"That Cuomo is making common cause with Trump to stop Mamdani will not be a big surprise to many on the Left, who have long suspected that quite a few centrist Democrats (and the corporate interests they serve) would prefer MAGA to socialism. It may yet scandalize many ordinary Democratic voters though — and it raises the question of whether and how a house so divided against itself can stand.

Trump’s support for Cuomo also bodes ill for what will come after November should they succeed in defeating Mamdani. Adams was able to avoid federal corruption charges by aiding in Trump’s immigration crackdown. It’s not at all hard to imagine Cuomo will be expected to return the president’s favors by doing the same or worse, like welcoming federal police into the city. In that scenario, it will be New York City residents who pay the price for Cuomo’s deal with the devil."

Today is Thunderfest, a welcoming event at the beginning of fall semester at the UVic campus. @jdd together with library colleagues are presenting a real, well maintained Altair 8800i, from 1975, in the library entrance area. Next to it, some stations running Altair software on emulators. Awesome.
More about the Altair:

The image depicts an indoor setting, likely a computer lab or a public access area, with several individuals using vintage computers. In the foreground, a person wearing a striped shirt and light-colored pants is seated at a desk, interacting with an old-style computer monitor displaying green text. Standing next to this individual is another person in a yellow top and blue jeans, carrying a backpack, observing the screen. In the background, through a glass partition, a third person is seated at a similar setup, working on a computer with a blue screen. The room features a mix of modern and retro elements, with contemporary lighting fixtures and a polished floor. The overall atmosphere suggests a blend of historical and current technology use, possibly for educational or nostalgic purposes.

The image depicts an indoor setting, likely a museum or library, with a spacious and well-lit environment. In the foreground, a man and a woman stand side by side, both smiling at the camera. The man is wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and jeans, while the woman is dressed in a striped top and black pants, with a lanyard around her neck. To their left, there is a glass display case with a blue interior, open and empty, positioned on a black stand. Behind them, a large screen is mounted on the wall, displaying text, and a service counter is visible in the background with people seated and standing around it. The overall atmosphere is calm and organized, with natural light coming through the windows.

The image features a display sign for the Altair 8800 Computer, a significant milestone in personal computing. The sign is framed in a clear acrylic stand and is placed on a glass surface, with a wooden panel background. The title "ALTAIR 8800 COMPUTER" is prominently displayed at the top in bold, with "50 Years of Personal Computing" below it. The sign's background is a dark blue, and the text is white, providing a clear contrast for readability. The text on the sign provides historical context, highlighting the Altair 8800's role as the first commercially successful personal computer and its impact on the development of personal computing in the late 1970s. It mentions the launch of "Micro-Soft" (Microsoft) and the inspiration it provided for Steve Wozniak's creation of the Apple I. The sign also discusses the Altair's evolution from a kit for electronics hobbyists to a more sophisticated personal computer, including the development of Altair BASIC and the broader implications of personal computing.

t lijkt erop dat #EU zich heeft laten intimideren door #Trump: productveiligheidseisen opgeven in ruil voor minder verhoging v invoerrechten. Stop daarmee! Houd Amerikaanse troep buiten de deur. En als USA dan onze kwaliteitsproducten niet wil dan is t hun probleem.

@Yaku 🐗 io mi stupisco che al "puoi spegnere lo schermo e continuare ad ascoltare" la gente non faccia una piega e continui a usare la app di YouTube (piena di ads tra l'atro).

The latter part of this week has been a bit wobbly so I’ve retired to bed early, maybe to read for a bit, and maybe to sip on a nightcap.

Received these in the mail today. Haven't had a Norwegian OS/2 box since the early 90s! And the one on the right is the somewhat rare Norwegian "OS/2 2.1 for Windows 3.1" *on CD-ROM* - if it isn't on archive.org yet it will be soon. 😀

Autistics should know the difference between social withdrawal and social isolation. Too many times, I see autistics in social isolation when they are in an autistic burnout.

Don't isolate yourself. You need to met nice people that can energize you. Rest isn't doing anything and sleeping. It's having activities like your passion, sharing time with another autistic, having some time with your pet…

Keep in mind to see people, especially other autistics.
