Ah, okay -- sorry, thought you were being dense.

I'm sorry, did you just unironically say "mouses"? -_-

I vastly, vastly prefer my Mighty Mouse to the Magic Mouse.

I'm a simple person. I see Daft Punk, I upvote.

Moment of silence for Play Music. YT Music isn't any less awful now than it was a decade ago.

Electron is horrid, but as a user, I prefer bloated "apps" to no support at all.
As for your second point: [1]

I do have some (surface-level) experience with GB/GBC assembly, but other than that I'm new. As for spell-checker, I've figured out how to rid myself of that. And the paper tape mix-up was just my inexperience.
All super interesting info!

What even is "vibe coding"? From the looks of it, it's just a prettier way of saying "using ChatGPT to make my program, poorly."

Double submission because I'm fighting with this laptop; I thought I deleted the old one, but I'm not sure.

I'm manually transcribing the AltairBASIC source released by Bill Gates for fun and preservation's sake. I'm starting out with ten lines a day, but I'll be increasing or decreasing that if I feel like I need to do less or more. Not to be taken too seriously; I'm just doing this for fun! I'm not a programmer, just a nubbin with too much free time.

I'm having a struggle with this computer, it loves to correct Altair to Alta and I keep forgetting to correct it. Whoops.

No AI or OCR here, just an idiot with too much free time. After seeing that the AltaBASIC source posted was a scan of paper tape, I thought having it in a digital document proper would be good for preservation and novelty's sake. I've never written Assembly, and I'm not a typography expert! Feel free to point and laugh at any silly mistakes. Let's see how many days it takes!
I'm manually transcribing the AltairBASIC source, ten lines a day starting today

Yeah, sorry about that. Having a nasty day and haven't had my meds thanks to the scam that is insurance. Gotta watch myself. Have a nice timezone.
