On the left: original #Acorn #Electron #Elite.

On the right: Electron Elite using the #BBCMicro sun code to show variable sized stars on the system chart.

Now I just have to hook this up to the solar system, so Electron Elite can finally have suns and fuel scooping...

Here's a video of the latest features in enhanced #Acorn #Electron #Elite:

* Proper disk access menu
* Military lasers
* Extended system descriptions (edible poets!)
* System search
* Planetary details (meridians/equators and craters)
* Fast, flicker-free graphics

It's looking good!

Enhanced Electron Elite is for the Acorn Electron with 16K sideways RAM. It uses the SRAM to speed things up, and I'm backporting faster code from the #BBCMicro and #C64 versions too.

The plan is to add as many cool features as I can: on the list are suns, lots of ship blueprints, Thargoids, a proper docking computer and more.

Showing the Elk some well-deserved love! Watch this space...

My new project is an all-singing, all-dancing version of #Elite on the #Acorn #Electron.

It's early days, but I'm really enjoying it. So here’s a thread about the wonderful community hardware and software I'm using to port #BBCMicro Elite to the Elk. (1/6)

#deltachat Desktop can now run on #Firefox and Safari, entirely avoiding #Electron and Chromium! It's an intended side-effect of the "porting Desktop to #Tauri" effort led by @treefit which aims to provide a non-Electron packaged version of the Desktop. Here is a video and deep dive into what's working on regular browsers now, and what's missing for a full Web version: https://delta.chat/en/2025-05-22-browser-edition

Tauri: Modern alternative to Electron: build native apps with web technologies but not as bloated .

Any #DataScience people here?

I have a huge #BeaconDB dataset here, recorded with #NeoStumbler.

I would like to play around with it a bit, display densities of radio devices on a map.

I know #QGis, is it reasonably easy to import a CSV file there, assign the coordinates to some columns etc?

Alternatively I know a bit of #R, but #RStudio is #Electron now, so that could get a hassle XD

Btw, there is a #Fedora #COPR for R-Cran packages, how is the situation on #NixOS?
