Rule of thumb: if a company operating in a highly technical scientific space chooses to release its progress reports or results in an "exclusive" with a mainstream media outlet, rather than via a scientific journal, it's not a scientific company. It's a financial grift.

ITs History!
The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY

$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

“[w]e are able to gaze into the 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 face of a bronze age royal woman – and it 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 is a face to launch a thousand ships."

Yeah, truly, there is a modern #Greek saying, "a pus*y can tug a ship", so why not a thousand ships? A few bones found 75 years ago give us certainty about her face, and in spite of already having arthritis and dying in her 30s, she looked just like the girl in the picture 🙄

According to economist Richard D Wolff the notion of "Liberation Day" is white supremacist BS.
The US is to this day a colonial superpower. The notion that the US is "liberating itself" from China, Vietnam and other countries they are imposing tariffs on is total BS. Trump is manipulating his base into believing that the US a victim of unfair trading.
And that's just a small portion of what's wrong with Trump's tariffs.

Modern #TechStack|s are convenient but they also make #developers lazy and result in the #enfattening of #Software and #Games.

Nowadays we have shitty #WebApps that eat up 100+MB just for a #WebView and which are instantly useless once they don't have a high-speed, low latency internet connection!

  • People like #GraceHopper and #MargaretHamilton propably wouldn't even be mad, but just disappointed, knowing how a modern #IDE eats more computing power than the entire human race had at their career peaks...

And don't even get me started on all the #WastefulComputing aka. "#AI" #bs and #Shitcoin - #Scams!

#SUN-Microsystems, Inc. was co-founded 1982 by #AndyBerchtoldsheim and existed until #Oracle takeover 2010. The company developed #RISC computer #hardware , components, software like #JAVA, and contributed much more to the #opensource development than #Apple #computers.

My lesson came ~2012-2014, when the media company I worked for had decided to invest heavily in Google's office products (to replace MS Office). I dutifully learned all I could of their APIs, to convert Google documents (of all types) into HTML content for publication, with near-live updates.

Nice artworks over there and quite many users. TY for the invitation, but I can't provide tip 'n tricks when it comes to the latest #ADOBEy software. Dropped out when they launched the #CC scam.

Doesn't make sense to me help feeding their digital art machine with young and sometimes very talented noobs. Won't make it easier for them to get addicted to (very 1980s) old, quite expensive, and bad habits.
Think it's better if I encourage young artists to replace #DRM #IP #BS with #FreeSoftware like #Inkscape or #Krita, but that's just mho.

@rooftopjaxx @benda #BS is a gray lie, it was always planned to be a #dotcons and spoiler for the real #openweb move, in this it's very attractive to the current #mainstreaming so it is no surprise this twitter crew flocked to it, we need to make the real choice clearer to see, the #hashtag story can do this.
