@mos_8502 I'm building a variation on this one that ticks all the boxes for me:

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone pretty goated copy pasta
To the sigmas of Australia, I say that this goofy ahh government have been capping, not just now but for a long time. A few of you may remember when they said, 'There'll be no fanum tax under the government I lead.' They're capaholics. They're also yapaholics. They yap non-stop about how their cost-of-living measures are changing lives for all Australians. Just put the fries in the bag, lil bro.
They tell us that they're locked in on improving the housing situation in this country. They must have brain rot from watching too much Kai Cenat and forgot about their plans to ban social media for kids under 14. If that becomes law, you can 'forgor skull emoji' all about watching Duke Dennis or catching a dub with the bros on Fort. Chat, is this Prime Minister serious? Even though he's the Prime Minister of Australia, sometimes it feels like he's the CEO of Ohio. I would be taking an L if I did not mention the opps who want to cut WA's gyatts and services tax.
The decision voters will be making in a few months time will be between a mid government, a dog water opposition or a crossbench that will mog both of them. Though some of you cannot yet vote, I hope that, when you do, it will be in a more goated Australia for a government with more aura. Skibidi!
perfect execution. 10/10.
i am serious
@atlrvrse@translunar.academy @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone No it isn’t. This is Senator Fatima Payman on the Australian government attempting to ban social media for 14 and younger and trying to push that law through with creepy surveillance laws that will affect everyone. The speech was written by a 21 year old who said it was not language he would use earnestly outside of the chamber but that it was an intentionally ironic appeal to younger Australians utilising “brain rot” language. I think it was successful as it went viral and now more Australians than before know about the shit Labor and Liberals are pushing through government.
The "But will it scale" question never seems to be about scaling down to run on lower power hardware or by non-professionals, weird
Someday I want to full an IBM 5150 with expansion cards, all of which are powered by Raspberry Picos.
A pico men and pico gus are only the start
So one of my dream projects is to combine emscripten DOSBox with a multi-player server and some low-level game hacking to support it.
The basic idea is that I want a way to play DOS games in the browser, but with a hack to let it be networked pseudo-hotseat.
So you could play GORILLA.BAS in the browser with a friend. Or Scorched Earth with your discord channel.
Any other turn-based DOS games that'd be a good choice for this?
As long as Boeing is in the news, let me remind you...
Boeing's outgoing CEO will get a "golden parachute" worth as much as $45 million.
The CEO before him got $62 million on his way out the door.
America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
my whole life i struggled with attempting to communicate and be understood, never realising this strongly correlated with neurodivergence.
there's something at once liberating and cliched about it--there was nothing wrong with me this whole time??
it's a startling and refreshing development.
Osborne Computer was a pioneer in portable computing that talked too freely about an upcoming product, leading to a premature bankruptcy. But I felt the Osborne effect even beyond a single company's products in 1983. #retrocomputing https://dfarq.homeip.net/osborne-computers-bankruptcy-and-the-osborne-effect/
Today is @craigmaloney 's birthday. I've been looking at it in my calendar all week, with fondness and sadness. He would have been 53. He fought cancer for over two years before this lap around the sun was truncated on April 2. He was a huge part of my life while he was here. He has continued to be so through the ways he helped me, the friends and relationships I made and kept through him, and the experiences I would otherwise have missed if he had not introduced me to various concepts, groups, and spaces. He supported me in all I did.
I wanted to put something out into the world to honor him on his birthday. Craig encouraged everyone he knew to create and put things out into the world. Nothing was considered too insignificant to matter, everything counted. "The world" didn't have to mean at large, creating something for yourself in your personal world was more than enough. I am relearning how to knit, and today I knitted a new lace pattern in purple yarn. It doesn't look quite right, but it doesn't matter. I created it.
Today, I encourage you to do the same. Whether you knew Craig or not, create something and share it with someone. If you don't feel that you have anyone to share it with, share it with me. If someone shares something they created with you, give them support. Add something positive to the world. Create, share, and support.

After the Albanese led Labor government and capitalist news media used allegations of sexism to justify ousting the CFMEU leadership, the person they appointed to run it, Grahame McCulloch, has been forced to resign after making a string of sexist and sexual comments towards female union staff. McCulloch, a so-called leftist had previously blocked the NTEU from supporting BDS when he was their National Secretary.

Been really enjoying learning #Inkscape over the last few days as a replacement to what I used to do in Adobe Illustrator.
Definitely a powerful program for text and vector graphics. Now that I've got my way around it with shortcuts and the like, I won't ever open or pay for Adobe Illustrator again.
It's also ticking the boxes for the type of work I used to do in Adobe Photoshop in regards to graphic design and text layout work for posters and such.
#FOSS for the win!
If you have any misconceived idea about Australians having a right to peacefully protest, or that anti terrorism laws are for your protection, have another think.
