This is not really a thing yet.

^(Edit: I think it is now.)^

Hoo boy; we have all sorts of formatting options here!

10 print "goto 10";
20 hello world!

spoiler(Personally, I liked to spell it GO TO wherever it’d let me)

I hope this place will become popular and full of useful guides and whatnot

[–] monolalia 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks :)

I haven’t announced it anywhere public yet (= our subreddit); I’m totally new to lemmy.

[–] Kutsuya 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm new too! It's a new age of internet isn't it

[–] monolalia 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A bit like a cross between the social media and the insular web forum ages, plus added activism and federation. So… I guess yes. :)

[–] Kutsuya 2 points 2 years ago

Yea, I think it's a good thing tbh. Reddit used to be a big part of the internet, owned by a single company. Now, not anymore and that's great!

Hey everyone, I saw this "trending" community and subbed :)

@monolalia @raspberriesareyummy hello, this is a post from mastodon. If this works, it seemns federation here is working as expected, very nice indeed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

interesting that no commenter name is shown on my previous comment, like it is for native lemi ones, not even an avatar, not one that can be read with the screenreader anyway, so federation is still a bit flaky, perhaps worth filing some UX related issues over it? hmm, what do you think? Even better imo, would be for this platform to implement the reddit api specification, so that existing clients can be used for it, as it'd be a petty for all that good and perfectly functional software to go to waist, lots of people pored their precious time into making the experience work enough that everyone has it as nice as possible, even though the original one is trash, despite the stupid and nonsensical restrictions and rate limiting reddit did.

(That makes it still visibly scroll/add text once the screen is full!)

It’s always so disappointing when retrocomputing YouTubers don’t do that…

Checking in... Love the Commodore pic. Started coding on a C64 then Amiga (Which I still have). Do it as a job now on a boring Windows PC.

[–] RoyalEngineering 1 points 2 years ago

Beautiful device. Would love to see a video of it working.

[–] scutiger 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Languages that used line numbers didn't use semicolons to mark the end of a statement.

Also, this program would just say "goto 10" and then would popup an error because "hello world!" is not a statement.

But I'm just being silly.

[–] monolalia 3 points 2 years ago

Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)
