From https://stallman.org/ :
Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.
Richard Stallman reveals he has cancer in the GNU 40 Hacker Meeting talk https://audio-video.gnu.org/video/gnu40/rms-gnu40.webm It's disheartening to hear the news. I sincerely hope for his speedy recovery and wish him all the best. He is a crucial figure in the current era of SaaS and cloud computing, especially with the abundance of unreliable AI generators controlled by big tech. It's a tough situation.
Mastodon is straight popping off the past few weeks! Loads of new sign-ups. Don't forget to do your introductions and tag them so they're easier to find!
@AnnieRat1 it's alright, it's unique. And if you post it on normie social media it will upset people 😄
After yesterday’s British-made Suzuki Swace, today we are going back to a far earlier connection between the British and Japanese motor industries with this 1935 Datsun Type 14. The design was said to have been inspired by the British Austin Seven, and this example was brought to the UK by a curious Herbert Austin. Later British car bosses were rather less attentive to the competitive challenge from Japan - to their cost. Pic #NationalMotorMuseum #Datsun #Nissan #WeirdCarMastodon #davidsdailycar
@AnnieRat1 I dig it.
@TechNews @morganeogerbc I'd just use the browser, why install an application to access something that can be run on the browser?
This is a very confusing act of vandalism. Why? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-66952980
@gamingonlinux WOW! I hadn't seen that game before, super impressive :)
@vidaextraretro Este juego me dejó boquiabierto cuando lo vi por primera vez. El movimiento era tan fluido que realmente parecía que el protagonista se movía como un humano, se sentía años por delante de cualquier otra cosa.
Also, this piece of trivia ... 😆
"In Stargate SG-1 and its spin-offs, Cheyenne Mountain houses "Stargate Command", a top-secret unit of the United States Air Force that uses the titular Stargate to explore other planets. In recognition of the series' close relationship with the real-life Air Force, there is now a broom closet in the real Cheyenne Mountain Complex called "Stargate Command"."
Unusual eBay item... this time a CRT
Sampo 9519 Tri-Screen 19” Color TV from 1981.
Odd thing here is that it has two additional 5" screens on the side
@CodingItWrong examples? :)
#ChatGPT is like the modern-day Apple features that the competition has had for a long time, released to the fanfare of a thousand trumpets and the clinking of champagne glasses.
@gamingonlinux what I really hope is that they are able to make enough of them to meet demand. But I am not super hopeful.
This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.
