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.

@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?
I got laid off today. Eek!

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.
Bonnie Freeman, Ian Freeman's wife shared an important post on X today:
"Please share this video with anyone who doesn’t understand the Ian Freeman case! Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation explains exactly what the government did to get him imprisoned and out of their hair for 8 years!"
Some news regarding the new fork of x11 known as Xlibre: Bryan Lunduke has a new video out about it being released and implemented on OpenMandriva.
Also Artix has testing iso's you can download that use xlibre by default.
