They still have Germany, with its paraconstitutional Staatsräson.

There are recompilation tools in some form; there’s a version of the C64 speech synthesiser SAM somewhere on Github that has been translated into very unreadable C code with global variables for the 6502 registers and 64K of RAM and C code that does the equivalent of 6502 instructions (I think the ST* instructions that touch the SID have been replaced with audio-writing code). For games, presumably you’d want this sort of thing with some libraries that do VIC-II graphics, SID audio, simulate hardware interrupts and such.

If one wanted to distribute C64 games to people who aren’t necessarily into C64 hardware or emulation, what would be the best way of doing so? Are there tools for either wrapping such a game in a preconfigured emulator or else recompiling the 6502 code into a native app for existing game platforms?

Somewhat heartening to see that for every ex-Labour voter going to the Faragist kleptofash, several are going to the Greens, and more probably would if they knew about them.

Wouldn’t that make you a Shy Red Tory?

According to this article, John Major came so close to giving the UK a world-class railway system. A bit more deregulation and some light-handed tweaking of incentive structures would have done it.

The security is dubious, and Durov is not exactly an exile: he travels to Russia regularly, and Telegram have had (and might still have) development offices there, suggesting some kind of accommodation with the authorities there.

you can add Orban and Erdogan to that list

If the Russian Mafia can do it, theoretically so can you.

Given that the guy died last year, he’s probably more likely to be mates with Ned Kelly these days.

That’s too optimistic. The trees kept voting for the axe because they gleefully imagined other trees they disliked getting chopped down, whilst convincing themselves that they were probably safe.

Mark Fisher’s KPunk blog/Capitalist Realism. That and/or play Disco Elysium.

Macron is a French politician, and as such it’s all but expected that he has mistresses. If he doesn’t, he’d keep his lack of mistresses quiet as not to look like a failure.

So, if you’re a Swedish citizen and vote for the right-wing parties, you’re voting for Nazis in government (and in the immigration portfolio). Which makes you one of the other ten people at the proverbial table.

Perhaps this will backfire and lead to a collapse of the vote for the right-wing parties, as those who are already comfortable with Nazism are cutting out the middle man and voting for the SD directly, and those who aren’t can choose from the Center party (nominally right-of-centre though preferring the left bloc to a Nazi-backed right) or the Social Democrats (nominally centre-left, though essentially an institutional status-quo party).

For some people, their burger is the closest thing they’ll get to an emotional support animal.

So the fascists have reinvented drag, only made it misogynistic?

I hope Ukraine lets NATO join
