I’ve just been informed that not permitting scientific misinformation on my feed, including claims that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne HIV, is “tone policing”.
It’s actually fact-checking. I don’t give a shit who is posting misinformation or why. Zero tolerance.

So many things in retro I want to do:
- Play with the MC14500B
- Finally finish my Z180 build and play with that
- Get my C64U and put up a series of asm programming tutorials on PeerTube and YouTube
- After Stallman finally fucking dies, maybe get back to improving GNUstep
- Play with the MC14500B
- Finally finish my Z180 build and play with that

Outside of our childhood spheres, the 80s were straight-up dogshit when you actually look at the history, what with Thatcherism thoroughly dismantling everything to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and we're still suffering from it today.

lol I was a 2000's kid.
I have so many good memories of the decade, but I also have come to realize a lot of that was because I was a kid who was very much isolated from the worst of the world (even lucky enough to skimp around the '08 recession, something a lot of families couldn't achieve).

Of course it feels like the 90s were better, you were 12. Most of us had no responsibilities, few worries, and relatively lots of free time. We were actively expected to spend time playing. Of course it seems like it was better

90s Daytime TV in the US literally led to the fascism we are grappling with now. Breeding ground of reactionary right wing thought that reinforced stereotypes and cheered on hate, and like right-wing rage bait today, was mostly completely fake.

I think it’s just - like I think back to those times and it’s like yeah I miss renting games and just flat out owning something if I bought it too, or that sense of discovery when playing these games for the first time…
… I also don’t miss the virulent homophobia and transphobia and other shit.

People conflate "I was a child" with "the world was better" all the damn time and it's embarrassing.

Thinking back to some of the nostalgiaslop I've read this year about the 90s being an oasis of peace and calm in what people did and enjoyed without social media; are they trying to gaslight people into forgetting that stuff like Jerry Springer existed, where millions of people tuned...

I don't mind a bit of lighthearted CEO behaviour, as long as the fundamentals of the way the company is run are sound. Which is still to be seen in the case of Commodore. But the fandom? Yecch.
Some of the stuff coming from the Perifractic stans is... interesting shall we say.
Sidebar: And a "serious company" CEO who signs off official company communications as Peri Fractic rather than as his actual name? Doesn't exactly make me trust them.

Sloppers have no more place in retro than do bigots and prudes. We don't need AI-generated booth babes.
And, as luck would have it, my phone suggests a Commodore YouTube channel to watch of which I'm not a subscriber.
The gaudy thumbnail confirms that Commodore fans are really not ok.

As a Commodore fan, and customer of the new Commodore, this is easily the single worst idea anyone has had for the new company.
Are... are Commodore fans ok?
This is one of the worst ideas I have ever had the misfortune to read.

There. Now you have something to connect the serial port on your #RC2014 type thing, so it can talk to the terminal baked into this board. VT-100 with colour, basically.

The right-wing in America got everything they wanted. The Presidency, The House, The Senate and deporting people by the thousands. And yet they’re still angry and miserable. It’s almost as if all the things they said were the problem, weren’t actually the problem.

I'm not, like, super into Hazbin Hotel, I just think it's a neat little cartoon that takes a funny, rude approach to preaching really very wholesome values like forgiveness and redemption and fighting oppressive systems. Songs are pretty good too.
