From 1992 to 1997, Apple shipped over 40 Macintosh models wearing a Performa badge. I'm writing about all of them on @512pixels during August.

Welcome to Performa Month!

is the coolest Commodore classic computers emulation sim-suite! It's brilliantly skeuomorphic. Picked it up today and gave it a quick whirl: youtube.com/watch?v=uQtWXXYjBv

Ok this made me cry. A celebration of 70 years of space family and friendships. *wipes a tear* I would have bawled outright if it was Doctor Who x Star Trek x Firefly. :D

You're on my crew. o7

I LOVE this messaging. Community manager of encourages people to take a break if they need to. They "can always come home, even a year later" etc. If only the community could be this warm and accepting, and not call any urge to take a break a "dead game, make Destiny 3" signal: youtube.com/watch?v=ay3pqYZf_j

Read our latest update about the Freedom Ladder campaign, and how we plan to create introductory free software resources that keep people moving forward on their journey to freedom. u.fsf.org/3h9

Awww my fireteam included Zavala, Crow, Ikora, Caiatl, Cayde-6, Mara and Ghost! They can take some credit. :D

The player base is infuriating with how they’re always bored. They have the funnest, largest (lore and more), most innovating FPS shoot-loot MMORPG ever made, and if they don’t have a campaign that takes years to make to play at every second, every day, all year round, they’re bored.

Absolute spoiled brats with no curiosity or adventure who take everything for granted.

There is no intrinsic boredom in this vast content. THEY (players) are the boring. They bring it themselves.

I like seeing iBook references in modern media. Spotted a tangerine iBook inspired laptop in a dating visual novel I’m reading on Switch.

Travel

I have to go on a trip in like 4 hours for visa reasons and this is how im feeling right now T_T

Will still draw my daily comics but itll be on my iPad with procreate and im not very good at that so the quality will be lower sadly

Don't mind me, just teaching AI how to git gud at using Commodore VIC20 computers.

(Slides show the work in progress and learning confirmation.)

I could have split hairs and had it replace the word "delete" with "scratch", but I used the word "delete" in my prompt, so I'll let it slide. :P

Once again, Business As Usual has produced exactly what we have come to expect — another month of record-breaking heat.
______________________________

Last month was the hottest June on record across the globe, the EU's climate monitor said Monday, capping half a year of wild and destructive weather from floods to heat waves. Every month since June 2023 has eclipsed its own temperature record in a 13-month streak of unprecedented global heat, the Copernicus Climate Change Service said.

"This is more than a statistical oddity and it highlights a large and continuing shift in our climate," said the service director, Carlo Buontempo.

This was "inevitable" as long as humanity kept adding heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, he said.

Scorching heat has blanketed swathes of the world from India to Saudi Arabia, the United States and Mexico in the first half of this year.

Relentless rain, a phenomena scientists have also linked to a warmer planet, caused extensive flooding in Kenya, China, Brazil, Afghanistan, Russia and France.

Wildfires have torched land in Greece and Canada and last week, Hurricane Beryl became the earliest category five Atlantic hurricane on record as it barrelled across several Caribbean islands.
