Detroit Free Press reports -- ICE set up a fake university in Michigan. They got it on the DHS website. They solicited international students. They then arrested and deported the students because they were attending a fake university (these do exist and can be used to get green cards BUT...)

...they literally brought people to this country under false pretenses and then deported them.

I'm pretty satisfied with the speed of my inner interpreter but it could definitely be faster.

Transcribed the new boot logo to paper, and then to hex, and then into my code. The proportion of the C= turned out pretty well. The old one was much to narrow when 320x200 gets squished down to a square. #c64

Notewell, my cross-platform real-time inline-rendering no-browser markdown editor written declaratively in Haskell just hit 1.0!

@sushee "The logo was designed in 1957 by Elliot Hendrickson, Elliot re-worked the logo, incorporating letters which were hand-drawn for the purpose by Arthur Hover(?). The boxes were not all the same width, and there seemed to be no logic to which boxes were wider. The ‘g’ was the narrowest, and the ‘i’ and ‘l’ were second widest. Also, the two ‘i’s were not exactly the same shape. The boxes were not rectangles, but were very slightly tapered in weird ways." https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200712/ancient_history_the_digital_logo.html

Finally got 11 of the 13 REXes that I built working. I might be able to get the 12th one working, too. These are flash ROM boards for the #Tandy 100 portable computer. They allow you load multiple option ROM images onto flash and switch between them in software.

These taxes will be sold at Tandy Assembly next weekend.

AROS, FOSS reimplimentation of Amiga OS 3.1 plus improvements, is making the move from 32 bit to 64 bit
Give the alpha a look, and think about helping out if you have the skills or just evaluating

I think dithering is a criminally overlooked aspect of pixelated aesthetics (retro or not) and I wish it would be more appreciated. #ditherpunk

Watching people call out tech nerd culture is uplifting.

Watching tech nerd culture cancel itself is embarrassing.

Waiting for tech nerd culture to actually be fucking finally cancelled so we can move the fuck on is exhausting.

And I’m a fuckin’ white beardy dude saying this.
