Just a 50 year old bloke playing around in a star sandbox, sometimes termed as a game. Suggested to choose the name Halo Jones at a beta party in 3301 as a joke. 7 years on its kind of stuck. #elitedangerous account, mainly photos of spaceships in front of things

In the 'non EU' queue recently in . The in front of me was complaining about how 'they' have a law that would put you in prison for being rude to officials, but they can be rude as they like to you.

He then was insensed that the officer was spending a long time politely detailing to the person in front how to get to Frankfurt, what to see, and generally being a wonderful, welcoming ambassador for Germany.

You bring your prejudices with you.

@tanepiper have read Simon* Baron Cohen's book yet ? It resonates at so many levels

If I understand the latest "Kate" news - she's not dead, but has in fact been prepared for succession in the face of possible criticism that the UK just paid for King Charles's coronation and now he's about to step down because of his cancer.

I'm not particularly interested, but as a moment of crisis management it's been handled poorly.

@tanepiper "prepared" ?

I need a loooooonnnnnggggg HDMI cable. Now, I know any HDMI over 10m is asking for trouble but I don't make the rules here...

Can anyone recommend a brand for 20m HDMI cables.

Thanks! Boosts welcome, I'm in the UK, traveling to Zurich so links for either UK os Swiss retail only.

Boosts welcome.
Love you! :goodpc:

Fellow , I come to you in need.

I have resumed my project and after much struggling, I feel like I'm close, but stumped yet again.

Recap: Trying to run dosbox on RPI4 using an old CRT monitor. MicroHDMI > VGA.

This is what I see when I run dosbox. Don't think that's right. The terminal in Linux looks fine. No desktop environment installed.

Don't look right LOL. Any clues? Configs in reply.

Cmdr_Halo_Jones,

@wagesj45

Are there any twiddling knobs on the monitor? used to have and twiddly bits.



DO try to adjust your set...

Cmdr_Halo_Jones,
@Cmdr_Halo_Jones@spacey.space avatar

@wagesj45 don't assume the dodbox output is anything like hi resolution as the PI OS.

you might need to start by trying dosbox in a lower full resolution.

Einstein right again: Antimatter falls “down” due to gravity like ordinary matter. CERN's ALPHA experiment confirms matter and antimatter react to gravity in a similar way. https://arstechnica.com/?p=1971331

This pretty much explains the Fediverse

Share this post and if you can, post a comment because, genuinely I woke up this morning to a staggering number of shares and favourites.

The comments PROVE Mastodon is the place where common decency is being restored. I feel hopeful for the future.

What lovely people you all are.

Comment to be part of this new town square, or as I like to think of it, our tearoom. And add me, I'm going to be brewing lots of tea.

@tanepiper is this where appliances are going? Where the physical appliances have zero buttons and they are only controlled through cloud API? Gives the ability for UI refresh via app alone at least...

If you think you're having a bad day - don't worry - Musk just went all in on the rebrand of to #X - not only does the logo and name look like a private strip club, but didn't check there was an existing handle and now can't change it without deleting a 17-year-old account.

Elite's a game close to my heart although recently distant to my gaming habits.
