“Easy to Learn, Difficult to Master” by David Kushner and Koren Shadmi. A dual biography covering a few years' rivalry between Nolan Bushnell and Ralph Baer during the 1970s, including fantasy gaming encounters between the two. There are a few charming moments, but the one-color artwork is underwhelming. Al Alcorn is drawn as the wrong character on page 51. Possibly #3 in a series of graphic history reviews. #videogames #atari #history #histodons #comic #comics #artwork #graphicnovel #book

@DavidGallagher@sfba.social Fascinating, thanks. I love the old look of it!

@DavidGallagher@sfba.social It's the same house near the end, that had an unusual rounded facade, then the road was moved farther away and it got a blocky extension in front? Is it still there?

@Alien_Sunset@dice.camp It looks great.

@suzannealdrich @briankrebs IMHO, even though he never read it, this guy seems to have taken “The Shock Doctrine” to heart. His motivation doesn't need to be exogenous; he still thinks he'll benefit.

@emilymbender@dair-community.social This looks great. I am eager to read your preprint, but am getting a 404 for this URL: https://faculty.washington.edu/ebender/papers/Bender-AI-2026.pdf

@eltonfc I'm having trouble answering this question. I think my interpretation is more like a statement of intention (I seek to X).

@insecteuthanasia I understand the claim this way: Person A suggests Linux to Person B, who has already decided that it is too difficult, therefore the suggestion is ableist. Person B should probably stick to using a Speak and Spell.

@tootstorm@eldritch.cafe Sounds like the review writes itself 😅

@hannah@posts.rat.pictures Wowowow. I love it.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Sez there are five more E-3s in the field. https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/aerospace-news/2026/us-deploys-nearly-40-of-entire-e-3-sentry-awacs-fleet-to-middle-east-for-potential-war-against-iran

@feld @blinry @postmarketOS Would you please elaborate? To date I'm concerned about all the surveillance associated with the Android system, presumably absent here.

@kklevine I am only librarian-adjacent, but there are definitely some around. I'd ask away, using hashtags as you have done.... #library #librarians #academia

@mrundkvist Strange distinction. Does it have something to do with the artists' moral rights?

@vic_101 Hecho por buena gente, no sé si se puede satisfacer, pero existen productos que antedatan la así llamada I.A., p.ej. Dragon NaturallySpeaking, ahora propiedad de Microsoft mismo.

@sofiav@mastodon.online They never fail to add another dimension to the previous tally.... kind of like those excessive razor blades we're burdened with

@brian_gettler Tricksters tend to use word-play in the liminal space, as I recall.... At least according to my reading of Victor Turner.

@silentjuno Que belo, onde fica eso?

@AutisticInnovator Among FOSS, GIMP is great for photos and Inkscape for object layouts. Their learning curves may be steeper than Canva's though.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Amazing photo. I applaud her if she did this on purpose.

@lakeswimmer@aus.social I believe the classic tool here is rsync. It's pretty good.

@tschew@mastodon.social @kevinrns@mstdn.social @thomasfricke@23.social @hateaid@troet.cafe Lord knows that kind of European software would even attract some American customers....

@sthottingal This is supremely interesting, thanks for your contribution and explanation!

@amapanda@en.osm.town I imagine that the number of place names is related to Galicia's famously smaller agricultural lands (minifundios, as opposed to the latifundios that were normal in the rest of Spain). If you can read Spanish, see https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minifundio .

@djrrb Super cool, nice work!

@KathyReid@aus.social Congratulations on your achievements.

@Beurkeek@peoplemaking.games This thread has several people posting photos of their unit a month ago; I'd consider writing to them. https://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/comments/1pp1u5h/nintendo_hands_free_controller_surfaces_after_40/

@laamaa Thanks, that was just fabulous. What kind of tools do you use to compose a tracker tune?

@tao Well said. Conveniently unpredictable ideation appears to be a main use case.

@kikebenlloch@mastodon.social @BUnicycling@mastodon.ie @alan@en.osm.town @amapanda@en.osm.town Super interesting! Thanks for these links.

@marsidesino@typo.social Can't help, but am fascinated. I do like the ogee curve on the R, while the acute accent may be a horrible workaround.

@alan@en.osm.town @amapanda@en.osm.town @BUnicycling@mastodon.ie I can't speak to the names of fields per se, but given their shared Celtic and then Catholic heritage, there must be some overlap! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Celtic_place_names_in_Galicia

@ricci@discuss.systems At least the Usage does not repeat the command as first given!

@tfardet@scicomm.xyz If you don't need it, you don't need it!

@pinakographos Interested.

@brianb@fosstodon.org One datapoint that you may already have gathered, is the panel angle most appropriate for your latitude.

@parap@mastodon.social Fascinante.... qué rico ser foral

@BUnicycling@mastodon.ie @alan@en.osm.town @amapanda@en.osm.town If I'm not mistaken, Catholic corporations such as the Archdiocese of Santiago de Compostela did own a lot of the Galician minifundios. But I have no source at hand on this.

@delcano Aunque se opere con menos de 2.625€ por mes, costaría mucho más en el primer instante. Factible puede ser, pero lo principal será explicar como la comunidad lo pague.

@dobody@mastodon.design I hesitate to generalize, but you can easily enough find foundries' type catalogs, which I would consider evidence of a marketplace for type independent of presses. It seems simple enough to assume that sellers of used presses would sometimes include type and this could be also borne out by advertisements. Whether a specific press bought their type separately seems harder to determine, unless you find evidence of such transactions.

@puzzled@coales.co Thank you, good to know.

@puzzled@coales.co What's it called?

@gabriel@col.social Better minds have probably already worked on this, but maybe ¿“calcos estocásticos”?

@Jontofski@mastodon.art Great stuff, the draughting reminiscent of cubism reminds me of Klee.

@loriemerson@post.lurk.org Good point! I may convert.

@Essanay@sfba.social Great work!

@dymaxion There does seem to be space for superior modeling and engineering, now that most firms have signed onto the More and Worse approach.

@paninid And even longer if you're a Giants fan
