I still have some tracks made and uploaded by users on a forum I was in as a teenager in 2005. One of them in particular is pretty good and is made by someone who has a small following now...

Can you delete existing Forth functions to save resources though, or do you have to reset the whole machine and just not load them next time?

Hmm. Could you run #CollapseOS on #subleq then?

Am I understanding this correctly? In the #uxn code: `EQU ?{LIT 01}`, 01 is only pushed if EQU evaluates to false? It seems counterintuitive...

Also covering the various migrations, such as when all the Scottish pro-independence people turned up, shortly followed by all the Indian Muslims, both of which were not long after the birdsite app devs started to trickle in (I don't know about earlier than that as I joined in that 2018 migration because of wanting to keep up with posts from @npub1wdd…3nue).

That was about when we got Internet, yup. BT Click Free (Free because there was no additional contract, you just paid extra for the phone bills. We put the number on our "favourite calls" list that's meant to be used for friends and family for an additional discount).

I think we got our first PC in about 1994 as my father was doing his masters dissertation and needed to type stuff up. I'd just started school...

That typeface looks like it's from a BBC Master. I thus presume this is from the Domesday project? (I haven't clicked the link yet, I presume the answer's there, but I wanted to make a prediction before clicking).

I think my track (released through CDBaby) is still up everywhere, but I think they're just keeping the money at this point. They paid out in $10 installments and I never received anything and now my details are long out of date...

"The two stacks are circular, to pop an empty stack does not trigger an error, but merely means to set the stack pointer to 255": this wasn't true for uxn32 last time I used it - is it a new clarification or was that a bug?

Thanks for all the hard work on these docs: they're much better! I never know how to pronounce "uxntal": I've been using either "U.X.N. tahl" or "ux-n tahl". A pronunciation guide would be a welcome addition...

Is it actually possible to log into an account with your app? The wording in the app says you can but there's no button to do so. (Also, there's inconsistent wording throughout it)...

Ah, OK. Thanks. It's just the bit at the top of the page implies that it's just replaced with the raw return address, not a JSI and return. Thanks for the clarification!

2025-03-02 01:32:38 UTC

@npub1z8r…mrq6 I assume in uxntal lambdas, if execution reaches an opening curly, it's treated as some form of JMIk (not that that seems to exist?), based on the data structures example in https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal_lambdas.html , though it's not explicitly stated anywhere. Could you confirm or explain what I'm misunderstanding (and ideally put it in the documentation)? Thanks.

They don't have to, of course. With the Online Safety Act and its ilk, all online platforms (fedi, forums, chat apps, etc.) are in contravention and they can simply selectively enforce the law against anyone they don't like...

It just hit me that following someone from #snac is a little easier than from #Mastodon (for people not on your timeline) because the user ops just has a textbox and a "follow" button rather than having to search for their username and server, *then* open their profile and only *then* click follow. That's 2-3 button mouse-clicks for Mastodon compared with 1 for snac!

Windows can use a console for output redirection, which uxn32 doesn't support
