Fascinating how so many people in the retrocomputing community seem butthurt about those new Commodore products.
Just don’t buy them if you don’t like it—but for the love of Jack Tramiel stop with the shit-flinging.
Don’t you want more people to join the hobby? See more modern games and software for old platforms? More spare parts and mods for both old hardware and new?
What’s with this weird gatekeeping?

Is it better to let people know when you see them doing something when others have done something similar previously?
I've found myself doing this a lot around live coding, on one level it seems helpful to know about prior art, and fun to talk about weird old projects/events. On the other it could be stifling to obsess over identifying the 'first' person to try something, and might feel like old people are trying to pitch their tents all over your garden.

I believe I have managed to prove my ID in order to comply with the new laws that say I have to prove my ID to own the business I own that I'm sure already asked me to prove my ID when I registered it.
First we tried the on-web version, but that apparently relies upon the corporates having managed to profile and track me, because it told me they had no questions upon which to base identification. Good I guess? My avoid-tracking systems must be working at least a bit?
Next we tried the android app, but apparently the phone I tried that with is too old and the app won't install.
So next option is turning up at a post office with a printed letter. I don't own a printer though, so had to have them post that to me.
Took the letter and a driving licence up to the post office today and "It's not going through" they said, pointing to a stalled progress bar on an android app on a tablet.
Um. Okay. So?
Just wait longer apparently. About ten minutes and it finally proceeded and the post office man took a photograph of me after asking me to disrobe of my robe, strip down to a teeshirt and jeans.
Not sure in what sense this has proven my ID any more than it was already proven to get the driving licence or company registration in the first place?
Apparently I now have government logins for "One Login" and for "government gateway" and they are not the same thing? But sort of are the same thing?
Can't say I really understand it. Expect they'll introduce a third government login when they do these Digital ID cards they're talking about.
God knows how I'm supposed to know which to use when the company tax records need updating in a few months.

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

Likely need significant maintenance over the years to prevent leaching and it's always hard for politicians to fix old instead of …

After working with WordPress’ new full site editor, I feel like I’m either losing touch with WordPress, or getting old. I found my self Googling how to do things far more often than I feel I should have. It’s a great feature, but it’s a whole new learning curve, and not intuitive enough.

Maybe this makes me sound old, but this trend of putting captions (worse: with the current word highlighted) on top of video data, as video data—especially on a platform that has a caption system, like YouTube—is really painful.

Watching the Once Upon a Time... intro hits me with how tiny and temporary my life is compared to the giant sweep of history.
The scenes of people through different ages make me wonder what any of us really mean in the big picture.
The vast flow of time shown reminds me that anarchism is the way forward to break free from repeating cycles of power.

In Little Tokyo, a five-block neighborhood east of downtown Los Angeles that is among the country’s largest Japanese American enclaves,
news often gets delivered and shared at the century-old koban.
It’s a community security office similar to those in Japan,
housed in a former police substation and named after a local hero from World War II.

Brian Kito stood on the sidewalk outside the koban Wednesday,

But now a noisy contingent of corporatist Republicans—call it the party’s Wall Street wing—is urging Congress to ignore all that and get back to the old-time religion: corporate giveaways, preferences for capital and deep cuts to social insurance.

Honestly, I want to be remembered as an anarcho-syndicalist who really cared about building solidarity and living a simpler, more meaningful life.
Not just some random three-year-old autistic gamer who spends way too many hours glued to the same video game.
Like, there’s more to me than that, you know?

I'm not old enough to remember -- but I'm old enough to have heard from people who remembered --
In labor & left demonstrations of the 1st half of the 20th century, a standard warning was "watch out for provocateurs."
And that was before they had all the polling data we have now, showing that public opinion turns toward nonviolent demonstrations & away from violent ones.

I took the old 1970's Raleigh out this morning and it was creaky and had problems shifting, but it was also sort of a fun ride!
I only did about 1.5 miles and when I got home I realized the tires were low... like a lot more low than I think they should have been since I filled them three days ago.
Anyway, I may try to make the ride a bit smoother and see if I can get the shifting working better.
