I'm still trying to understand what Renee Nicole Good did to deserve what is effectively a summary execution.
Needless and senseless violence. That served no interest.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

Trying to coax good output from a 40+ year old, low-end thermal printer. The thumbnail is bad - expand it to see the full image.
This started as a color JPG that was made grayscale, resized, dithered, then converted to the printer codes. (I wrote everything except the rescaling.)

when do we stop blaming everything on “generations” and accept that all kinds of people are born all the time... “Gen X are the new boomers” “Millennials are the new boomers” “Gen Z are the new boomers” this isn’t useful. it’s just ragebait taking advantage of intergenerational trauma.

I'll be showing DOS networking with mTCP and helping people debug networking on their machines or get setup for the first time. It's an exhibit and a clinic!

Pinball used to be seen as a game of chance, like slot machines.
In 1976 Roger Sharpe called a shot on a pinball machine during a hearing in Manhattan, New York City. After that the council unanimously approved lifting a ban on pinball.
