The arcade game Gorf is cool. But have you seen it's blockier sans-speech conversion for the Commodore VIC-20?

My experience of Gorf started here. I had it on cartridge and played the heck out of it as a kid. Great game.

(I forgot I'd left it on demo after capturing the gameplay, so recorded 2.5 hours of it looping through the demo! Enjoy.) 😊

The pagers that Hezbollah ordered came from Taiwan, and it was en route to Lebanon when Israel intercepted them. The explosives were implanted in the device's batteries along with a switch so that the explosion could be activated remotely.

Today in Lebanon/Syria, around 1530 (330 PM) local time, a message that appeared to come from the Hezbollah leadership arrived on the pagers. At that point, the pagers chirped/rang a few times and then exploded.​​​​

This is like something out of a spy movie, only more devious. It makes one wonder what kind of regime does things like this and what other things are they capable of, perhaps in the US or the EU? To their enemies or their ‘friends’?

The NYPD budget is $10.8 BILLION a year and about 4.1 million people file taxes in NYC each year. That comes out more than $2,600 per taxpayer per year to pay for the NYPD to murder black and brown people.


" It's time to stop and take stock of the fact that we're in the midst of the third delusional epoch of the tech industry. Yet, unlike cryptocurrency and the metaverse, everybody has joined the party and decided to burn money pursuing an unsustainable, unreliable, unprofitable, and environmentally-destructive boondoggle sold to customers and businesses as "artificial intelligence" that will "automate everything" without it ever having a path to do so.." #generativeai

if people don't have jobs, they don't have money and they can't buy things so a bunch of people have dire consequences and are the sacrifices and a bunch of companies go out of business

that seems like the inevitable outcome of companies rushing headlong into firing everyone

Every survey I get from every software vendor I use has multiple questions like "How critical do you think AI is to your business" and I wanna scream. I don't want fancy autocorrect in any product I use except my phone keyboard.

She's just mad because she keeps getting asked when the transition will be done.



I want to write a comment on lobste.rs. Do I have any followers who could invite me?
It’s about an article about #vi and that you can use “ciq” for change inside quotes and I tried it in #nvi on #openbsd and #vim on #Linux and it doesn’t work. Is that a plug-in?

Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg (1599–1655), Queen of #Sweden, is remembered for her troubled life as queen consort to King Gustavus Adolphus & for her deeply unstable behavior, particularly concerning her daughter, Christina. Maria Eleonora's reign as queen was marked by her desire to fulfill what was seen as her primary duty: producing a male heir for the Swedish throne. When she failed in this mission, it had profound consequences on both her mental state & her relationship with her daughter

Mozilla shuts down its Mastodon server to focus on Firefox and AI.

Mozilla’s been in zombie mode for years as Firefox’s marketshare declined and its primary source of revenue, Google paying for search defaults, is now at risk due to the antitrust trial.

It’s no time for distractions.

Well, this is utterly disastrous. We are now left without one single browser making that is not going either insane or evil.
