I did not know they offered this. Thanks for the heads up


I use bandcamp intermittently and have often wished that they offered a "subscription" feature like this, whereby they take a certain amount of money from me a month to put into my "bandcamp wallet" or whatever, that I can then use to buy music. I mean to spend a certain amount on music in bandcamp per month but life gets in the way and it falls off the radar. A model like this would definitely keep me more engaged


FIP and NTS are my goto's. The discovery features for shows on NTS and the "in focus" specials are great, so many good opportunities there for serendipitous listening. Will def check out radio paradise


FIP is broadcasting in FM in France, so no big news on that one, for me. But i will investigate NTS. I knew their radios streams, but it seems they also have some pretty niche podcasts !


I have so many questions. Why is the bread depressed? Why is it in space? Why is the soundtrack so cool?


The bread is the mascot of the TV channel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernd_das_Brot -- an article surprisingly full of gems such as this:

> The reason for Bernd's depression was revealed in the 85th episode of the series. In his telling: "[...] A long, long time ago I fell in love with a beautiful, slim baguette. She was so unbelievably charming and funny. But unfortunately, my affection was in vain. She only had eyes for this perfect stranger, a multigrain bread. It was so devastating. [...] My heart has been a dry clump of flour ever since."

Late at night (i.e. right now in the US), KiKA plays a "late night loop" starring Bernd.



I recently saw it used in the documentation a university department produces when they want to propose running a new program. I was agog.


From what I remember I had a decent amount of success copying games using a twin tape deck for my amstrad 464. I ended up passing on the amstrad to a colleague over a decade ago, who since moved to the US and is almost certainly on here. If you see this Jim, I found the manual!


As an educator, it seems to me that a lot of people here are missing the point that teaching and generating teaching materials are not the same thing. Teaching is actively engaging with the real live (possibly small) humans in the classroom, which includes asking them questions to make them think, promoting discussions, identifying misconceptions etc etc etc. Teaching materials are a resource that support teaching. They're not doing the teaching. The teacher is. OP has put together a nice tool to help them to generate new materials to support their teaching. Good on them!


Looks interesting, but it would be nice to be able to try it out (once even) without subscribing. The one token that seems to be available when you create an account disappears when you try to create an animation


Hi, sorry for your troubles. It should be possible to try for free, looks like I have a bug after you submit the drawing, but it should still be visible under "History"


Hmm, I don't see any free token. I agree that one free token is a good way to get interest going.


I'm getting the same. Free plan 0 tokens. New account.


Ah yes, so it is


Always a good idea to test full onboarding + purchase flow before posting.


Why? Test it in prod and let the users do QA is so much cheaper/faster. That’s just the trend


I thought this was an exclusively Hiberno twist, maybe not?


I found some of my first BASIC programs recently, written in 89/90 on an amstrad464. They're on cassette tape. I have a tape deck with line out, but I don't even know how to start trying to get data off an "audio" cassette tape these days?

The programs weren't fancy: one was for picking lotto numbers for my mam (the national lottery had recently launched in Ireland so it was a novelty.) Also I was 10.
