Just completed another Mastodon migration, this time from the c64.chat instance, which is very sadly going to disappear on December 1st.

Since my previous account is going away, I guess an #introduction is in order.

I live in Rome, Italy (I'm from Naples, though), I'm in my early fifties, and in the last year and a half I started to finally understand more stuff about the #Commodore64 , mainly thanks to the #XCBASIC cross compiler (if you're curious: xc-basic.net/ ).

I still have to learn plenty more, but in the meantime I had the audacity to put a couple of little #C64 games on jjflash.itch.io

I'm quite sad that c64.chat is going to shut down, I also hope to feel at home here just like I did there :)

#introductions

this is quite possibly the funniest preview of a news story Mastodon has ever generated

I am in favour of banning the sale of cigarettes, but not the personal cultivation and consumption of tobacco.

At a personal level, I really dislike cigarette smoke and I don't trust the tobacco industry one bit. I believe that cigarettes are a deadly product that has been marketed in a deceptive and predatory way over the years. I also believe that the tobacco industry has done a great deal of harm to public health, both through its products and its lobbying efforts.

However, I am generally not in favour of banning things. I believe that people should have the freedom to make their own choices, even if those choices are harmful to themselves. I also believe that prohibition often has unintended consequences, such as creating black markets and increasing crime.

For these reasons, I believe that the best way to reduce smoking rates is to make it more difficult for people to buy cigarettes. Banning the sale of cigarettes would make it much harder for young people to start smoking, and it would also make it more difficult for people who are trying to quit.

I recognize that there are some people who have a genuine appreciation for tobacco and its culture.For this reason, I believe that it is important to allow people to grow and consume their own tobacco, even if cigarettes are banned. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67010681

@Retrotrashtv Linux.

Literally, Linux supports adf files natively:

sudo mount -t affs -o loop demo.adf /mnt/adf

Maybe things will be OK if you just forget about them and lie on the ground

Good morning 😊 does anyone know a good tool to extract files from an ADF Amiga image? #adf #amiga #retro

Estaba haciendo memoría y he caído en que #capcom es una de esas desarrolladoras que no se ha perdido ninguna plataforma desde los 8bit. Siempre ha intentado lanzar juegos y apoyar todas las consolas y hasta la Wii U o #Dreamcast tienen juegazos. Bien por ellos 👌

I don't normally post about politics, but this has made me angry. We can't have high speed rail, we can't have affordable rail, we can't have an NHS that's not plagued with delays for many patients, we can't have roads without potholes or enough parking, we can't have the powerstations and chargers needed to go with EVs, we can't have housing that people can afford. What can we have? What? Is all national infrastructure going to be decay till we have nothing? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-670

River Raid (Activision, 1984). Good conversion of the classic Atari game. Pilot a plane and fly down (up, to be precise) a river valley in order to destroy all the enemy bridges. Avoid ships, helicopters, tanks in the river shore or even ballons; collect fuel or you'll run out and crash; extra points if a bridge is destroyed while a tank is crossing, two-players option, ... In spite of its poor graphics, the game is really addictive
