This was a trip down memory lane where I was totally unaware that you could embed 6502 assembly language inside AppleSoft BASIC code.
It turns you can, and even better: the Twitter bot named AppleIIBot could execute it too!
Though I bumped into AppleIIBot during winter 2021, I published the BBC equivalent last week (see BBC trip down memory lane – 8bitkick/BBCMicroBot: Runs your tweet on an 8-bit computer emulator) as that one got released earlier.
For the moment it is down because Elon blew up Twitter and shut down on 2022-11-05, but hopefully – like the BBC equivalent – it will resurface on a Mastodon instance somewhere in the future.
Luckily all old Tweets with code and rendering are still there, though you need a Twitter account to view them: Elon broke the feature of anonymous access seeing all messages in a thread.
Below the signature are the full Tweets that led me into it; the texts are these:

I wish Wordle would be more accessible, but alas after all this time it still isn’t.
Luckily there is [Wayback/Archive] wa11y.co: Wordle Accessibility
At the end of your Wordle game, click “Share” to copy your result then paste it below to generate descriptive text.
It is open source on GitHub at [Wayback/Archive] cariad/wa11y.co: Makes Wordle results accessible. (most of it is written in JavaScript)
I first bumped into it via:

Tegenwoordig kom je nog steeds taalgebruik tegen waarvan de huiveringen over je rug lopen.
Nu is taal voor mij als woordblinde autist sowieso altijd ingewikkeld, maar ik heb wel een aardig gevoel over het soort taal dat ik niet wil gebruiken.
Twee jaar terug kwam ik via Twitter deze twee onderwerpen tegen:

I reacted to a Dutch [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @NL_Wetenschap on Thread Reader App (which has an excellent Google translation [Wayback/Archive]).
The responses mentioned these two interesting English papers and a nice YouTube video:
I have first hand experience from my cancer treatment period where despite having a companion and emphatic care takers, I did not comprehend large parts of the information.
Two tips:
The rest of this post is in Dutch containing the original tweets:

Cool event – for me even relatively close (about 60 minutes driving) – [Wayback/Archive] The Global Delphi Summit taking place this year on June 13 and 14.
The speaker line-up is great as are their sessions. The main web-site pages are:
- The date: 13-14th of June
- The Entry-fee:
299,-, 249,- (early-bird discount until April 1st, normal price until June 7th)- Event duration: 10:00 – 18:00
- The location: Spinnekop 3, 1444 GN Purmerend, the Netherlands
The conference is marked as being in Amsterdam, but the location is actually at the [Wayback/Archive] H20 Esports Campus | Event Venue | Rabo Esports Stadium in Purmerend about 20km north of the Amsterdam city centre.
Via [Wayback/Archive] Delphi Summit 2024 – GDK Software
If you come from abroad, consider spending a few extra days. Purmerend has a nice old Dutch city center with roots going back as far as the 1100s. The map File:Waterland 1288.jpg – Wikimedia Commons shows it situated in between various lakes which in the 1600s all became land by pumping out the water and transforming them into polders. There are scenic routes over many of the dikes surrounding these polders.

I am publishing this in order of the Twitter bot Social bots appearing, though I found this one later than the Apple ][ equivalent:
[Wayback/Archive] 8bitkick/BBCMicroBot: Runs your tweet on an 8-bit computer emulator which is a GitHub repository with full source code.
The odd thing is that I bumped into it while performing a [Wayback/Archive] bot that reads unicode – Twitter Search / Twitter (I was looking for a bot responding to fancy Unicode in account names and messages that makes using Twitter for visually impaired a pain to use wich I covered in To make Twitter a better place for visually impaired: please do without those fancy Unicode letters in your account and messages – Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2022 – #a11y).
It made me find this thread stat started in spring 2022:
