@foone the older retrocomputing folks who famously live super healthy lifestyles and are extremely fit and have perfect immune systems and don’t hang out in basements and dens all day long

Would love to attend a Vintage Computing Festival.

Alas, there's no masking requirement even in the middle of COVID surges; making it way to risky as my wife is severely immunocomprised (and I to a lesser extend).

The community is talking a big talk about being inclusive, but it's really not.

And yes, it's entirely doable to run events with mandatory masking, like XOXOFest did last month.

NYT saying mass deportations are an “affordable housing” strategy.

Please stop reading or subscribing to this piece of shit newspaper.

“But kids don’t get sick from COVID and if they do it’s mild, we don’t need masking or virtual classes!!!1! The economy!!1!!”

New research shows ~20% of children who get infected get long-term complications from it.

There’s no treatment. Society just chose to placate assholes at the expense of the health of children.

🌺 Don’t use AI-generated images for your blog posts, it makes them look cheap and icky 🌸

Have the media started yet to cover Trump being the oldest presidential candidate in history and being in extreme mental decline

A camera that you plug into your computer. Like the camera itself, not some puny cable.

Yes, the whole camera goes into the computer because it is a camera and PC card!

How many children will have to starve to death?

This is purely caused by Israel not letting enough aid in. It's willful and out of spite and it's breaking international law.

Meanwhile we've invited the asshole who's orchestrating this to speak at Congress.

Please contact your reps.

@amigalove but does it have an Amiga

@amigalove (and just after having been ordered to pay eighty million dollars for raping somebody)

Imagine Fox News if Biden would have been convicted of a felony related to election fraud

Who did it best

Oh no I have more

1980s: Personal computers! So you don't have to use a mainframe! Independence!

2000s: Web services! So you're dependent on a handful of mainframes! Annoying if one is offline, but you can still get stuff done.

2020s: AI! So you're dependent on a single mainframe that serves everyone world-wide! Too bad if it goes down.

Defaced some of my Stack Overflow answers again because the people who own that site are triple-A fartwaffles who are fucking over the community.

P.S. They smell bad.

They’re doubling down on victim blaming.

Seriously, bend over backwards and stick your head up your ass until you disppear.

To make something very clear after the dogpiling and death threats I got yesterday:

You have the right to disagree with and criticize my word choices or opinions.

You don’t have the right to make me listen to you or respond to you.

You absolutely, positively don’t have the right to stalk me after I withdraw consent of communication by blocking you, or to threaten my family or friends with violence or death. Fuck you if you do, or if you associate with those who do.
