Microsoft banned Palestinians from its products because they called their families in Gaza on Skype.

I’ve met Palestinians who’ve lost their relatives in Israeli bombardments. People involved in Gaza humanitarian aid.

American corporations can cut them off from essential internet/communication services on a lark.

Ado is one year old today :3

My gratitude to all of you. There's been so much kindness and warmth. It has created friendships near and far. Furry might be frequently tied up in sexuality but it's also an enormous surface area for socializing.

Furry culture is one of extreme empathy. It's one that nurtures self-acceptance. It's one that has the conversation about mental health and neurodivergence.

Bottom line is I definitely love myself more year over year and Ado is a huge part of that :3.

Have nothing in your home that you do not
● know to be useful
● believe to be beautiful
● feel unaccountable vague fondness for
● can imagine a hypothetical situation in which you'd *really* need it
● firmly intend to get round to doing something with one of these days
● can't remove because of all the other junk piled on top of it
● feel guilty about not dealing with something more important first
● fear throwing away in case you remember tomorrow why you bought it
● miscellaneous

The increasing pressure from well-meaning people -- even on the left -- for "online age-verification" is in effect a call for censorship and further destruction of privacy.

They don't care, as long as they can claim to be protecting kids.

They think they can keep the totally predictable problems under control, but that shows contempt for history and what we already know about technology.

One example: eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/glob

Are consequences unintended if they're predictable? No.

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. One year earlier, the Stonewall Inn was marketed as “casual" and “crowded on weekends”.

Is your home lacking in glamour? Have you considered a complete set of glamour canisters or a matching biscuit barrel?

LittleFuse (Zilog's parent company) took the last orders for the #Z80 yesterday.

After 48 years of constant production, #Zilog will no longer produce the Z80 as LittleFuse is unable to keep producing the current Z84Cxxxx series using the 4-micron (4000 nm) CMOS process.

The legendary chip, designed by the legendary Federico Faggin in 1976 was largely responsible for the microcomputer revolution and is still beloved by electronics hobbyists today.

It had one hell of an impact! RIP Z80
