I had the Magnavox 8CM515 which was basically the same, and the front power switch burnt out – repair guy just shorted it, saying it was next to impossible to find a replacement… used that monitor on a CoCo-III, Atari STfm and an MM/1, wonderful RGB monitor for its time.

Agreed. I got to see him speak once years ago, wonderful lecture on the nature of creativity, lateral thinking, and just… stuff. Hard to describe, but just excellent.

C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.

Damn, I wish someone would make a 68k based version of this.

None More Black, Hotblack Desiato’s preferred fowl.

Good questions, and important that we crowdsource verification of this. I saw some other posts on bsky that other people have received these emails, suggesting it is not a single instance. Implication is that it’s a new automated effort, perhaps “by AI”, to intimidate people en masse. But it could be fake, so the more examining it, the better.

I was trying to sound the alert that this might be a thing – BUT if it turns out to be fake, please by all means shout to the hilltops that it is bunk.

Credit Unions! At least I hope in your country they exist, and are better than banks which, where I live, they most DEFINITELY are.

There’s a dedicated tool named sshguard which works nicely.

Bedeviled NXP/ARM SDK stdlib. Hate it, we need \n\r there. Why!!! What a PITA.

You’re right, the text itself doesn’t spell out any exemptions.

I guess I was just (badly) trying to express my skepticism that our own media and/or society at large would be willing to apply this definition to our own local governments or government-adjacent orgs, even if they met the criteria.

Which wasn’t really the point of this post anyhow I suppose… I’ll shut my trap now :)

I was implying that by the description there, we should legitimately consider the people making up certain governments terrorist groups.

Hmm, so no exemption for those in government. Gotcha.

Hah, LOL no. Sadly, I have no illusions there will be any accountability in this regime.

Perhaps his admiration of despots like Putin, and his seemingly desperate desire to become like them, to be considered an equal by them, is the thing that drives him. It could be that he just truly, truly wants to be like Putin, so does anything he can to impress or aid him.

If that’s true, then there’s really nothing anyone can do. (Well, nothing I can mention, that we all know full well, without being on some lists).

Never mind the reasons – this is patently illegal and violates security clearances. Yet another reason, as if more were needed, to oust him and then prosecute him.

Maybe they’ve got something really, really big on him. Something he values beyond all else – even money, even fame, even attention, even power, since those seem to be all he loves.

Maybe Putin convinced him years ago he will bump off Ivanka if he doesn’t obey, or something.

Hmm, guess that’s tacit permission for Canada to do the same with our southbound water then eh? >:(

So he’s wearing a … Hazmaths Suit?

I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

Hi I’d like to report a personal attack please. Oof.
