I think my favorite program in the entire linux/unix toolchain is "file". Did you even know about this program? It's on every system including MacOS and it's magic. You run it on any file and it just tells you what it is. Any file. I don't know who keeps this updated but it supports surprising things. Like it knows Windows file formats. If it's a executable it tells you if it's 32- or 64- bit. If it's an image it tells you the size and channels. If the file extension lies it just figures it out.

#Jortage — after Stripe shitcanned my account due to them no longer allowing donations on their platform (my account was in good standing, as it has been for years), all recurring donations are gone. Currently, we're receiving $340.47/mo out of the $340.47/mo we need to break even!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JORTAGE IS FULLY FUNDED!

UPDATE!

I have a solid lead … thanks for all the help!

Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen D. Cronin.

He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.

Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.

so uh

when the Maddie thing happened, LTT actually did follow up with an investigation

….by hiring a labor law firm, somehow concluding “no evidence“ and “not substantiated“ claims, posting these statements on their X™®© account without presenting anything to back it, and then threatening with a defamation suit
