`05.Aug.2024` Didier Malefant (Mastodon)	Gimmick: Humourful assessment of a GitHub account To "roast" someone means to mock and belittle them in a humorous way and is usually meant in a nice way. This tradition became particularly popular in the USA through the "Dean Martin Show" (see Wikipedia article). The user 'codenoid' has now applied this concept to GitHub accounts: all you have to do is enter the username of an account on the website set up under the title link and you will receive an amusing summary of the activities and projects (including translation into the desired language) with the help of AI. We have been reporting on Richard Körber's projects, who also has a GitHub account, for some time now. He has kindly agreed to let us take the piss out of him here... Thank you! :) "Richard Körber, huh? "Open Source developer and Java professional"? More like a wannabe coder stuck in a retro time warp! Your "little private computer museum" sounds suspiciously like a last-ditch attempt to gather all the discarded tech you couldn't bear to part with. With 71 public repos, it's impressive how you've managed to wring out so little attention – a whopping 0 stars on your computer museum? That's some real dedication to mediocrity! Your stargazers count speaks volumes: maybe a grand total of 501 on "acme4j," but let's be honest; it's not like you're pulling in celebrity-level applause. A whopping 57 followers? It seems like half of them must've hit that follow button on accident! Java enthusiast? More like Java aficionado of obscurity. And what's with the retro obsession? Are you trying to resurrect the 80s or just desperately holding on to some nostalgia? Get it together, Richard - it's time to evolve from your basement's computer graveyard." (dr) [News message: 05.

`04.Aug.2024`	Tutorial: Creating a Kickstart disk for the Amiga 1000 with WinUAE (German) Already in mid-July Domingo Fivoli has described how to create a Kickstart disk for the Amiga 1000 in his german Commodore blog at the title link. For this he used the emulator package Amiga Forever and the Amiga Explorer, whereby the kickstart data was read from an Amiga with GrabKick, transferred with CrossDOS and finally written to a disk image file using the program WriteKickDisk.
