I took over a sub named r/****authority (censored to get around this sub's filter) but it has no posts apart from my own. I guess I could mention it in comments of a context appropiate post but that would get annoying fast. Desktop and iphone.
Hoping someone can help me with this. I have a lymic 514as monitor with manufacture date april 1994 on it. I got it to work with my amiga 500 but before I get the adapter to work with it I have an old windows pc with a vga input to test it. Windows xp does not auto detect the monitor to install the drivers. The power led on the monitor flashes. I'm desperately hoping it's because there is no video output and not if it's a possible power issue or anything else.

From what I know, it was used to access a service where you could download games but it didn't last for very long. As far as I know, there is no revival project for this service. Apart from maybe making prank calls or testing landline, voip or general modem reliability, what use does this modem offer in the modern day?.
My mother has a cat named Nina, who we had for over a decade at this point and I don't know about you, but I absolutely can not stand people who annoy their cats on purpose and just be a general dickhead to them. If they don't think it's ok to be a dickhead to another person then it shouldn't be any different. If you go over to r/cats or see some of the comments I've left you'll know what I mean.
I don't see Nina as a baby because she is an elderly adult, about 14 or so, so I treat her like one. If I reach out to pet her I always make sure she is in the mood before touching her, the only time I pick her up is if she wants to go outside, instead calling her to follow me. I know that a cat showing their belly doesn't mean they are ok with you petting them, it's not a "belly trap" or whatever garbage they come up with. I don't disturb her if she is sleeping. I talk to her in a normal voice and not a baby voice, which is, quite frankly, infantalizing as shit. I also talk to her in a soft voice as well because I take into account their sensitive hearing. I think naming your cats anything other than normal human names, especially food, is stupid, ridiculous, and quite frankly, infantalizing garbage.
In fact, I actually got concerned when my mother moved Nina's bed from my room into hers after she came back from the emergency vet for something to do with her leg. I think it's something to do with kidney disease, because I know cats don't like it when they have their shit moved around. I eventually figured out that this had nothing to do with Nina, it was a selfish reason of my mother only wanting to soothe herself because think about it, if Nina wanted to sleep with my mother, she could by jumping on her bed. Yet, she doesn't when I'm around. She sleeps on my coat in my room.
But yeah, is it just me or is there anyone else out there who can't stand people being general immature dickheads to their cats?.
I've been wanting to learn guitar since I was about 10 or 11. I started with one teacher who I think from memory lasted for about 1 lesson. I was around 10 or so and the only thing I can remember from that lesson was the first thing he told me was that I was holding the guitar the wrong way. My mother who took me there, took off after that despite me not wanting to. She took me to another teacher who I see to this day. I think his approach is fun, but flawed, at least to me.
For comparison, I've also been taking piano lessons since I was about 16 and I think the approach is much better as it's linear in a way that I work my way up through books going through different levels. My guitar teacher does no such thing, he only does whatever I want, as in, whatever song I want, regardless of level. Right now, I am doing some exercises beginner level, but unless I specifically tell him that I am sick of it and want to do something else, we usually go back over them every week. For comparison, my piano teacher knows how I'm performing and when I should proceed usually without my input.
I just feel that with guitar lessons I'm not actually progressing. I do think part of it is because I don't pick up the instrument often outside of lessons, as I feel I don't have much control over the strings I play, often hitting the e string instead of an a string or the wrong fret for example, which I know is eliminated over time, but it reduces my confidence and motivation. Just the other day I tried to pick up my bass to play a line I liked and instead of jamming out, I gave up trying after a few minutes after setting up. Whether I was playing too fast or whatever, the only person I can really rely on is my piano teacher who gives me proper advice. My guitar teacher doesn't explain or doesn't know know how to explain to me what approach to take. He also doesn't enforce practicing very much, only suggesting I should every so often.
It's gotten to the point where I actually tried to find my old guitar teacher where I only had one lesson with back when I was like 10 or something.
I just wonder, maybe it's both?. I quit guitar when I was about 14 or 15 because I knew it went nowhere and started over when I was about 19 or so, maybe 20. But every time I say to myself, I don't want to do this anymore, as the same time, I can never stop thinking about the instrument.
Just a short note, I am adhd and autistic, diagnosed about a month or so before my 20th birthday so you can probably imagine I don't have a lot of patience. To be fair, I don't practice a lot outside of my piano lessons either but I enjoy them a lot more because my teacher knows what she is doing while I don't think my guitar teacher is.
I would love to know once and for all.
I tried to use paypal pay in 4 this morning but it declined me. I have used pay in 4 solutions before, using afterpay for about 2 and a half years before closing it a few weeks ago because it doesn't allow for international purchases. It said I would get a message in the centre but the only message they gave me was no different to the article and wasn't specific to my decline reason. I read from other user in the comments of a similar thread that it would be 6 months. How long roughly would I have to wait before I can reapply?.
This is an earlier one from 2013 when abc2 ran from 7pm to I think from memory about 2am, then this would run for about 4 hours. I remember this one vaguely, as this video would've been taped about 2am after the last show finished. Later on in I think about 2015 or 2016 the schedule changed to finish at 3am and would have an overnight loop of it's own with triple j that played for about an hour before abruptly switching to abc kids loop with abc jazz, then it would come on about 5am, which they switched from the earlier 6am, as you can see in the video thumbnail.
Over on abc 3 it would for the most part run from 9pm to 6am. One night I remember instead of the overnight loop it would play episodes of grojband and each episode would play immediately after the last one. Sometimes it would also play rage and about 1am it would switch to a short abc news bulletin that would go for about a minute then switch to the overnight loop or just switch without the abc news bulletin.
The abc 3 overnight loop was unnerving and creepy, definitely, but it also helped me sleep as well. This was back when I was about 11 or 12 and back then I couldn't sleep without a radio but having the tv on worked. The music is engrained in my head permanently. Sometimes I would drop in and out of sleep with the loop playing and it would often be a saturday morning at my dad's old unit and me sleeping on the couch.
The abc2 loop was far more creepy in my opinion and did not help me sleep. I couldn't and still can't stand what plays on abc jazz and actually made me dislike the genre for a while. I remember the later one where abc2 would switch off about 3 and play it's own overnight loop for about hour before switching. This one on the video would happen at about 1am or 2am. I can still remember what I felt like at the time. I was watching in complete pitch black darkness with the only light coming from the tv. I felt a part of me sinking as I was watching this and it was just creepy and unnerving as hell. The abc 3 one was as well but that was a little better. It might seem like nothing to younger kids but this was a part of my childhood that creeped me out and probably you as well.
Rest in peace abc4kids and abc3. Screw you abc me, abc comedy or whatever the bloody hell you're all called now.
Specifically ones that have interbbs connectivity or internet services such as irc. The only ones I've found are sursum corda (sursum-corda.com:23) and penis (penisys.online:6502) but both of them are 80 columns only.
Owners of the c64, zx spectrum and amstrad cpc have the privelige of enjoying fastloaders but for atari computers that doesn't seem to be true as software would take roughly 10-15 minutes as opposed to the 4-5 minutes on the other home micros. I read that it might have to do with reliability?. I know how error prone the atari cassette recorders are as I used to have one myself.
I am not interested in modern solutions, such as an sd card solution, nor pirated/copied/cracked disks. I am someone who prefers to maintain original disks and original packaging as well as use authentic retro hardware, for authenticity. Please don't suggest to me to use modern solutions as I am not interested in them.
I want to use disks instead of cassettes for obvious reasons but after doing some research I found that some original ntsc disk games will fail copy protection on pal systems because of timing problems. I think this has to do with the video chip?. If I replace with a kawari would that make the copy protection pass on a pal system where under normal circumstances it would usually fail?.
This is not a guide for people to act like dickheads on a sub they got banned from. This is a guide for people who got unfairly banned from a sub they participated in by power tripping mods. If you got banned for acting like a dickhead, chances are you probably deserved it.
Title edit, tldr is 6th paragraph, not 4th.
You must think I would be a complete dickhead to make this public anywhere but it sucks to be banned from a sub that you like participating in because of power tripping mods, so this is directed at those people who complain just about that, but also from reddit for any bullshit reason. Also I am not sitewide ban evading as I deleted my previous account years ago. This is the only one I have and I see no point in having more than 1 active account.
The downside is that you'll need to delete your account for this to work, as simply using an alt while the account that was banned is still active will never work and you'll get yourself into further trouble.
If you get a sub ban, accept it and as far as how long you will keep that account, let it go, (let me explain) because of what I explained in the previous paragraph. On my previous account, I was temporaily sitebanned for 7 days for "harassment" aka talking shit about a sub that I was banned from. I didn't directly interact with them that time. Shortly after the ban expired, I deleted my account to get around reddit's bullshit violation system and created this one after that.
The steps are, if you are banned from a sub, accept it and move on. If you later decide that you want to continue participating in that sub, don't create or use an alt, instead, wait a few years, maybe 3 or 4 then clear out your profile, delete all posts and comments, either by hand, which is what I did, or use redact dev, then delete your account. Don't leave anything behind that they could use as evidence to trace you back. The waiting period is to "cool down" if you know what I mean. It means the mods can forget all about banning you and in the end, the only evidence they'll have is memory, as if they try to look you up they'll just get a "deleted". The longer the wait, the more effective.
You must delete your posts, comments, as well as your account so that no evidence is left behind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Maybe even overwrite them with redact dev first just to be sure.
Then, once you do all that, leave a comment in the sub you were banned from, say, 3 or 4 years earlier, on your new account and see what happens. I started leaving a good number of comments about a month or so ago on the sub I was banned from all those years ago on my previous account and my account is perfectly fine, at least as of posting this. If in the rare chance that a mod recognizes you and bans you, well shit, try again, delete your content, account, come back in 3 or 4 years and try again.
For sitebans, assuming it's a warning or two, a 3 day ban, 7 day ban than permanent, delete your account after the 7 day ban at the latest, that way you won't risk a permanent ban. I got my previous account all the way up to a 7 day ban as I said above, yet only a warning on this account.
TLDR read the 6th paragraph. This is only for the people who are really determined. If I had to choose, I would just simply move on since that wasn't exactly a sub I intended to participate regularly in, but if you really want to, at least you have an option.
I am using the vice emulator and have used copy 190 among others but whenever I start loading the tape the screen stays blank when it gets to the end of the cassette and doesn't stop, I loaded the cassette under normal means to get to the game but now I want to transfer it to disk. Is there something I'm doing wrong or are these programs buggered?.
I used to be on r/redditmodmoments until it got banned for violating the mod code of conduct, which is bollocks and is only there as a rule to suppress criticism against reddit mods. It's why I always insult the admins whenever I feel the need to. The rule exists because reddit mods are fucking leeches who cry and throw a tantrum to the admins to get their own way and the mentally retarded admins take their side every single time.
It's like someone on youtube abusing the copyright system because their wittle baby feewing gots hurt, well the reddit equivalent is reporting subs like these because the mods' wittle baby feewings got hurt because they saw a post where they rightly got dumped on.
The reddit admins temporarily banned me on my previous account which I had to delete to get around the bullshit sitewide ban system. I talked shit about a sub I was banned from, but I didn't even directly interact with them when I did. Some pussy mod was probably stalking my profile and found the part where I shit talked and went the reddit equivalent of "i'm telling on you".
They suppress people's rightful criticism of the mods, by banning subs like these, under the stupid excuse to prevent brigading, to which I have seen no evidence of. Subs like r/redditmodmoments might get banned but another one will always come back up because people deserve to have a free space to criticize reddit mods.
To the reddit admins, you are all mentally retarded enabling cunts that the mods leech off of and cry to whenever they get their wittle baby feewings hurt. Fuck you.
If you're wondering if I am site ban evading, I'm not, as I only maintain one active account at a time, I deleted my previous one after my temporary ban expired to get around the bullshit site ban system. Call it a much more effective form of site ban evasion.
Before you say no, there are few games I am interested in that I haven't found on disk or cartridge, that being warhawk and zybex, two shoot em up games. I've read about how painful tape loading is on the atari, mainly because unlike the c64, there is no fastloader on most commercial games, meaning you have to wait over double the time it usually does to load tapes on the c64.
I'm reading about how online services like compuserve, the source, genie, dow jones and others were like and from what I know they were mostly text based and compuserve specifically used a text format called vidtex. I was born well after the dial up era and have always wondered what they all look like and would love to see a bbs that tries to emulate the look and features of these online services. Compuserve especially. I know nina.chat has plans to revive compuserve but as far as I know that's mostly providing a server for the windows and mac clients. I suggested to them on their patreon to try and start by recreating the 1980s text only terminal only. So far they haven't responded to me yet. I would love to see this considering pretty much all atascii bbses are single user only.
