#RetroComputing fun. My current obsessions: Demo CDs from Macintosh computer magazines in the mid 90s to early 2000s especially magazines published outside the US. The open source software scene for the first few versions of Mac OS X.
collector & tinkerer of vintage electronic test equipment, and the occasional retro-computer.
code artist
retrocoder of all the things but especially the Atari ST
Artist. Technologist. Covered in pet fur and ready to go to the antique store. Delighted to meet you! 🌈
I'm a crusty old nerd who chases bright shiny things and loves playing with old computers :) Especially my Atari 800XL and Amiga.
I build castles in the cloud(s) for a living.
Apparently I exude TOXIC POSITIVITY, or so people on the internet tell me. We're all gonna die eventually, might as well feel good while we enjoy the ride :)
I'm just an idiot. Far too much politics, not enough furry stuff and goofery, working on a balance.
Migrated from @nini, eggbug forever!
Erstwhile UNIX programmer and system administrator. Windows Server administrator. Old hardware repurposer. Newish crown green bowler.
I like vintage computers and video games. I also collect music and video on old formats. My basement is a CRT display sanctuary.
If I were in a relationship, it'd be gay, but mostly I feel like I'm in a sinking ship.

I sometimes reply with bad jokes. I am not an authority. Seriously, the anxiety would destroy me.

Mixed-race, fat, pan, poly, trans, heavy left/socialist leanings. She/her. 50. Neuro atypical (anxiety/depression). Laid-back musician, gamer, and cat fanatic.
We're an electronic entertainment museum. We toot about things that bleep and bloop.
Showcasing games, media, and the machines and micros that play them. Also the occasional oddly-enough hardware, and anything in-between that fits.
We're in a shared, physical space just north of Baltimore - 15 000+ square feet, 20 000 items, many that power on! DM us for a tour; we can accommodate most schedules.
We're accepting donations. If it #belongsinamuseum please get in touch!
I'm a computer scientist who absolutely loves #retrocomputing and #retrogaming!
Some of my software & hardware creations: Shredz64 (#C64 Guitar Hero), ZISA-X (ISA compatible #Z80 computer), Whirlwind (NES FPGA), and currently working on a #BBS themed adventure RPG, Cloudburst Connection.
Recent repairs & mods: IMSAI 8080, TRS-80 Model III, C128DCR.
Research interests: Bioinformatics, genomics, file systems, HPC, and scientific reproducibility. Check out my ORCID page for my publications!
Just a 30something Canadian dude from #VancouverIsland who's into #RetroComputing (mainly old #Apple / #Mac stuff), #Programming, and general #Technology enthusiast. Also love to #Travel!
I wrote a Mastodon client for vintage Mac computers, #Macstodon, which you can get from here: https://github.com/smallsco/macstodon
Occasionally I’ll post about #Anime and #Gaming, especially #ZenlessZoneZero and #HonkaiStarRail.
I boost a lot. Boosts are not endorsements.
