Not a Sewing Machine: A Multimedia Briefcase
When you think of Singer, you usually think of sewing machines, although if you are a history buff, you might remember they diversified into calculators, flight simulation, and a few other odd businesses for a while. [Techmoan] has an unusual device from Singer that is decidedly not a sewing machine. It is a 1970s-era multimedia briefcase called the Audio Study Mate. This odd beast, as you can see in the video below, was a cassette player that also included a 35mm filmstrip viewer. Multimedia 1970s-style!
The film strip viewer is a bright light and a glass screen with some optics. You have to focus the image, and then a button moves the film one frame. However, that’s for manual mode. However, the tape could encode a signal to automatically advance the frame. That didn’t work right away.
Luckily, that required a teardown of the unit to investigate. Inside was a lot of vintage tech, and at some point, the auto advance started working somewhat. It never fully worked, but for a decades-old electromechanical device, it did pretty well.
We do, sometimes, miss what you could pull off with 35mm film.

Bruno Carvalho:
"Nas últimas horas, as forças ucranianas têm intensificado os ataques com drones contra Moscovo. As anti-aéreas têm sido eficazes a detectar e a eliminar boa parte destes aparelhos, mas seria um grave erro se Kiev tentasse atacar a capital russa durante as celebrações do Dia da Vitória. Com a presença de vários chefes de Estado que vão celebrar ao lado de Vladimir Putin a derrota do nazi-fascismo a Ucrânia devia preocupar-se antes em extirpar das suas fileiras aqueles que continuam a idolatrar Adolf Hitler.
Durante vários anos, o novo regime ucraniano proibiu a celebração do Dia da Vitória em todo o país, numa clara ofensa à memória dos milhões de ucranianos soviéticos que combateram as hordas hitlerianas. Depois, Zelensky decidiu mudar o Dia da Vitória de 9 para 8 de Maio com o objectivo de coincidir com as celebrações ocidentais. Um absurdo que só espelha uma subserviência provinciana a tudo o que vem do Ocidente.
Recordo que depois do Massacre de Odessa, a 2 de Maio de 2014, as forças ucranianas esmagaram pela força a revolta dos polícias de Mariupol que se recusaram a cumprir as ordens de impedir as celebrações do Dia da Vitória na cidade. Mais de uma dezena de agentes morreram a defender o direito da população de Mariupol a lembrar os seus pais, avós e bisavós. Eu estive no primeiro Dia da Vitória que foi possível comemorar em liberdade depois da entrada das tropas russas na cidade. Falei com uma mulher com 90 anos, sentada num banco de jardim, que de lágrimas nos olhos recordou o pai, soldado do Exército Vermelho, caído em combate contra os nazis.
Em Abril de 1942, as tropas nazis assassinaram 15 mil judeus atirando-os vivos para os poços de uma mina em Donetsk. Também durante a ocupação nazi, vários grupos fascistas ucranianos colaboraram com as forças de Hitler no extermínio de civis polacos, sobretudo o movimento liderado por Stepan Bandera, que acabaria executado pelo KGB. Hoje, o filo-nazi Stepan Bandera é uma referência para os nacionalistas ucranianos, integrados nas forças armadas ucranianas. Entre os admiradores do antigo cabecilha do fascismo ucraniano está o líder da Associação de Ucranianos em Portugal, Pavlo Sadokha, com relações muito próximas com a Embaixada da Ucrânia em Portugal."
A imagem mostra um grupo de soldados em uniformes militares, em um cenário destruído, possivelmente após uma batalha. Eles estão em cima de uma estrutura de pedra, com uma estátua de um cavaleiro ao fundo. Os soldados estão erguendo uma bandeira vermelha, simbolizando uma vitória ou conquista. Alguns soldados seguram armas, como rifles e pistolas, e estão olhando para a bandeira com expressões de triunfo. O céu está nublado, e o fundo mostra uma cidade em ruínas, sugerindo um contexto de guerra. A imagem evoca um sentimento de heroísmo e vitória, com um forte contraste entre a bandeira vermelha e o cenário sombrio.

Mastodon und Calckey sind Teile des Fediverse.
Das Fediverse ist die gemeinsame Sache, Bestandteile sind dann eben z.B. Mastodon, als Twitter Clone oder Friendica als Facebook Clone etc.
Alle diese Instanzen, egal ob mit der "Oberfläche" Friendica, Mastodon oder das oben genannte Clackey können miteinander kommunizieren.
crossgolf_rebel - kostenlose Kwalitätsposts likes this.
hat das schon ganz gut zusammen gebracht @Sabinchen_1402@troet.cafe
Mit der Software wie du Mastodon, suchst du als user aus, wie sich das Netzwerk Fediverse nur für dich anfühlt. Du betrachtest alles eben durch diese Brille.
Ich habe mich für eine andere Software, in dem Fall Calckey entschieden. Und egal was du zum lesen und betrachten nimmst (Mastodon), erkennst du kaum was dein gegenüber für eine Software benutzt.
Deswegen ist es leider falsch, wenn alle immer nur von Mastodon schreiben, denn es sind in diesem Netzwerk über 150 andere Softwares beteiligt.
Mastodon stellt schon einen ordentlichen Brocken alleine, aber 50% aller Instanzen, laufen eben mit einer anderen Software.
Unsere Software kann usn das sogar grafisch darstellen, mit welchen Instanzen wir verbunden sind und welche Software die benutzen.
Dazu mache ich ab und zu Videos zum Aufklären wie das hier:
tube.tchncs.de/w/1Df28irduhzgJ…
Und wenn du dich jetzt wunderst, wieso ich hier schon 1500 zeichen geschrieben habe, das ist einer der Vorteile anderer Software im Fediverse, man kann auch lange Texte schreiben. 😉

The payment is for a hot dog combo, totaling $1.50, which is divided into four equal payments of $0.375 each, due on specific dates: January 5, January 19, February 2, and February 16. The payment schedule is displayed with checkmarks next to each date, indicating that all payments have been made. The post includes a caption that reads, "Finally I don’t have to pay for my hot dog combo all at once." The background of the post is black, and the text is white, with the Costco logo visible at the top of the payment schedule.
