okay so this is badass
one of my most cherished and irreplaceable retrocomputing devices is my peerless Roland SC-55.
while the MT-32 has been emulated quite well, the SC-55 always lagged behind in emulation - most attempts at it sounded pretty terrible, even using good soundfonts.
(and hauling around my SC-55 + midi & 3.5mm & usb cables just to play games in dosbox was painful)
in comes Nuked-SC55: it is a chip-level emulation project that just *nails* it.
it took about 30 seconds to build with cmake. i'm now going to try integrating it with dosbox, so i can finally play 90s DOS general midi games! (ultima viii pagan, here i come)
demo songs with the LCD screen (which is also accurately emulated!)

fwiw to compile (requires cmake):
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
@DutchBoomerMan @Paulyfrog64 @justnormalkorean @reloadedAK idk randbot can manage it.
it helps if you go to platforms where you can say nigger and get the word out.
it beats wageslaving for globohomo goldblattstein.
@fraying but I do not want to convince you to use it.
it's fine that you disagree with me!
that's why everyone can choose to install it or not.
to clarify: it interferes with GPS satellite signals. as in, it might mess up your GPS reception near it.
it doesn't go mess with the satellites themselves
when i had a credit card, it was impossible to resist spending with it, and quite easy to resist paying it down quickly. i knew how you're supposed to use a credit card, but i couldn't control myself.
i had no fear of future consequences, and later, i learned that i had #ADHD. being a bit blind to the future is a classic trait of that disorder. you're aware that the future exists, but you can't make yourself care. the future doesn't feel real, so it's easy to dismiss it.
it also makes it hard to work on long term goals. you can set them, but they are easy to dismiss when they become inconvenient, since the future is just hypothetical until it arrives. it's hard to plan and stay on track for a future that doesn't feel convincing to you.
apparently, Norwegian doctors have been prescribing Ozempic for obesity instead of diabetes like there's no tomorrow.
they're allowed to prescribe it for that, except they've been prescribing it "blue" instead of "white", meaning that the government covers most of the cost, which is not allowed unless it's for treating a serious illness.
for treating obesity, Ozempic is sold under the brand name Wegowy, and it's very expensive because the patient has to cover the full cost.
the estimated budget for Ozempic was 21 million NOK, but since 2019, the government spent 1.5 billion NOK on it.
it's not even all that good at treating obesity. better than other drugs on the market, yes, but it's much better at treating diabetes type 2, with weight loss as a possible side effect.
