can we transfer a word processing document from the Master to a modern Mac? 🤔

    Worth a try. 😁

    Only now did I notice the cameo by Sophie Wilson. 🤦🏽‍♂️
