I wonder if there's any bets going on in the "bet-o-sphere" of whether or not the Department of Defense (because that's its legal name) will put squibs on the guy they plan to publicly execute to make it look worse.

End of an era. #Zilog EOL'd the #Z80 over two years ago, now parent IXYS/Littelfuse issue EOL notification for all MCU lines. Got my first Z80 in a #ZXSpectrum in '83 then #SAMCoupe in '93. Made my own Z80 stuff since late 90s. Designed industrial equipment with eZ80 in 2003, plus co-pro on SAM.

Imagine having nothing else to run on other than pandering to bigots in a flailing attempt to salvage the absolutely crushing they're going to receive in November? Hegseth tested the water to see the reaction. Trump now feels it's safe to denigrate the most at-risk people in our society. Fix this.

Humans have the capability for great evil. So, fight after fight, you keep going. Reject the evil and when necessary, put it in it's place. It will never be over. But it is up to -you- how bad it gets before the arc of history is pushed back towards justice.

"AI art is art" - sure Jan. You can't claim ownership on it. This is like saying "That Picasso I own is my physical property, therefore I made the art and deserve the credit for making it." But then also without the "physical possession" aspect.
