"dos-like" is a mini-engine/framework I made a couple of years ago. It makes it easy to make games and other things with a 90s MS-DOS look and feel, but using a modern C compiler and running on Windows, Linux, macOS and in the browser using WebAssembler.

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT The loss of internet archive would be equivalent to a modern burning of the library of Alexandria You MUST sign this petition, you cannot let the money-hungry destroy art, culture and HISTORY!!
📢 The Internet Archive needs your help. At a time when information is being rewritten or erased online, a $700 million lawsuit from major record labels threatens to destroy the Wayback Machine. Tell the labels to drop the 78s lawsuit. 👉 Sign our open letter:

fantastic thread. learn your computer history. learn your women's history - and the history of intentional erasure
In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle. They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training. Then, a SINGLE assumption erased them from tech history for decades. The story of how ONE photo nearly deleted computing’s female founders: 🧵

as an anthropologist, one of my specialisations is authoritarianism & revolutionist practice in response to it one of my research foci for is the social processes of a society's descent into authoritarianism a historian once told me: it happens slowly, then all at once.

If you find yourself in a situation where a company that laid you off desperately needs your help after the fact, the best response is an aggressively priced consulting contract with minimum guarantees, a retainer, expenses, and so forth. Being snarky and mean helps no one. If

cultivating equitable access to art and media for the underserved and underpriviliged WHILE selling more games and building lifelong communities and fans? what nutbag would be against this? only hypercapitalist scumbags, actually kids and poor people deserve art too. thanks!

i estimate bethesda has sold at least 100+ extra copies of their games due to a friend giving me a burned copy of morrowind when we were teens i've purchased SO many bethesda games (+ so many extra copies of each). i've converted so many friends & fam piracy rules ✌️
marketing fundamentals: given that your whole TAM won't buy your game & probably never hear about it which is more valuable? - someone who has not played your game - someone who has played it and enjoyed it but didn't pay for it same $ either way but latter has +1 advocates

the reason all those gamergate dweebs are obsessed with "DEI" & "wokeness" is they instinctively understand the dogwhistle in their minds, if DEI(equality) is abolished, they, mostly bottom-status str8 white men, are by default returned to the top of the status hierarchy. magic!

they're intentionally communicating that if you're a cis woman, trans, black, asian, non-white, you did not get your position by merit because in the natural order of things, a white man would have been better at that job by default they're parading white male supremacy. loudly

when you hear them say "DEI", automatically replace their words in your brain with what the word represents to them: "cis women, trans, black, asian, non-whites" when they say "we're getting rid of DEI", they're really saying "we're getting rid of cis women, trans, non-whites"

the top politicians and occupiers of positions of power in the US are currently actively using the white male supremacist dogwhistle of "DEI" to go after everyone who would stand in their way they are attempting to returning non-white non-males to the bottom of the status chain

make no mistake, "DEI" is code for white male supremacy when you hear these fascists talking about "getting rid of DEI", what they mean is "we're re-asserting the status of white men as default lords over all who do not belong to our group" do not comply
