The prospect of bringing up a child in this world is frightening.

Damnit. Now I need one.
Why did the JX fail? Perhaps selling a 64kb computer for $2115 while Commodore was rolling out a 128kb machine for $299 has something to do with it.

I’ve been looking forward to the #Analogue3D release. I found MVG’s review the most helpful and comprehensive. I think the overclocking feature has me most sold on this option over an HDMI modded 64.

I recently got a massive haul of vintage computers... that were mostly all moldy. Here's a short showing a few including a couple PS/2s (model 50z and 60). I really don't understand this considering they are not really corroded. Warning: nasty! youtube.com/shorts/XA0fG...

@nanoraptor.danamania.com I was non-ironically listening to Michael Bolton’s “Soul Provider” and it reminded me of Phil Schiller’s seminal album from the late 80s/early 90s (Apple of My Eye, I think?), but damn, it’s rare. I can’t find it anywhere.

Communicating With Others
Telecommunication networks and the internet have made communicating with people easier than ever, but have also made surveillance more prevalent. Without taking extra steps to protect your privacy, every phone call, text message, email, instant message, video and audio chat, and social media message could be vulnerable to eavesdroppers.

This is f-ing scary.
NEW: Cops in Texas told 404 Media in May they used Flock to find a woman who self-administered an abortion out of concern for her safety.
Documents now show police were conducting a “death investigation” and discussed whether they could charge her with a crime: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime
Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Born in 1934, Goodall loved wildlife from a very young age, so much so that her father once gave her a stuffed monkey doll that young Jane named Jubilee and kept for the rest of her life.
World-famous primatologist Jane Goodall dead at 91
Goodall’s immersive studies of chimpanzees in Africa redefined what it means to be human.
