Another sister project added to the sites! Check out oneload64.github.io for the simplest, fastest Commodore 64 setup available! No more computer-specific knowledge required to run this as a MiSTer core or in an emulator — or with a flash cart on real C64 hardware!

Why would anyone butcher this movie like this?

Mostly just want to clean up the formatting, fix the demo map that got all warped on import, and MAYBE add some decoration to the inner pages

been busy w/ grieving Felicia, huge work project, and grad school stuff. Hoping to finish up Dirty Bomb Run sooner than later. Haven't really done much creative stuff recently.

I genuinely whole heartedly believe this, ever since I got cancer a while back my mentality with things were "I might not ever get a chance to make my stories real"

It stopped about being good or making it good, and quickly turned into "I need to do it now or else it just will never happen"

Failure to Launch A Tour of Ill-Fated Futures While history is written by the winners, the full story of humanity is built on the moments when things went completely sideways; the spectacular screw-ups, monumental mist...

not a bad reaction face tbh

i've been using random pics from a folder of old low resolution anime screenshots i've collected off discmaster2 for wallpapers. really enjoying some of the results when they get blown up and cropped

2 heltec v2 meshtastic board in small plastic cases. One has a small internal antenna and batter while the other has a big antenna and battery

And then put together this little duo for carrying around

It's got a bigger antenna now but mostly for mqtt and a kinda cool lookin office decoration

Breadboard with esp32s3 mcu and lora snap in and small oled screen

My first meshtastic device. I love how simple and cheap the hardware can be

Huge step in the wooden battery project today

PIONEER I said "I dreamt of a real wilderness untrodden by any human mind" and the monitors agreed that I had, that it was no longer untrodden, as I had dreamt it. They called me an explorer and pioneer said their minds had trod on its untouched soil with me, at the same time. They could see possibilities and, thanks to me, ways were under development to extract its riches and wealth. I told them "I don't want to dream, again." They answered "You have no choice. It is the path you chose from the ones we gave you."

Hi Fidel, @dragonslayerma.bsky.social and your wonderful #promptcombo #ClocksTicking. Here from my collection "The Spermbot Blues" is my fifth:

Things like ai trapping mazes, nightshade for poisoning images, dazzle camo for facial recognition, subaudible tones added to mp3s, would be good examples of actual Neo-Luddite tech.

Silicon Valley reinvention of existing industries, general enshittification, et al.

Thank you for asking

Not sure it has a set definition. I plan on writing something up for what it means to me. Luddites broke into factories to destroy new textile machines that devauled their work economically and socially. Neo-Luddites work against modern tech versions like big LLMs, monolithic internet ecosystems,

Modern games like Hades and Spelunky are descendants of Rogue and Nethack, terminal based, procedurally generated games.
You can play Nethack in your browser (or even via telnet!) here:

I highly recommend this book.

leaflet editor showing the text ## Tuesday September 9th, 2025 ## AT Toolbox I finished implementing the [constellation 🌌](https://constellation.microcosm.blue/) endpoints into shortcut actions. I'm pretty happy with them all. The /links/all endpoint is a bit awkward since it returns a dynamic object with the collections as the keys, and the keys of it as paths. So the shortcut version returns counts, a semi friendly way for shortcuts to view that info as Collection: com.my.collection, Path: .subject.uri as long with the JSON response. The hope there is it is enough they can get the collections and paths to know what to use on the other [constellation 🌌](https://constellation.microcosm.blue/) endpoints, and if they need it they do have the full response there. Here's an example of what a shortcut to see how many people have verified a user may look like then an image of a shortcut being built

Taking a page out of @bad-example.com 's book and going to try giving weekly updates on leaflet.pub a go. The goal is to write a daily retrospective on the previous day's work and publish weekly on Sunday-ish. Here's a sneak peak of what that will look like.

I'm going to put aside the weird feeling of seeing a saint born after I was, but since we know the guy was big on halo 2 there are now people who in 2004-2005 got fragged by a saint on xbox live

US tech companies enabled the surveillance and detention of hundreds of thousands in China U.S. technology firms such as IBM, Dell and Cisco largely designed and built China’s surveillance state, an AP investigation finds. The tech companies deny wrongdoing.

Are you aware of the technostructure that devours all your efforts to improve? In 1967, economist John Kenneth Galbraith published The New Industrial State. At a time marked by the rise of large businesses, he broke with the vision of cap

The gluttonous organization: Galbraith’s 1967 concept of the technostructure still applies today. Managers and experts don’t seek performance but stability, absorbing every efficiency gain into more reporting, procedures, and management. Efficiency never returns to work and feeds bureaucracy instead
