Gosh it is anoying to get ads in geman (mostly) or italian (sometimes) when you live in the french-speaking area of Switzerland. And don't tell me my IP cannot be geo-located precisely enough to figure that out. Yeah, looking at you, YouTube !

When you get a call from an unknown number on your personal mobile phone :

So I found a #Dart package that emulates a #Z80 processor. And I suddenly wondered, is there a #ZXSpectrum - the best retro computer ever created ! - written in #Flutter ? Apparently there is something, that I now need to have a look at ! Stay tuned, we'll be right back !

@thelovebug@mastodon.me.uk @fitheach@mstdn.io From what I understand, we get 30% or the retail price per sale, and 0.003 € per page read with the Kindle subscription thingy.

Most sells happened during the period where the book was free (go figure ^^).

The book was published at the beginning of November, was free for 5 days, and since then, we made a grand total of 0.80 € !

I think I'll keep my day job for now ^^

@thelovebug@mastodon.me.uk @fitheach@mstdn.io oh sir you are too good ! It was fun getting into writing. And painful getting into self publishing 😂 but, I might do it again anyway.

@adminkirsty@infosec.exchange @frenchguych@ubuntu.social @lukewh@mastodon.social oh bummer. Not a good start of a season after the clash that had to be .. preponed (is that a word ?). Well, one more day to wait then !

For those who didn't get it yet, or if you know someone who would be interested but don't want to pay for it, my short story The Stew that stirred Trouble is free again, for 5 days. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CMM6GGNJ

It also exists in french : https://amzn.eu/d/an1Dcmd

Hey @standupmaths@mathstodon.xyz have you seen this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rg7xvTJ8SU That's some Excell magic right there ! Thank @popey@ubuntu.social for the link.

Today's disapointment : running "gitkraken ." from the command line does start GitKraken, but does not open the current directory in a tab. Bummer.

@wimpy@fosstodon.org gosh I never made half a million dollars with any of my Flutter apps. Am I in the wrong line of business ?

Today's the day ! @lukewh@mastodon.social are you ready ? It's the #NASCAR 2024 season opener, the 66th running of the Daytona 500 ! Boogity boogity boogity, let's go racing boys !

#fact : a Gravitrax set is endless fun. A Gravitrax set with a 3d printed motized elevator is even endlessier fun !

@Maestraccio@mastodon.uno I am actually learning german :-)

@lukewh@mastodon.social DnD mostly nowadays. I'm the mighty DM ^^ But in my younger years, I played Vampire : The Mascarade, Werewolf : The Apocalyse, Shadorun, Middle Earth RPG, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu, etc.. etc..

I got together with my AI friend, and tried to describe what an "experience point" is in a typical roleplaying game. Then, I asked it to generate an image of what an "experience point" would look like. This is what it came up with. I love it !

@dushman@den.raccoon.quest Microsoft Edge on every platform, but it's not on the list.

I got myself a Logitech MX Keys keyboard. It's the second best keyboard I ever had, just after the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2. Granted, they don't play in the same league. But as far as non mechanical keyboards go, the MX Keys keyboard is awesome. It has Mac and PC keys, can connect to up to 3 computers or phones or tablets, has plenty of utility keys, and feels really good for a programmer's use. I don't know if it would be good for gaming, but since I don't do games, I don't particularly care.
