Networked Pac-Man on two SAM Coupe computers

Networked Pac-Man on two SAM Coupe computers

writing a two player Pac-Man game to use the inbuilt networking years ago. For a MUD it'll be relatively simple as just need terminal style code on the other SAMs for the other players, with one SAM doing all the processing.

Just doing some fuzzy math about this dumb war that will go on for years. Trump is currently **only** spending $1 billion a day.

Homes making contribute:
$100k(22% tax bracket) = $1033yr
$250k(24%) = $5065yr

Just imagine if we could redirect this to social programs that actually help all of us

Georgia Tech researchers reverse-engineered Life360 / Tile's protocol and found it broadcasts your location in plaintext, uses a MAC address that never changes, and the company changed their privacy policy to admit they sell your precise location data 🔓📡

US Marine veteran Brian McGuinness was dragged out of a Senate Armed Services hearing after protesting the illegal US War in the Middle East, he shouted:

"America does not want to fight this war for Israel!"

Pro-Trump / Pro-Israel Sen. Sheehy helps police break the marine's arm.

Screenshot of an X post by Republicans Against Trump reporting claims that commanders at multiple U.S. bases told troops the Iran war is part of “God’s plan” and linked to Armageddon. Below is a photo of Trump standing with several evangelical leaders praying around him.

The religious right has infiltrated far into our military with disturbing consequences.

Christian Nationalist Logic:

"We're gotta waste millions of dollars killing folks in a useless war because Jesus is powerless to just come back himself and start Armageddon if we don't. He needs our help, y'all! Glory!"

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

SUPER SHOCKED: Israel and the Saudis lobbied Trump to start the war. As @maddow.bsky.social asked: who benefits? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

If Israel hacked traffic cams for intel ahead of the Iran strike, I don’t even want to imagine how vulnerable U.S. camera networks are, especially with Silicon Valley dipshit tech bros slurping everything up and calling it “innovation.”

A while back I made a video where I figured out how to run the built in ROM diags on a Mac SE/30 over its serial port. I documented the work and some smart folks have turned that work into an easy to use program that anyone can use:

ChatGPT is shedding users fast. Since yesterday alone, estimates are more than 1M accounts have been deleted & the boycott continues to gain momentum.

Why? How about the $25 million donation by OpenAI's President to a pro-Trump super PAC & environmental concerns regarding high water usage for AI.
