Look what came in the mail today. Another 386 board, this time with OPTi chipset, but it has the dreaded Varta bomb. I'll see if I can rescue it. #retrogaming #retrocomputing

Got some old Roland gear in the mail today. Couldn't pass up the opportunity of owning a Sound Canvas in credit card form factor. #RetroComputing #Roland #MIDI

This is ridiculous. Been using #Mastodon for a while now alongside Twitter, just out of curiousity, and this is what I came to realize:

While I really like the idea of a #federated timeline, in its current state, it is overrun by #bots, that #spam random stuff or pics of all arbitrary things, I'm absolutely NOT interested in.

It's basically unusable to connect with real people. Instead, hourly pics of animals, plushies, even computer-generated noise, ironically, and other arbitrary things are thrown at me, which I couldn't care less about. If I wanted that content, I could just go search for it. Even now, after blocking botsin.space, it's still the same. What a total joke. If you ask me, some kind of basic spam protection that goes beyond blocking domains or single accounts is needed. End #rant
