The Magnavox Odyssey 2 (released 1978, a year after the Atari VCS) could have 16 sprites onscreen at once. Four of them were "user-defined sprites," meaning the game designer could draw them. 12 had to pull from the pool of 64 preset characters in the BIOS ROM.

The intention seems to have been that you would do the gameplay with the custom sprites, and draw text, the score, etc. with the ROM sprites, but a lot of games relied heavily on the ROM art. It's an interesting design constraint.

A grid of 64 symbols, including letters and numbers in no discernible order, punctuation, math symbols, block and line drawing characters, arrows, several vehicles, and a stick figure with a walk cycle.

Well-known Gaza journalist Bisan Owda has been banned from TikTok, she says, just days after the finalization of the company’s sale to U.S. investors — including a firm headed by the notoriously pro-Israel Larry Ellison.

Owda announced the censorship of her account in a video on Instagram on Wednesday, saying that TikTok had banned her permanently. She had 1.4 million followers on the platform.

BSD Cafe Announcements @announcements@bsd.cafe
Public
Shared by Stefano Marinelli

Important announcement, especially for BSD Cafe friends who don’t have a local account.

Over the past few days I noticed that, when browsing some public pages on our Mastodon server (especially the federated timeline, meaning posts coming from other instances as well), certain content could appear without a CW and in some cases it was pornographic, illegal, or generally not suitable for a general audience.
The problem is that this was visible even to users who were not logged in, which effectively made BSD Cafe a gateway to that content. Also, some media files are cached on our server, so it could look like BSD Cafe is the source of it.

For this reason I had to make a decision: I have disabled the ability for non-logged-in visitors to view posts coming from other instances.
This way, anyone visiting BSD Cafe without an account will only see BSD Cafe local content, helping us avoid potential issues, including legal ones.
Some of you (from other instances) thought you had been blocked because you could no longer see your posts here, but that is not the case: your posts are still fully visible to local users, as usual.

I have also re-enabled (at least for now) hashtag browsing, since BSD Cafe is one of the most well federated instances for BSD-related content and it would be a shame to lose that. However, I may reconsider this decision if it leads to problems.

Let me know if you notice anything unusual.

Is time a fundamental part of reality? A quiet revolution in physics suggests not

Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.

Welcome to the "I told you so" week, where, everything I predicted happened.

I need a shirt. Or a mug.

Folks, please listen to your resident neurodivergent person. Many of us have high pattern recognition, which means that we are the canaries in the coal mine.
