Someone: "AI art isn't art!!

Me: [Bweating nervously] 'W-What if I used it for inspiration? I don't see it as art, I see it as an idea generator so I can get a basic idea of what something looks like"

Someone: "REEEE YOU ARE A BAD PERSON U SUPPORT AI ART"

I don't even see it as art but instead as an idea generator. I'm a minor person who doesn't even like capitalism nor am I claiming it as mine.

They're idea blenders, not artists or writers. They are for putting ideas into & making smoothies

34 years ago on October 3, 1989, Maxis released SimCity, also known as Micropolis or SimCity Classic.

In SimCity, players take the role of a city mayor with the task of creating, managing, and developing a virtual city.

It sold over 300,000 units for personal computers and nearly 2 million units for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

SimCity received numerous awards from news publishers and associations

68 years ago on October 2, 1955, the ENIAC computer was officially retired after 11 years of service.

Unveiled in 1946, it ran at 5,000 operations per second, a thousand times faster than its peers, using plug boards, switches, and punch cards.

ENIAC occupied 1,000 square feet of space and played crucial roles in scientific calculations

Am I one of the few people who misses physical cash? With buying online it makes sense not to have physical cash but in person? I dunno.

I miss feeling physical coins, bank notes and thinking that I’m not overspending.

“But Sinclair, you can overspend with physical money too!”

I know you can, but it’s called not giving into your impulses. I like physical money as much as I like physical books, but I need to get more physical books…


nostr:npub1n2l9wawlwczn9g3yacd0ymhmzhq6vevmswms8vq44n84xhf38c3sj0czv7 😂 They meant it in reference to how there’s so many instances. Depending on how many instances there are, you need that many accounts.

I do wonder how many mastodon instances there are though


Thinking about the time I suggested Mastodon to someone on Discord but they said it had a bad name and it is too decentralised. I mean, Mastodon is so much better as a name than "X". At least it doesn't sound like an adult site and how can something be too decentralised?

Said person also said you had to make a million accounts to join Mastodon...


On this day on October 1, 1954, IBM announced the Model 705 computer.

The IBM 705 was a first-generation tube-based computer and the first commercial computer with core memory. The IBM 705 used 1,700 vacuum tubes. It could multiply two 10 digit numbers in just 2.4 milliseconds.

The IBM 705 was a character-oriented machine, with 7-bit characters and 35-bit words, with each word containing 5 characters. There were several different models of the IBM 705

IBM's decision to introduce the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and the Video Graphics Array (VGA) as standard features on PS/2 computers was a notable step forward in PC technology

25 years ago on September 28, 1998, Internet Explorer overtook Netscape Navigator in market share for the first time, marking a turning point in the browser wars of the late 1990s.

This was part of the beginning of Internet Explorer's dominance in the browser market, which continued for several years. Microsoft's bundling of Internet Explorer with its Windows operating system played a significant role in this shift.

Nearly a century ago on September 28, 1925, Seymour Cray, a pioneering figure in the world of supercomputing, was born.

He went on to become the founder of Cray Inc. Seymour Cray was a pioneer in the field of computer architecture and is best known for designing some of the world's fastest supercomputers during his career.

Despite his passing on October 5, 1996, at the age of 71, Seymour Cray's legacy lives on in the world of supercomputing.

On September 27, 1983, Richard Stallman made an announcement on a Usenet message, introducing the world to the GNU Project, which stands for "GNU's Not Unix”.

The idea behind the project was to develop and publish free software that granted users the rights to run, copy, distribute, study, and modify the software. This was a significant departure from proprietary software practices prevalent at the time.

Idk what 86box has done but after version 3.0, I can’t emulate Yggdrasil Linux anymore 😔.

It says the video card doesn’t support the resolution I pick for it

On September 16, 1985,, a significant moment in the tech world occurred. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, resigned from the company.

However in 1997, 12 years after he had left, Steve Jobs made a return to Apple on the exact same date (besides year) he left. His comeback would lead to a renaissance for the company, resulting in products like the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

P.S: Macintosh System 7.5 still sucks less a blonde haired lady once told me 😎

nostr:npub1ptg7lx5kc0qen0xgsvt3x7pv8wm0aqdecv3099z26ljltevac8gsrud7cp Oh wait they do? That's super funny for this dude's about me then 🙃


So, what DO I DO THEN?!

Happened to see this on someone's Discord about me and I feel like I should have many thoughts on "AGAINST RIGHT TO REPAIR".

They had me until I saw the whole "AGAINST RIGHT TO REPAIR" thing :P

Whenever I look at the #Transformers figurines I brought today, I think of how much I loved Transformers as a little kid.

Used to be a Autobots kid with Bumblebee being my fav but now I am a Decepticon adult

OMG! I just found out that there is a manga called "STEVES" that literally follows the early years of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the co-founders of Apple!

Woz looks so happy

I was looking at old family photos and this PC caught my eye. Has anyone seen a case like this before?

This photo was from way before I was born but it would be pretty neat to have a case that is similar, if not exactly the same

Wonder if I should buy myself a little netbook, upgrade it and use it as a little machine where I can play emulated games


I think I may have discovered a new genre of music to enjoy. It’s called Lostwave and some of it is pretty interesting, until we get to the messed up weird stuff but I prefer the tamer stuff.

Tf? My iMac that runs Linux Mint always seems to make a super loud pop from the speaker whenever I try to play anything with audio.

Not that I have the tools to fix it but this isn’t supposed to happen, right??? It’s a late 2006 iMac

On September 13, 1956, the first computer, the IBM 305 RAMAC, was shipped and it featured a 1-ton hard drive. This colossal hard drive consisted of 50 massive 24-inch platters, collectively capable of storing up to 5 million characters of data.

The IBM 305 RAMAC was the first commercial computer that used a moving-head hard disk drive (magnetic disk storage) for secondary storage.

My school did a stupid and blocked the Mastodon web client, so I screwed them over and used command prompt with a VPN to install Whalebird from the net as for some reason they have the Microsoft Store blocked as well

On September 9, 1941, 82 years ago, Dennis Ritchie, the brilliant mind behind the C programming language and a key developer of UNIX was born.

C, which he wrote the book for it with Brian Kernighan, became the source for countless software applications and operating systems. UNIX, developed alongside Ken Thompson, laid the groundwork for modern computing.

Despite his passing on October 12, 2011, at the age of 70, Ritchie's legacy lives on

A better #introduction post?

If you do not know me already I am Sinclair-Speccy, your resident computer nerd who lives upside down.

My interests are #RetroComputing, #Vaporwave, #MagicalGirls, #MagicalRenegades and I have a website located at https://sinclair-speccy.github.io/The-Mainframe/index.html for my technology ramblings.

As for here, sometimes I do emulation, sometimes I post tech ads, or boost retro tech stuff!
