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 👋)

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.

@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.

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!"

I am okay with disk encryption if the owner of the device enables it themselves and understands at least a little bit about it.

Microsoft enabling it on people's computers without their knowledge is really scummy.

I have full disk encryption on my ThinkPad laptop with Linux and I'm okay with that... because I set it up and I know about it.

#microsoft #encryption #linux #thinkpad

For whatever reason, I never thought of hiding my game's debug mode via a command line argument. It's brilliant because you need to know the exact argument to enable the debug mode and most people don't open programs via command line these days anyway.

If Washington does nothing except leave current tax, spending, and structural deficit policies in place, the publicly-held debt will grow by $102 trillion over the next 3 decades.

Someone put it on Hackernews and it got flagged/banned as well.
