We ended up having to let her go. Her pneumonia was worsening, she could barely breathe even with oxygen, and antibiotics *might* have helped i decided not to let her suffer on a crapshoot. The vet didn't charge for new xrays but we did have to pay for euthanasia, so we could still really use help.

Hmm, a little over twice the standard clock speed? I wonder how much faster that actually runs & how much other hardware clocks get in the way? Often wondered if doubling the Speccy SPU clock would help with slow instructions, even if it was still yoked by the ULA.

Best Practice: F1 for the Enterprise 128K by Kroysoft‬ Impressive looking racing game for an 8bit, although the vid says it was recorded on a 10mhz Enterprise. Apparently it'll work on a standard machine, but the fps'll be lower. @retroid.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4k4...

I don't know; I feel like it's pretty clear why living under queer-hating fascists would make people less likely to identify publicly as queer.

I detest when people's first instinct either as a Moderator or just to correct someone is to be antagonistic bordering on hostile. That's just shitty and bullying behaviour. It doesn't steer anyone, just cowed. Seem it FAR too many times on places like Reddit, Facebook, Discords etc.
