I picked up this 1984 kiddies BASIC programming book.
I wasn't alive then, but just for giggles I'm typing out all the programs from it, getting them to run on FreeBASIC, then compiling them.
And it's #FOSS.
Check it out (or help if you fancy): https://codeberg.org/TheJessieKirk/FirstComputerLibrary
AI has sucked a lot of joy out of programming so maybe this will put some back in?
NOTE: It's a work in progress. I'm still adding them from this book, don't have all the books and don't know BASIC well yet 🤪

Please keep posting your art; drawings, paintings, poems, photos, comics, doodles, music, whatever.
Culture is one of the few things that make us remarkable as a species, and of paramount importance it properly aids the preservation of humankind's emotional expression.
And do remember, a computer *cannot* make art.

Hi #FOSS fans, some #Android advice please:
Given how I can't find any information as to the future of #LineageOS after Alphabet closes up Android, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to switch to #eOS.
I need to re-flash my phone anyway in order to update LineageOS, so it's a good time.
I am concerned about app compatibility on /e/OS, like can I use banking apps and such?
Thanks! x

Computer-shaped void in spacetime that will explode if it touches computer?

I keep seeing lots of posts with guillotines.
I'm going to register my disgust here. I'm firmly against capital punishment in all forms and without exception.
It's sick, and so are you if you're effectively in a lynch mob.

So due to the erm... unique way the DWP is ran, we didn't get any benefit this month. After rent and utilities, we have very little cash for the basics, and so I'm forced to please ask for financial help to last until the end of the month.
Thank you and please do consider retooting 💜 x

Awwww excellent!
I was studying cats just yesterday and was surprised to learn that all domestic cats (Felis catus) are descended from the North African Wildcat (F. lybica lybica) and not F. silvestris. I honestly thought they were a hybrid between the two, as F. silvestris looks like a tabby.
(Although I argue F. catus should be F. lybica catus).

Hiya! So is there a #FOSS alternative to Grammarly, please?
I actually only want a spellcheck and dictionary that is cross-platform (Windows, Android and Linux), especially with custom dictionary support (or at least custom words).
Oh, no AI. Ta x
EDIT: Am I going to have to make it myself? 😜

I blocked "loli.rodeo", which looks like a 4chan-esque troll server.
Go figure with that name.
I'd recommend blocking it. It seems to have stopped most of the trolling I've been getting.
EDIT: tsundere.love, nekosat.work, dsmc.space, loli.church and nightshift.social too. Same 4chan shite.

You may recall my recent post that my eyesight has deteriorated to the point where the stars have gone out for me.
I think I might try a telescope. I know nothing about telescopes tho so any advice would be appreciated. x
EDIT: I can't see out of my right eye.
