@codewiz It’s probably like fireworks - better watch and enjoy than focus on a tiny screen in your hands.

@codewiz @tagomago @benoit From my experience with Japanese culture, if the Kewpie runs out on the ISS, it's an immediate mission abort for the Japanese astronauts.😜

@codewiz @tagomago @benoit From everything I’ve ever heard from astronauts, they appreciate strong flavors, since food generally is having less flavor in weightlessness. They need need double the dose of okonomiyaki sauce! 😁

I’m about to head into San Francisco for the first time in almost three months to pick up some items from my desk. The company had to activate my key card so I can even get into the building as they had literally locked down the office.This is going to be weird.

@ceejbot And I'm saying this while I'm falling into an ever-deeper hole of [Kerbal / Cities Skyline / Civ VI] Productivity is for other people.

@galaxis Well, you can't just stop at one TT. :)

@galaxis I've never had a chance to play with Atari System V, although I hazily remember sitting in front of a TT with System V running for a few minutes. I was working in a computer store in the mid-80s in Munich and we sold mostly boxed 8-bit and 16-bit systems without hands-on service. But the store across the street was a licensed Atari dealership and they had ALL the systems. There I even had a chance to touch a working ST Book when they briefly appeared. :)

@galaxis The way it worked was that all the computer stores in that one street - while appearing to be competitors - were often helping each other out with inventory if something ran out. Our store and the Atari dealer across the street always swapped stock and sent customers to each other if we thought the other side would be a better fit. :)

Well, crap. So it looks like mastodon.cloud will be closing end of June due to new laws in Japan making online community management a pain in the butt. Expect a new Mastodon address from me shortly...

@fitheach Quote from a post by the admin: "Recently, the handling of online defamation has become a hot topic on many mass media as well as social media channels. News Article for Reference: https://www.jiji.com/sp/article?k=2020052500387 In response to these reports, it is expected that lawsuits and disclosure requests will become more publicly known; and government agencies will order stricter enforcement in addition to tightening regulations."

@fitheach Mastodon.cloud was sold to a company more than a year ago, and it seems the owners are afraid of getting drawn into no-win lawsuits. Not unlikely, since Japan is not known for a progressive court system - it's near certain that the judge wouldn't be able to pick a computer out of a line-up of home appliances.

@fitheach Well, I've had a second Mastodon account set up a while ago. I guess I will now activate the necessary emergency protocols and deploy my new identity! 😜
