⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️
If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.
I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.
Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket

anyway. the Donkey Kong Bananza Category Extensions on SRC includes a category called “Banana Peeling”. the current first‐place record is 1.115 seconds.
The game I enjoyed the most in my childhood stopped working on Windows 2000.
Now, 25 years later, it is finally time for me to fix it, preserving the game for future generations.
This is the first part of a series of articles, where I dig into Windows internals, split the light, and eventually learn how to program in Lingo.

even if the movie fantasy of being able to steal and field-strip an attacker's gun is highly unlikely for 99% of gun varieties, knowing what a shooter needs to do in order to use his gun is useful for knowing how to prevent them from doing so, how to make a gun (relatively) safe.
If the worst of the worst of the worst happens, knowing how to fire said gun may be useful, but more important than that IMO is knowing how to *stop* said gun from firing and endangering anyone else.
a reminder, to those who live in a nation where firearm ownership is commonplace - even if you have no intention of owning a gun or having one near you for any reason, it is important to understand guns. in the united states, if you do not know how to operate a gun, it is statistically likely the person next to you does.
even if you will never pull the trigger, at least learn how to unload a gun. completely. on most kinds, it's more than just dropping the magazine.

Someone released their game on a hundred and thirteen vintage platforms in less than a month:
