The Leopards should be afraid, for without rules, Wildcats may eat their faces for a change.

In case you were wondering... My spouse is a school bus driver and these are the instructions drivers have received today.

🦨As promised, we've added a toggle that allows you to remove any lesbian content from the game, to keep all the anti-woke anti-DEI people happy. Here's a demonstration of it in action

Somebody asked me:

"Why bother with FPGA? Why don't you just use an emulator at that point?"

My view on modern #retrocomputing:

* Hardware will fail. If we are to preserve long-term, both emulation and gate level simulation are critical.

* FPGAs can implement things that are hard to implement in software, and vice versa.

* Improvements in one will positively affect the other.

I do not disrespect the nostalgia, but I have an unusual perspective on #retrocomputing:

I never stopped using any of this stuff, so for me, it's a continuum. I used all this stuff yesterday, I use it today, and I will use it tomorrow.

Snug little dude I happened upon while organizing. Still like how this illustration came out. :]

From a purely technical standpoint, based on RFC 2616, I reject the premise that this web page has been moved permanently. Really should be status code 302 or 307 with an Expires header set to "Sat, 20 Jan 2029 12:00:00 EST"

I double checked this, and was able to verify. All previously public links to content on #PrEP on the #CDC website no longer work. Perhaps there are new URLs? But at the moment, this seems to be the case. Apparently effective #HIV prevention is too #woke.

@hikari > the swedish krona is a currency that, allegedly, has a physical form‬ [citation needed]

I'm not entirely convinced the swedish krona is a real currency with an immaterial form either tbh, despite having allegedly converted my pound sterling into it on a few occasions

(I don't think the physical GBP is real either, they started putting some old bloke on the notes instead of Liz but at least some places still accept those faux notes and sometimes even coins)

it was so strange using euros for a few months those like tangibly exist and are sometimes the only thing that can be exchanged for goods and services

‪the swedish krona is a currency that, allegedly, has a physical form‬

withdrew cash and used it for a purchase just to feel something… haven't done this in years (in this country anyway)

Woke up this morning to an email security alert from PayPal claiming that they had stopped an 'unusual charge' against a credit card I have linked in my PayPal wallet (and which I use occasionally there).

The email indicated that I needed to use the PayPal app to get the details, but I don't use the app, so I logged in to the PayPal website instead. It too told me that I needed to use the app, which is just ridiculous since there is no reason the information cannot be made available in both places.

Out of caution I installed the app and logged in. In the app the warning says they "blocked several people from using <card number>", and that I should contact the card issuer to get a new card issued. There are no more details than that.

I find it hard to believe that any of this is real, since PayPal cannot 'block' charges on the card made outside of PayPal, and if the unusual charges were made inside of PayPal then PayPal themselves are the ones to handle it, not the card issuer. Most importantly, other users of PayPal aren't able to see the contents of my PayPal wallet unless PayPal themselves had a security breach.

Does anyone have a clue what all this means?
