And obviously no chance to vote against it :-)

Negative ROI from the get go... and nothing really justifies this waste of money.

Sorry for harsh expression but I tried to capture the feeling, or what it must feel to be in that situation.

Here's what I've recommended to a some 20 something people who are beginning of their career, as understandably don't have like similar privileges as I might have to pick AI, or scrape it. Most likely ur ass-raped by the chatbots on a daily basis.

I've told them to learn assembly of some retro computer and write stuff for that hardware platform (e.g. 6502, Z80, m68k, x86 based from 80s/90s era), perhaps buy something like DE-10 Nano FPGA and start experimenting.

I just thought that figuring things out in that type of microversum would be the best antidote for the poison in question :-) For me it was at least good therapy to write amode and mxmplay2 (and more MS-DOS stuff to come in future), as the world felt too weird...

I myself learned most of my programming skills first with Turbo Pascal and later on with Turbo Assembler. That's why I still have hard time dealing with the kernel's horrible AT&T syntax :-) I

@EF I think I buy the basic jolla phone at some point :-) it's a boring smart phone, which is great. with C=-phone i actually dislike explicit blockers for social media. IMHO, it should be an option and is a bit silly tbh. I mean I would buy a Sailfish OS phone exactly that have more policy-free alternative than my iPhone.

@EF I think I'll pass this. I mean there is a discount BUT still too expensive. By large this is thanks to crazy prices of semiconductors ATM.

One thing AI boom has caused this year is that I've almost completely stop spending money except buying food and groceries. This mustt make economy strong, especially given that almost all of semiconductor supply is bought with debt money 🤷

I put all the cool stuff to Codeberg and things like coding agent sandboxing plugins to Github :-) Github is my landfill.

My MS-DOS stash:

1. https://codeberg.org/jarkko/amode
2. https://codeberg.org/jarkko/mxmplay2

I've been postponing setting up ao486 GUS fork so thus no example program yet available :-) and i should make a track to supplement that.

I know some demo coders who work on MS-DOS on retro demoscene productions but cannot really recommend these before bare metal testing shows green. Especially GUS playback routine needs to be verified.d

@Mastodon Ah they are pins! There's another area to level up :-) I'll order the shirt but look forward to get a fridge magnet too some time in future.

@Mastodon Yes, very cool! As we speak making an order. Maybe I take of those silly fridge magnets too, while at it. They look so inviting... can't resist ;-)
