Amin GirasolHere's a short, funny and inspiring talk by Michal Pleban at last month's <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FOSDEM2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSDEM2025</a> about getting the ultra-rare, cancelled <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Commodore</a> 900 up and running with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Coherent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coherent</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/UNIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UNIX</a>.(Michal's not miced for the first 40-odd seconds, but the slide is sufficient.)<a href="https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5479-raiders-of-the-lost-hard-drive/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5479-raiders-of-the-lost-hard-drive/</a>

But why isn’t it reporting on something almost every lawmaker and journalist in official Washington knows — that Trump is remarkably <a href="https://c.im/tags/stupid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stupid</a>? I don’t mean just run-of-the-mill stupid.
