It’s interesting how the tone of the news reporting on NPR hasn’t changed one iota.
“Nonchalant” is how I would describe it.
“Today, Texas announced it is donating the land to build the first of many camps for the mass deportations.”
Ho hum. Just another normal day in America. Carry on.

many of you are big accounts, which leads me to conclude you are just searching for more attention. followers number up: yay! down: boo!
it is as if we suffer a cultural cringe here about the fediverse's supposed worthiness as a social communucation medium.
the fediverse is more than fit for the purpose... 🙄
I'm beginning to think that I should start writing programmers reference guides for each major API in VM/OS.
I wish I could use RustDocs for that purpose, but that would apply to the kernel implementation, and not serve as a reference for people looking to write application code.
@vertigo perhaps a silly question, but your terminal font is amazing! --what font is it? 🙏

With my rough idea I explored yesterday of what collapse-era computing might look like, what sort of OS would fit?
Most places who care should be able to build 1970s if not 1980s-era chips, maybe even 2000-era. If we can continue obtaining wafers, not guaranteed!
The biggest challenge would be designing large RAM, & other datastorage.
Keyboard input & audio output would probably be the most feasible I/O, with mice & vector-monitors being secondary.

nowadays tech just feels like a grift through and through. the link between the following two has been severed: money that comes along with tech, and tangible benefits to broader society.
iirc computers may have issued from the military in the boom period, but it took some decades for computers to fully transition from research novelty to money making machine.
everything is rented now, everything has a price. how can i spark people's interest in what kant might have called a "critical" approach to tech?
xmas, so much xmas.
