Do you think this aesthetic could be rescued by giant paintings of intergalactic space battles??? 🤔🚀🤔🚀🤔🚀

cashu is not an alternative to non-custodial lightning. our goal is to improve custodial systems with privacy and censorship resistance. if you don’t want to use custodial systems, that’s fine. just run a node. if you use custodial wallets, cashu is better than anything else you can get. think wallet of satoshi but with better privacy and censorship resistance: - many mints run by grass roots communities - best privacy possible, better than any privacy shitcoin - many features due to cryptography - 40 years of chaumian ecash research behind it bitcoin + ecash is electronic money at its best.

We forked the X.Org Server in June 2025. #Grokipedia states this fact in its X.Org Server article. #Wikipedia completely removed #XLibre from its X.Org Server article—after someone removed the political bias. #NPOV

☢️BUILD 2 ENGINE NEWS☢️ We talked with Ken Silverman himself & there will be no source code for the original Evaldraw system Raylib+Build 2 in C is exactly what he intended to do next & what we already did! Build 2 will remain non-commercial unless you get a license from Ken

If you ever played Space Invaders you surely noticed that each time you killed an alien the game went faster. But, if you checked the source code from one of the arcade machines, you would find nothing related to this. That's because this mechanic is a hardware accident. The Intel 8080 CPU had to update every alien. Our machines would do it extremely fast (in fact, it would be impossible to play the original game with current power), but changing the position, redrawing the sprites and checking for collisions for each one of the 55 aliens was really expensive. That's why the game starts slowly, but gets faster, simply because each time you kill an alien, there are less resources to manage. And... people loved this! A simple side effect became an iconic mechanic. The source code (not original one, copyright held by Taito Corporation): computerarcheology.com/Arcad… You can also read about the Intel 8080 here: cpu-collection.de/?l0=co&l1=…

The interrobang was a new punctuation mark created in 1962 by advertising executive Martin K. Speckter. Combining the question mark and the exclamation mark into a single glyph, the interrobang could be used to convey astonishment or disbelief. Sadly it never caught on.
