Confession of an Amiga enthusiast back in the day: I always liked the black and white hires mode of the Atari ST, which to me looked slicker than even the original Macintosh. And I still love that "printed page" experience of environments like Medley Interlisp.

Yes, you can host Git bombs on Codeberg.

No, we are not fond of this idea.

We are currently looking into countermeasures to get Codeberg back on track.

@Codeberg Intentionally trying to disrupt Codeberg is seriously morally wrong imo.

I hate politics and I generally try to avoid positing about it for my own peace of mind. But it's nauseating to see how some people in the world refer to him as "president". He was as "president" and came to power as "democratically" as all those who sent their condolences including but not limited to:

  • Taliban (Afghanistan)
  • Putin (Russia)
  • Xi (China)
  • Bashar Asad (Syria)
  • Lebenan militia
  • Iraqi militia
  • Erdogan (Turkey)
  • Rafael Grossi (IAEA)

Decide for yourself!

At the end of Obama's term, he declassified some documents showing how USA orchestrated the coup. But still some major parts were blacked out. I imagine what they did is so severe that still after 70 years or so, they still don't have the guts to release the full documents of what they have done and what damage they have caused.

I'll leave this link here just in case other fedizens don't know what you were talking about:

Windows has traditionally included hidden media called Easter eggs. Many referenced the team working on a particular version. In 2002, Microsoft ended the practice via its Trustworthy Computing Initiative. In 2022, a 35-year-old Windows 1 Easter egg was found by @mswin_bat. 🤯

Roy on one of his many ledges. Looking out. And looking back at me. He's doing that cat thing where they pretend they aren't hurt but his front leg got tweaked. That's an occupational hazard for a cat this big. Something about physics and gravity and mass and decelerations sometimes just gangs up on him. But he's ok.

You get a hint of his size when he stands like that. Which he does a lot. Sometimes he tries to help me use the door knob if I'm being slow

The cat Roy looking out from window while sitting on window ledge. He's a tuxedo color scheme. Black and white.

Do you have a Panasonic NeoFile business card reader & PDA??

Do you also have the optional serial cable and NeoLink software? 💾

I’d love to play around with mine but the software isn’t archived and the serial port seems unique. 😫

Please share to help me find it! 🤞

#OTD in 1926.

C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien first meet in Oxford.

Both men served on the English faculty at Oxford University and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. The Inklings were literary enthusiasts who praised the value of narrative in fiction and encouraged the writing of fantasy.
