I'm starting to think mid-century cooking was a psy-op

How long before he rolls a couple of those big ugly dictator headshot carpets down the side of the building

I think we're in non-zero probability now

Nah that's just the both sides fallacy, but it sounds like you're operating from a US perspective, so I can see why you think this.

Reminder that Liberalism is also a right-wing ideology, it's just a bit more socially centrist than conservatism. You don't really have much of a left-wing voice in US politics at all, beyond a couple of politicians, I'm afraid.

Actual left wing politicians are guided by ideology to primarily benefit the greatest number of people with their policy.

Right wing politicians are guided by ideology to primarily benefit those holding the greatest amount of capital with their policy.

Pretty much everything else follows from that.

Right wing politicians operate on leverage.

These people gave them the keys in exchange for hearing what they wanted.

They no longer have leverage as far as the politician is concerned, so he's done telling them what they want to hear.

History repeats again

Coleco were more early 80s machines and I think MSX was more late 80s

Though you got me curious, so looking into it just now, they all use Z80 processors apparently! Which I guess is unsurprising given how successful it was in consoles in the 80s.

On the face of things, it looks like MSX has a bit more in the graphic capabilities department, but that's just me looking at a handful of screenshots, so take that with a pinch of salt

This is so cool! I think I'm going to try and grab one of these despite having very minimal exposure to MSX software

Anyone with a bit more of an idea got any recommendations?

What is extremely political to one person is just someone simply existing to another.

The term "no politics" in internet communities often actually means "only things that align with my politics". I've seen it over and over again for as long as I can remember

And a decade or so ago it was LOLCODE that had me mildly concerned for the wellbeing of my peers.

Nice bit of spicy Linus to start the day.

Good though, these dinosaur maintainers really need to wind their necks in. From what I've seen so far, Rust is the best tool for the job in the situations where it's been used. I struggle to see anything more from the detractors than a toddler tantrum about having to learn a new language—particularly given the current situation where they've been treated with kid gloves and are allowed to ignore it entirely.

Under what jurisdiction do they think that'll be possible?

You can connect to a server anywhere on the planet, the VPN doesn't need to have any legal presence in Italy. Hell, being in the EU means they can pay in their own currency and the VPN still has legally nothing to do with Italy

Regarding the DNS, I guess raspberry pi sales are about to get a boost in Italy

So, general strike time right?

Is there an extension of Betteridge's law of headlines for tech blogs?

If the title of a tech blog poses a problem, the solution is "the product I work on/sell"

 

It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.

Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.

Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now
