Now leader singer of Styx as well. I hope I can see them before they all retire, missed seeing Gowan doing his solo material when I was younger…

Beat me to it. Anand Giridharadas has spoken on the general scam of billionaires white-washing their legacies like this… their philanthropy seldom approaches, much less exceeds, the harm they did in getting so rich in the first place.

Still love my Acer Aspire v151, core i5. 11" is a great size, just big enough for a standard keyboard. I wish they would have updated models like that. A Ryzen 9 version would kick ass.

Countdown until Krasnov EOs it to be revoked, forgetting he was the one who signed it into law? Would not surprise me one iota.

TL;DR (but I did read it) - this wasn’t an attempt to ‘rig’ the election or confuse voters. It was done as a rather clever protest of our flawed electoral system and the need for electoral reform. It would be patently obvious all of the other 87 or so names on the ballot were all protest entries and would only take a person about 10 seconds to find PP’s name or the few others with official parties on there.

C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.

Damn, I wish someone would make a 68k based version of this.

It all went downhill since Flash officially died

The IA needs to relocate out of the US, now. The EU and Canada should be convinced to fund them.

I’ve donated to them and am willing to do so again, but I’d like it to be after they show they have a concrete exit plan.

None More Black, Hotblack Desiato’s preferred fowl.

Damn, that should be a poster on every street corner down there in the US. (And probably up here in Canada too, leading to the election).

I saw them at a coffee shop in Field, BC a few years ago and asked the owner about them, as I thought at first they were maybe pasta or some kind of starch-based bioplastic (the holder was just labelled ‘biodegradable straws’); they felt just like a good sturdy plastic straw. The ones I saw were translucent beige, but websites I find them on show opaque green straws so I don’t know what the difference is there.

Why hemp straws aren’t everywhere baffles me, they’re perfect replacements.

It may become the duty of every software engineer at this time to offer their services to those who need security, to make custom solutions for those who require it.

Cypherpunks, arise!

You’re such a cute chocolate bunny!

Now who’s that glum one on the left?

:) So far at least, they’ve done good for me. I hope they stay that way, it’s nice to have a tech store that seems to deal in decent stuff.

Help Canada ship its LNG to the East coast and it’s yours, EU.

Memory Express in Western Canada.

I like her podcast, “The Gargle”… yeah probably a prudent decision on her part.

Good questions, and important that we crowdsource verification of this. I saw some other posts on bsky that other people have received these emails, suggesting it is not a single instance. Implication is that it’s a new automated effort, perhaps “by AI”, to intimidate people en masse. But it could be fake, so the more examining it, the better.

EDIT: Link here to a thread, indicating others have received these emails: https://bsky.app/profile/reichlinmelnick.bsky.social/post/3lmljpkrdj22h

I was trying to sound the alert that this might be a thing – BUT if it turns out to be fake, please by all means shout to the hilltops that it is bunk.
