@thomasfuchs The picture you posted came from that telescope? That's pretty amazing.

If you would have told me that's a Hubble picture, I would have straight up believed it.

@thomasfuchs That looks gorgeous! What size telescope are you using?

@vik I guess the Chinese are going to market their space station as "conflict free". 😅

Whoa - retro computing alert! Several members of the original Commodore team, including Leonard Tramiel started blogging about the early Commodore history: https://vintagecomputerstories.blogspot.com

If you hit "more posts" a few times, it goes back to December of last year. I can't see any information about this blog, but they are updating pretty frequently. And the posts are cool late 70s homecomputing lore!

@mdhughes A Metaverse/SL is a good idea for porn and gambling, but unusable for anything else. Have 3D meetings with avatars? Seriously? There is no there there.

If I want to have fun in a free no-rules 3D environment, there is Minecraft.

A sign that news desks are staffed by 20-somethings is that absolutely nobody in media seems to remember Second Life as they breathlessly report on how the Metaverse will change everything.

Spoiler: The Metaverse will suck because it is a bad idea. It always was.

@tomasino Fully agree… and we’ve had this same argument for 30 years now, and somehow none of these media companies had to shut down because of piracy.
