Whats the best Universally usable CRT Monitor for computers all trough the 80s and 90s?

With my little Computer Collection ever growing, I think its time to get myself an actual Monitor to use these Machines. So im wondering, what Monitor has most if not all Connection Types and modes of operation to be compatible with most/ if not all Computer from the 80s till the 90s?...

The Microvitec M1438 is the one I remember always being recommended.

I didn’t know I needed this. In fact, I’m still not sure but thanks for posting it!

If you’re in the UK (and I suspect you’re not, but I post this partly to help out others in a similar situation), the NHS have a “Talking Therapies” service for depression and anxiety. You can self refer so there’s no need to get diagnosed by a doctor first.

What state is that first 200 year old bun in?

It reminds me of the guy in Iceland who preserved the last Big Mac. It never went mouldy.

What other parts of the fediverse are you using?

Besides Lemmy which I love a lot, I’m also enjoying a microblog platform called Catodon, which is much less basic than Mastodon and has a very nice interface. Pixelfed is also fantastic if you like photography rather than just being Instagram influencer nonsense. Where else are you hanging out? What have you liked and not...

Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Mbin, and I’m also on a test instance of Takahē (Mastodon compatible microblogging platform) which I quite like for the multiple personalities feature.

I was going to mention this! I don’t think it meets the criteria completely, but it is quite Souls-like in many aspects.

No mention of the Codemasters CD for the Spectrum, but I guess that wasn’t a “first” in the context of the article. spectrumforeveryone.com/…/inside-codemasters-cd-g…

I remember these from the PG Tips unexplained mysteries card. One of several which gave me the willies.

Thoughts on pinboard's viability?

Been using Marcin’s beautifully created bookmark manager since yahoo killed delicious. It was yahoo that bought it right? I digress. Anyway, I’ve been paying for his service since he mentioned it would be helpful if the old users also contributed BUT the site’s downtime has been rough and unpredictable lately. It’s just...

I don’t know anything about Pinboard, but if you do decide to change you might want to look at the Fediverse enabled Postmarks.

A Jellycat Dexter. So adorable but silly expensive for a cuddly thing (I was rewarding myself after having to go into hospital for an invasive test).

When I was growing up, if I wanted anything it was, “do you need it?”. This was drilled into me so much I feel a bit guilty for buying random things even though I can afford them, and I always think long and hard about purchases very rarely buying anything on impulse. Usually I see something and have to go back (weeks) later to buy it after it has been playing on my mind.

There’s also some sort of soft blocking option, which largely hides the instance AIUI but still gives the ability to follow users. This seems like a better option rather than completely defederating.

If Meta want to scrape your data they can do that anyway. All defederation does is stops you looking at their stuff (which, as you say, can be blocked at the user level anyway)
