I think [email protected] would be more appropriate for this post, but I already posted there 2 days ago with no answer.

This is the chart of the votes for the latest posts on [email protected].

This may be just a coincidence, but I find a bit weird that the votes went down to almost zero exactly when lemm.ee[^1] and feddit.de[^2] upgraded to v0.19.

EDIT: From a comment by @[email protected] in the original post:

I’m getting a LemmyAPIException when I try to upvote since yesterday. Now I notice I’m getting the same error when I try to post from the app.

EDIT-2: Another comment by @[email protected]:

the question then becomes when the last post was made to apocalyptic art. From my quick glance it was 4 days ago on the lemmy.ml mirror, which seems behind the most recent posts on the actual community. Lemmy.ml is on the newest version.

So my guess is that there’s some general federation issue, possibly on the feddit.de end, which is causing some things to get dropped.

(low-res) video: SQUID Device from Strange Days - YouTube

This is the actual hero prop used in the movie. The 'face plate' was interchangeable to make it look like several different units throughout the film. I made this video just to show that it still functions and what the prop actually does when turned on. (Which isn't much, some LEDs come on and the disc inside spins up...)

AFAIK, they are used as relays.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit

Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

The Dungeon, 14″ x 11″ watercolor Pencil and Chalk on Toned Paper

The author Shawn Speakman has an  wonderful epic new novel out, The King-Killing-Queen, the first in a new series of fantasy stories for him. I had the privilege to illustrate the work with nine interior illustrations and a full color plate (which I have shared recently on MuddyColors. )

I agree, this one is a bit out of period, but I still get some 80s vibes like those handheld videogames:

From the video description:

Ever hear that the neutral zone in Yars' Revenge uses the game's code for its graphics? How does it work, and is it possible to reverse engineer that code just from playing the game? It's all explained right here.

宝可梦图鉴的设计,在细节上有借鉴过其他艺术家的设计以及官方设计图,很遗憾的是没有对屏幕内UI做设计处理(偷懒)

The design of the Pokémon Pokédex draws on the designs of other artists and official design drawings in terms of details. Unfortunately, there is no design processing for the on-screen UI (lazy)
