The Atari STacy! Released in 1989, this portable ST has a pretty swish form factor when compared to it's nearest rival, the Mac Portable - and built-in MIDI!
It was originally intended to run on batteries but they had such poor lifespan that Atari gave up and glued shut the compartment.

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published
I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

NCMEC isn't just about missing kids, they run a hash sharing platform so social media companies can share hashes of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and do proactive take downs of content once it's been identified.
Defunding NCMEC will encourage the spread of CSAM online.
Evil, evil shit.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

As something completely symbolic and free of charge you can adopt a pinguin as part of a awareness-raising campaign of our army destined to a base in the Antarctic.
One of our colleagues adopted one for our studio, so we want to introduce to the world our penguin: "Penitencio"!

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.
There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

At some point Logitech started bundling GPT software with their mouse software. I found this out because it was causing MASSIVE system instability on my machine. They silently rolled this stuff out and it's not only something I didn't need or want, but it's actively harming my system.
