the other 9/11
never forget september 11th 1973, in Chile when Salvador Allende’s democratically elected socialist government was overthrown in a US backed coup, replacing him with the neoliberal dictator Pinochet
The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as intended: funneling wealth upwards while the rest of us drown in debt and ill conceived Linkin Park reunions.

A police officer shot a protest photographer at the Disrupt Land Forces rally in Naarm (Melbourne) with a rubber bullet which resulted in him losing part of his ear and perforating an eardrum.

my guy, philosophy should shake you to your core and truly leave you stunned and amazed. philosophy at the level of a hobby is like a box of cheap party tricks.
when i hear you mention stoicism i want to hear you mention others like seneca, not just the pop philosophy names.
if you really think about it, having opinions and not having opinions are the same thing. this is why I hold every possible opinion at once, including and not including this one
I need an illustrator who can execute an idea I have involving Tux the penguin and the BSD daemon mascot. The illustration will be used as a logo on web pages and also on branding items like stickers and coffee mugs. This is a paid commission, please respond with rates and a portfolio link via Mastodon, LinkedIn, or email (hrpomeranz@gmail.com).
Before the reply people jump in, I specifically do not want to use generative AI or sites like UpWork. Both are extremely exploitive. I prefer to deal directly with human artists.
Santos works as a grape packer in Bakersfield CA. Freshly picked grapes have just been brought out to him for packing. Temperatures this week are supposed to be in the upper 90s and feels hotter under the vines. #WeFeedYou
Anniversary time! 🥂🎉
Exactly one year ago we published our Development Fund, which has since helped propell our project forward.
Big thank you to all who believe in the future of free, open-source projects like our game engine here.
When I'm president, I'm gonna institute Universal BASIC Income.
It'll be a stipend everyone gets, but it can only be used to purchase BASIC programming books or 8-bit computers.

LM-3 is a CADR emulator that runs the Lisp Machine OS as it was pre-Genera with some additions and fixes. Still being maintained.
Lambda Delta is a (sadly no longer developed) emulator for the LMI Lambda which also has the OS available.
Medley is a revived Interlisp-D. Still being maintained.
All three of them are readily available.

i loved making atari 2600 games, i really wanna get back into 6502 assembly.
atari games are all how you write your kernel--the core bit of code that repeats as the television scanline is being drawn.
traditional ways of writing an atari game speak of one, two, or three line kernels. ie, you repeat the kernel once every number of lines. the less lines, the greater the resolution--but also less time to do tricky things.
anyway the atari 2600 is a formidable console with excellent potential for one person to polish a game in about ~6 months work.
let me know what you think 🙏

Conan, 80% of stories are in frozen wastelands, the other 20% are desert wastelands.
Elric spends his time in desert wastelands, or ruined cities or dungeons.
There's *also* those being easy terrains to make and render in early 3D engines, it's still very hard to make a plausible jungle with dense foliage, too many polygons. Tundra is zero polygons, just ground deformation & texture mapping, almost free.
