FUCK. Rob was incredible, thanklessly struggling against the major labels for the last 26 years to curate one of the most important databases of our age.
Rob shaved and dyed a different logo of organisations they supported into their hair every month. I can only aspire to that level of dedication to a cause.
I just uploaded the entire 1993 "SimClassics" compilation for Commodore Amiga to archive.org. The original SimCity Classic, SimAnt and SimLife as pristine KryoFlux and ADF disk images, including 300dpi scans of all 9 diskettes.
SimAnt and SimLife are German releases, SimCity Classic is in English.
Have fun!
We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

I hacked car charging to work with my electric bike!
@mattround Yep. And they are definitely listening too much to accountancy firms and related software companies, and not enough to the people actually working freelance.
@eclectech You just know some filing service will get hacked or do something dodgy
When talking with people I say “defense in depth” but sometimes it feels like “hope in layers.”

Looking for people who can let my friend crash with them for a while. Or for organizations that will get them support and/or housing. They're black, trans, and very young, and have had no success with being able to find a shelter or other stable housing or a job.
I've posted asking for mutual aid before (https://retro.pizza/@uncoolmouse/115815824713819696) and some of y'all have been super helpful, but they're feeling really exhausted and hopeless after telling their story again and again and being turned away because the systems are overloaded.
They're currently in Bellingham, Washington, but if you're anywhere in Washington or Oregon, my friends and I could chip in to get them there.
(Boosts really appreciated)
