The concept of a door dash grandma should instantly turn any reasonable person into a socialist

This is only believable in the US, where many people haven't seen a doctor bc they don't have healthcare

@Atarallo_UY @samsoniuk It’s a booming cottage industry!

@samsoniuk There still are homebrew based on 680x0

fun fact: 68030 is 2 years older but will be fully supported on linux 7.x! 🤣

@MaxwellJadot @samsoniuk 68k also extremely friendly to home-brewers.

@samsoniuk Maybe I don’t know the retro scene as good as I should… but to my knowledge a lot more retro machines run the 680x0 series processors over the 486 … (Segas, Amigas, Ataris, old Macs etc …)

@dez_blanchfield @davepl1968 Pretty sure that’s what he really means?

@davepl1968 do NetBSD next please

FreeBSD runs on my VAX, baby.

@r_vonhagn @atrupar Better weather.

@atrupar What does Oregon have that Washington doesn’t have in abundance?

If there is a state with greater scenic beauty than Oregon, I haven’t seen it. Mountains, high desert, Pacific, Hood, Columbia, Portland — it’s just spectacular. I don’t want to spoil anything for residents, but it’s a truly underrated state. I’m lucky to have married into it.

IDGAF, this is one of the greatest bands ever to exist

@PaulStoffregen @sdf_pubnix Well, this means I should soon have an unlimited supply of 68010s for my silly Unix homebrew projects.

Ted Fried, aka MicroCore Labs, is back with another Teensy-based drop-in CPU emulator, this time for the 16/32-bit Motorola 68000, as seen here running on an original Macintosh 512K motherboard pjrc.com/mcl68-68000-em…

@Angry_Staffer @FCBRSL @1stOrderOfChaos Every single piece of shit who voted for him. They turned us all into the baddies.

@FCBRSL @1stOrderOfChaos To the entire country? I don’t think so.

1. Americans shouldn’t root for the US to lose. It’s like rooting for your plane to crash. 2. People shouldn’t celebrate returning to worse than the status quo like it’s an accomplishment. It’s like losing steak for a shit sandwich. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@SourdeathSam @sfchronicle Closure of the original location was the beginning of the end.

@sfchronicle Seems unnecessary and a classic private equity move to strip the personality and soul of a business, let alone one that rooted itself in SF.

Philz Coffee, a San Francisco-born coffee chain, will remove Pride flags from all of its locations, the company said Wednesday, after an online petition criticizing the move spread rapidly on social media. sfchronicle.com/food/restauran…

Fuck Philz right in the ear.

As a Hungarian friend just put it to me, voting for Péter Magyar is now not just about getting rid of Orban, but about humiliating Vance.

I wish I had even a hint of hope that our leaders might flinch at slaughtering these people in full view of the world

@rohindhar Not surprising. It’s 1 block away from transit, easy walk for grocery shopping, close to Inner Funset farmer’s market, restaurants, and GGP.

San Francisco home sale in the inner sunset / golden gate heights neighborhood at $1.844MM over asking price

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's really an indictment not just of the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king.

Telling everyone how impressive my first gay bareback orgy was

@sdf_pubnix Cannot smash LIKE enough! ❤️

We’re DEC fans, but the 3B2 played an important part of SDF’s history in the early days. Here is an original model 300 SBD. We offer remote access to a 1000-70 #unix #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing icm.museum

@SnazzyLabs It’s the same reason I build my own tube preamps and power amps. It’s the same reason I build homebrew computers from ancient CPUs.

My dad laughed when I began collecting vinyl records 20 years ago. He didn’t understand why I wanted an inferior, expensive, dated media format—one he was glad to have ditched. Now I’m that way seeing kids using old iPods. Makes no sense. They’re worse than phones in every way.

@davepl1968 Nailed it.

I'm writing a Dave's Garage episode on why new computers are slower than old ones (spoiler alert: it's the software). After enjoying my obligatory photo of counting 6502 cycles like it was the olden days, let me know what you think is the biggest factor in why current code is so much slower than old code. Here are my basic premises so far: - We lost the hardware constraints that kept us honest - No enforced CPU/RAM budgets, no daily benchmarks - Abstractions without accounting for their costs - Incentives shifted towards feature release speed - Lowered perf standards, where "it works" is enough - Dependency explosions in code - AI is also a multiplier of mediocrity What am I missing?
