I just flew across the country and hearing people cleaning planes only get $12-19/hr is WILD when every traveler pays several hundred or thousands of dollars to be past security.
Double their pay, at least. https://apnews.com/article/charlotte-airport-workers-strike-3a00ed15aedfdd8b5e2383feab53cb5a
weird teasing thought bouncing through the back of my brain about how the concept of "protocols, not platforms" could have, and should have, been applied more widely to society as an intervention to prevent the destruction of small-business by big-box capital.
i honestly prefer being working class over middle class. in some ways you're always imprinted with the class in which you were raised, but after my disability diagnosis in 2013, i have spent years-long stretches in poverty.

Libreboot recently added U-Boot as a payload option on x86_64 machines. The photos below show a ThinkPad X200 running U-Boot.
U-Boot provides a 64-bit UEFI environment. With it, I was able to successfully install and boot OpenBSD via UEFI method on a ThinkPad X200; the original vendor firmware doesn't do UEFI!
New Libreboot release coming soon. It's the free/opensource coreboot distro I maintain, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware.
My other coreboot distro will *also* be getting U-Boot.

ugh. picoLisp might be a small, simple system, but depending intimately on LLVM makes it virtualy impossible to compile on void :-(
A version of Missile Command for the Commodore 64 where the bottom of your screen is the game state in memory and missiles cause memory corruption, which eventually causes you to lose: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=135463.
In the video below, a missile broke my controls and caused my cursor to move down and to the left so I couldn't stop other missiles.
Now is the time I will commence working on reading and writing files on the VM/OS host system.
I know I said I would work on documentation and/or message passing at this point, but I think this is more important in the shorter term.
Basically, granting VM/OS the ability to read and write files now lets me write useful build-time tooling for VM/OS itself. For example, autodoc extractors, and example documentation validation tools, etc.
Unfortunately, this will involve synchronous calls into the emulator, I'm afraid, so use of tasks is extremely limited here. And you can't wait for results because there are no signals involved.
okay i have about 19 or 20 good looking and engaging game listings for a lil zine series about BASIC and retrocomputing!
every folder has:
- a screenshot
- a tape or disk image
- the listing in UTF-8
- the scans of the magazine from where the code was lifted
