We are back! #C64 www.commodore.net The first official Commodore 64 in over 30 years is here - a faithful recreation of the original motherboard on FPGA hardware. HDMI, WiFi, USB, but compatible with every existing cartridge and peripheral. Not an emulator - a recreation. Same price as my first $299

This @cwodtke.bsky.social piece is great — technically fluent, well-sourced, doesn’t mince words about the lies & bullshit from the companies making this stuff. I’m not personally as conciliatory about some of the capabilities promised, but it’s well worth a read. cwodtke.medium.com/i-love-gener...

I wanna say something to people who work in tech-related jobs in America: this is still a field where most people hate the rise of fascism and want to stop it. I know the media & amplification of the tycoons makes it seem like that’s the whole industry. But it’s not. And we still have power.
