@b0rk I once removed the (pseudo) randomness from doom and… interesting things happened https://jmtd.net/log/deterministic_doom/

Whatever happened to Steve Lord’s Dork Web?

Yesterday was my first in Portland, OR so I visited Powell’s which was amazing. And I escaped without spending all my money. Just

@esselfortium kind of related, I’m in your fair county right now and I see that Ancient Aliens is a tv show

@timbray @anildash @inertiate I’ve never managed to have a useful local timeline and I’ve given up trying. It’s kind of contrary to the point of federation anyway

My poor brain is too ruined right now (awake 24h) but this is 🤯 https://ethw.org/Ancient_Computers
