The "Book386" (a Hand386 in the Book8088 case) that I've long wanted was just released (called the Pocket 386)! https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805356267711.html

Affinity has been bought by Canva, to compete with Adobe.
It was of course a matter of time before Affinity would outgrow its status of sympathetic small-scale Adobe alternative, and be sold for large proceeds.
Canva is into AI. Hopefully Affinity will get some useful AI-powered image processing tools, like upscalers and denoisers, but Canva will probably add generative shit and introduce subscriptions sooner or later.

I spent the last week scraping through a terabyte of GeoCities archives and collecting ALL THE #88x31 buttons! In the end, I gathered 29257 unique buttons (75k with duplicates). They are available at https://hellnet.work/8831/
Check them out!
I also have the dataset (~160MB), stats and a bit about the scraping process here: https://hellnet.work/8831/stats.html
@bageler honestly, i didn’t catch this but you’re right looking at the article again - not as concerning as the article frames it to be. i def don’t think “all ai bad” but i am definitely concerned with who owns and controls it, and empathize with the workers at risk from it. nuance always
i only recently learned how devastating the impact of current ai training is on the environment. this in addition to every other horrible present thing about it

really gross how debased political journalism is when dealing with any candidate left of liberalism. i saw this in an article the other day, feeling disappointed and let down as a supported of hers, only to fact check just now and see nothing on marianne’s website suggesting support for israel, but a lot of her calling for ceasefire and pointing out the immorality of israel’s actions against gaza
