For me, right to to repair isn't just about ewaste, and preventing corporate gouging.

It's about mental health. Being able to fix your gadgets is therapeutic. Empowering. Good for the soul.

In a world full of complex technology it's easy to feel small and helpless. And maybe I'm too much of an idealist, but I think that if everyone could experience the joy of fixing or modifying a gadget now and then we'd all be a little more open minded, a little more daring. A little harder to push around.

@gpowerf @polychrome Morpheus didn't know why they needed humans, but he couldn't admit it - so he made up the power source story.

The Stunt Car Racer manual is now available on HOL: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/stunt-car-racer#manuals
Interestingly more of a history on racing than technical instructions.

In #GodotEngine 4.2 you can finally change the installation folder for assets, which should be handy if your addon is distributed in a sub-module friendly way.

(You can also ignore the root folder auto-generated by GitHub when downloading ZIPs.)

Oh my goodness I've just learned a thing about The Matrix that causes it to make a lot more sense: In the original script the humans were used as neural network compute clusters by the Machines and as a crucial component of The Matrix itself.

Which is why humans who were aware of the simulation could control aspects of The Matrix - their minds were part of its foundation.

Unfortunately the test audiences had trouble understanding this concept so the studio changed the human role to "batteries".

Hey #retrobubble. I'm want to connect my #c64 to the world. So far I've got an #ultimate1541ii+, however I didn't do more than connecting to it via telnet. I'm thinking of getting a #wic64 - is there any better way?

Journalist request:

Do you use any kind of generative AI tool regularly, either to communicate with others, or to make plans, in your work or personal life? If so, I would like to talk to you.

Note: openAI’s various tools, or Bard, or Bing chat, or whatever other tool, even if it’s integrated into something else, all qualify.

Thanks in advance!

Got an email for someone requesting a license for Acorn 4, because that’s the last release that would work on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

I absolutely just sent them one, and I'm extremely jealous because they get to use a great OS and they aren't even going to keep it connected to the internet. ÜberZen.

They are mostly not wrong but we have built a society where this attitude is seen as being "unproductive" and a problem to fix.
