C'est grave, d'autant qu'ils ne parlent même pas d'abattre des "terroristes" mais des simples "militants".

stop comparing "Israel" with apartheid.


In S. Africa they didn't even try to exterminate black people.
The comparison just don't stand anymore

Yeah. Wrong comparison.

Until about 20 years ago, it was widely believed that civilization began with the Sumerians around 7,000 years ago. However, the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, located on the border between Syria and Turkey, has dramatically altered our understanding of ancient history. The oldest remains of Göbekli Tepe date back at least 12,000 years, pushing back the timeline of human civilization by several millennia #civilization #gobeklitepe #histroy

Not a creature was stirring, not even a … ’

Hold that thought!

Here’s a Roman bronze figurine of a little mouse nibbling on bread! Squeak squeak! 🐭❤️

I searched "snatcher sega cd" and google suggested "snatcher sega cd rom"

why yes, google, it was on CD-ROM!

the official Doom wiki suggests that I forgot:

and I think that's it for commercial ports. There's certainly fan-ports lots of other consoles, many of which use ROMs

Gospels of Abba Garima, an illuminated gospel book in two volumes written on vellum in Ge'ez language and preserved in Abba Garima Monastery east of Adwa, in Mehakelegnaw Zone of Tigray Region of northern Ethiopia, were, according to legend, written and partly illuminated by Ethiopian missionary Abbu Garima, who is thought to have arrived in Ethiopia in 494 CE. #religion #Ethiopia #gospels

Reindeer are stirring…
A magical scene from ice age France.

Illuminated by oil fat lamps in the darkness of Lascaux, the panel of swimming reindeer was drawn in black manganese crayon 17,000 winters past.

Happy Christmas everyone!🎄

My Windows display driver starts to work a bit better now. And now I know that it is the keyboard driver that stops working without a graphics mode (???)

@nazokiyoubinbou It was similar to "Channel I/O" in mainframes, but really it was a bona-fide processor with its own assembly. The idea was that a bunch of CPU cycles were wasted on copying memory between the devices; you could offload this to 8089, leaving all the true computing to 8086. Multi-processor system by design! 8089 could be configured to run on top of a separate bus, with some extra logic to allow the communication between the system bus and the external bus, too.

Intel's own manual shows that it can be used to move data from a shadow frame buffer to a video RAM at 1.25 megabytes/sec (that'd be 20 FPS for this computer) all while leaving the main CPU available for other calculations.

Now that I think about it, I probably can/should leverage 8089 to do conversion between a linear framebuffer Windows expect and 16x16 blocky mess of a graphics the computer has.

@nazokiyoubinbou Unfortunately, as implemented in the Apricot, you can’t run them simultaneously. The 8089 has two buses it can work with, but the secondary bus only connects to I/O space. So the program the 8089 runs has to be in main RAM on the same bus as the CPU and they can’t both access it at the same time.

I suppose theoretically you could put some RAM in I/O space to fix that, but it wouldn’t be very portable. (Then again, Nina and Atsuko are the only other people I know who have one, so maybe it’s viable. 😄)

Hilma af Klint's descendants blocked a partnership agreement between the mega gallery and the artist's foundation. Internal tension is not new for the af Klint foundation, which has been embroiled in legal battles since it was set up nearly 30 years ago following the artist’s passing in 1944.

Now resting in a tiny box in one of the drawers, this magic fish predates Queen Victoria. Over 200 years old, it has been carefully kept and repaired - which may have skewed the accuracy of its fortune telling...

I've spent ridiculous amount of time making a sexy Windows 2.0 screenshot instead of writing a post about the system.

But you don't mind, right?

Windows 2.0 offers quite a unique challenge: only 8 colour palette to work with. Yes, even in VGA. I wonder if this was to support displays without an intensity input?

On top of that, built-in Paint is only monochrome, and PC PBrush has broken palette loading. So, to open this image in Windows 2.0, I had to

* Export my PNG to 24-bit BMP in "compatibility mode",
* Load Windows 3.0 Paintbrush, and then ZSoft PC Paintbrush (only in this order, Paint refuses to start after PC Paintrbrush),
* Select and copy image to clipboard in MS Paintbrush,
* Paste and save in PC Paintbrush,
* Reboot to Windows 2.0

GIMP->PCX doesn't work (format too new), Windows 3.1 Paint->PCX doesn't work (format too new), Windows 3.0->PCX doesn't work (broken palette, wrong colours).

Phew. But, oh my, it's sexy.

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of cancer cells.

What does the future hold for artists who paint? | AI will stifle talent.

Pick up a paintbrush in an official state-funded art school these days and you’ll be shown the door. It’s all digital | But what about artists who paint? With a brush. We’re up against it https://archive.ph/UjJ0q #art #painting #AI
