Photo of an Atari Falcon running what looks like Minecraft. The image shows textured grassy blocks and hills near the player, and in the distance can be seen untextured blocks looking like stone and possible a little house.

Doug Little (dml) har just released a working build of "Minecraft"* for the 1992 Atari Falcon computer. You'll need 14MB RAM and an FPU, but if you have those you can run it on the real hardware from back in the day!

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

“It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke

Still better then kicking the poop out of the litter box.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Gaza residents are returning to north after the partial Israeli withdrawal.

Well worth it imho. Not too much work to set up, and it is then just something that runs in the background, grabbing things when available.

Torrents these days for me, depending on what you need.
Most tools like all the *arr tools support both though.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

Strongly recommend this thread from a friend of mine for explanations and nuance.

Tl;dr, Dismissed does NOT mean not guilty, it means the case was filed in the wrong jurisdiction.

When I said I wanted the old internet back, I didn’t mean petty little dictators throwing fits in their own forums and squabbling with posters.

Which one of you jerks wished on a monkey’s paw?

Cyberattack on Asahi Group paralyzed 30 factories in Japan and may lead to a shortage of the country’s most popular beer. Ransomware attack blocked the ordering/delivery systems of the brewer. Company switched to manual processing. Solution is clear: drink wine.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

That looks great!

The subject is a woman with dark hair and striking makeup, captured in a warm, inviting smile. The artwork features a sophisticated color scheme, with the woman's features standing out against a vibrant background, evoking a sense of glamour. Text on top says Duran Duran. Below that the cursive bold text RIO is partially overlaid on the woman's dark hair.

Just the cover of Duran Duran's Rio might be a good one :)

Post-punk more, but something that shows things were changing fast. Clashes of future and past, that sort of thing.

I'll look for something better :)

I think my taste would be a bit odd, but it was an amazing time

Cool idea. Personally it would be nice to see some UK music mags in there as well (TIME seems so 'american' to me).

1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025

In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest.

What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world.

She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

They probably have a whole 'the road to The Race' real life docu-drama idea ready.
