The internet monopolist in our area just raised the price from US$90 to US$100. An 11% price increase without any notice because "fuck you, we can, customer".
This is for a meager 500 down/20 up connection; internet only, nothing else. One hundred bloody bucks.
But yeah, "I'd rather have a private plan", capitalism, free markets, murrica, yada-yada... tough luck when there's no competition.

BC looks genuinely interesting, it's a file manager and viewer inspired by Midnight Commander / Norton Commander for the ZX Spectrum 128k + EsxDos

Boby grabó en lo que sobraba de la Cara A con su cassette doble pletina el juego «Manic Miner». Lo grabó también en la cara B por aquello de tener otra copia de seguridad.
Boby era buena gente pero realmente «no tenía muchas luces», no era «el lápiz más afilado del estuche» .... #xz #spectrum #zxspectrum #manicminer #zx80

If you can afford it, after the untimely demise of the World of Spectrum database, it would be a good time to help leeching and seeding zxart as a preservation safe. Spectrum Computing and the Internet Archive are amazing resources, but it's public knowledge how archives are enduring persistent attacks. Nothing can beat redundancy of a full organised archive distributed globally.

I was finally able to correct my emulator, ZenZX, to make it work with ZX Spectrum +3 floppy discs which weren't so floppy. With many thanks to @FromTheFourthPlanet@mas.to for her wonderful emulator, SpecIde, I learned massively from her generous gift and her deep knowledge of the machinery involved. https://github.com/MartianGirl/SpecIde
Now I'm able to load The Artist II by Ocean Software from a DSK image. I wasn't able to draw f** s** using its keyboard layout. Here's a dodgy invader for you.

Oakhollow is starting to look like something that could grow on me.

It is unfortunate that #war and #agendas wait for nobody, especially when you least expect an unrelated issue to effect certain #communities. Of whom I have nothing but #respect for as a whole. I do not believe in #minority or #majority status. I would much rather #status of any kind be filtered by #interest first, by removing a list of unchangeable #priorities and replacing each one with a single common #spectrum of focus where applicable.
