More Vintage Computing museums should rent out cloud access to their rare hardware.
SDF (Super Dimension Fortress) does it, and it’s freaking awesome.
I’m literally logged into a Sun SPARCstation…anyone can do this for free, right now. Just SSH in.
i started my PhD in robotics in 2003. 23 years later, the main real-world use of humanoid robotics research continues to be "extremely expensive ways to generate viral video clips"
you know you've been computering for too long when you can recognise what this is
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four regular panels, plus a tiny "kicker" panel under the bottom. PANEL 1 A large caption says "PRE-ELECTION." Two people, a casually dressed woman and a more business-dressed man, are talking in an office. The man makes a dismissive gesture. WOMAN: Progressives have some ideas for this election... MAN: Here's my idea. Step one: donate to our campaign. Step two: you get lost. PANEL 2 The man pushes the woman out of the office. WOMAN: Hey! MAN: No insult, but you woke special interest social justice freaks repel normie voters. Leave us in charge of this election so we can win! PANEL 3 The man sits behind his desk, looking very pleased. MAN: Good riddance! Now we can run a winning campaign - a centrist campaign with a centrist candidate and centrist strategies! PANEL 4 A large caption says "POST-ELECTION". The same man and woman are in a hallway. She glares at him, while he yells at her, jumping with fury. MAN: WE LOST AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! KICKER PANEL The man smiles as he talks to Barry the cartoonist. MAN: Centrist Democrats can't fail! We can only be failed.

A single comic panel mashing up Batman and Monty Python. 60's style Batman is holding the grenade from the movie The Holy Grail. Robin is saying Holy Hand Grenade Batman. The killer bunny has launched itself at Robin in the background.
THIS ROBIN DIED BECAUSE OVER 5,000 OF YOU CALLED THE WRONG NUMBER. NOW YOU CAN CALL AGAIN. TO APOLOGIZE. 1(800) 555-2660 1 am really sorry Ivoted for Robin to die. 1-(800) 555-2666 1am really, really sorry: please don't hurt me. Hi, I'm Red Hood, formerly Robin. In 1988, 5,343 of you called a premium-rate phone number to vote to let the Joker murder me. Bad news, buddy. It didn't stick. This is one '80s revival you can't ignore. I have a lot of unresolved anger issues, and the time to pay 5,343 house calls. Apologize now, and maybe I won't need to. You will be charged 50¢ for each call. If you don't call, you're really going to pay. WHEFLER ARTIST: STEPHEN BYRNE

Seriously.
They think that passes as clever, or that it somehow 'owns the libs'. It's actually just cringe AF.
Holy shit.

Screenshot of post by Katherine Dolye on x.com reading: EXCLUSIVE: Each day since the start of the war, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets of the previous 48 hours. But the military can't brief Trump on every strike and so the video, while it showcases U.S. capabilities, doesn't reflect the full scope of the conflict. "We can't tell him every single thing that happens," a current U.S. official said. The official noted that Trump's briefings tend to draw better feedback from his aids when they focus on U.S. victories.
