It's strange that Drew DeVault has been mysteriously offline for the past couple of days while the Stallman-Report.org hit piece was online.

Drew DeVault Behind Stallman-Report.org Hit Piece
Some mild DNS sleuthing has revealed the "anonymous" author of the attack on Richard Stallman.
@crunklord420 Option D: Secretly payed by Big Tech to destroy FOSS projects by creating pointless drama.

Do you use a feed reader (for RSS or Atom)?

@tinosoft @lina @RedTechEngineer If you count Gen-Z as someone being born in the mid to late 90s, then at least the early part of it experienced Windows XP. My youngest sibling was born in 2003 and even he used Windows XP as our family was using it up until 2010 when we finally got a Windows 7 computer.
@cajax @lina I don't think there's that much to be recycled and retro-computers need more proper care than, say, retro-consoles. Though if you look at Craigslist, you do see a lot of schools selling off their old, 2009 computers. I have no idea who's buying them. You can easily run most PC games from that era just fine on a modern computer, unlike games made for old Macs.
@cajax @lina They seriously couldn't just emulate?
My Dad used to work as a math teacher for a public school. He somehow kept all of the old Macs they used, but he noticed that some of the kids were surprisingly retro computer enthusiasts so he gave them away. Someone was able to install MacOSX Tiger on one of them and I didn't even know that was possible.
@cajax @lina The public school system I went to was still using Windows 2000 computers up until 2012. Granted, it was just one per classroom and it was always paired with a Windows XP computer, but they were there because they still worked with most websites at the time which is what most people used them for.
@lina @RedTechEngineer I continued to see people using Windows XP well into the mid-2010s. The last time I saw someone use it was at an emissions test center, a few years ago.

EU’s Digital ID Push Sparks Fears Over Privacy and Rushed Rollout

I'm wondering what is the motivation behind the archive.org DDoS. Is it some company (or group of companies) not wanting the Internet Archive to redistribute their work or is it someone who doesn't want their digital footprint archived?

Added a trap door to prevent the player from escaping the boss fight. It's currently using the regular door sprite as a placeholder. The final sprite won't have a keyhole.

@BigDawg869789 I don't even know what that is, but that cover art looks AI generated.

@djsumdog Realistically human-looking robots have an uncanny valley look to them and I don't think that is going to change anytime soon.

They'll either push for digital+biometic ID or some obscene Xitter digital identification. Part of it will be to appease/fit-into the scheme many states are employing for adult website verification.
There is no need for any new system. Just verify the fucking plastic drivers licenses we already have. All you have to do is enforce the existing system.
But all the Trumptards will jump onto this shiny new system that rips away all privacy because "illegals" and "voting"

Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware.
