> Government says "you must use our money".

Actually not. Legal tender laws are extremely narrow and in essence meaningless. If we wanted to trade in gold or crypto, there's really nothing that stops us because it's considered a barter.

What makes people use the national currency, for the most part, is access to credit. Try to buy a house by borrowing gold...

>People who use CC licenses suddenly get angry when the CC is okay with AI training.

I get the whole lack of attribution thing, but unless you are licensing your work under a non-commercial license (which I don't seem many people do as it's not a libre license), you are already letting billionaires profit off of your work.

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!

“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.

Download link (Mac, Windows, Linux): snowemu.com
Documentation link: docs.snowemu.com
Source link: github.com/twvd/snow
Release announcement: emaculation.com/forum/viewtopi

(Edit: I'm not the author - just spotted this on the Emaculation forum and had to share it!)

(Edit #2: Snow's author, Thomas “twvd" has joined the Fediverse now! Give him a follow at @twvd 👋)

@Suiseiseki @aral The guy is a complete idiot. Truth Social does provide it's source code to both it's Mastodon and Soapbox forks. It's just that they don't put them in Git (or any other version control) repositories, only as downloadable ZIP files.

The GENIUS Act is not the end of the financial surveillance agenda. It’s the next phase. And anyone still clinging to the idea that regulated stablecoins are "better than CBDCs" needs to take a long, hard look at the fine print.

"You can use crypto as an asset for a loan, but ONLY if you use a centralized custodial, USA exchange" how about fuck off

@Dubbub I should've said shoot while still sitting on the bike instead of getting off and shooting from the side of the bike which does seem to be possible given that this existed before the Italian bike.

@adiz I mean that's the problem; nobody had a backup plan in the internet art sphere, nobody seemed to care because PayPal just works bro (everyone uses it), and most importantly, crypto is bad because some blue check on Twitter said it was.

Wait, what do you mean I can't use PayPal anymore?

Linux in 2025: Less Software, Less Features, Less Tested... & Slower

Big Tech & the major Linux foundations are driving Desktop Linux into the ditch. Plus: No "Linux Sucks" this year. That would be like kicking a crippled puppy.

@beardalaxy Not many people know how to deal with it either. I'm not trying to make it so that nobody can ever use it, that's impossible. I just don't want it to be accessed easily.
