Friday Links

Friday, December 10, 2021

Just a few interesting links that have come across my feed in the last week.

• Jimmy Maher, always a great source for gaming history, has a piece on Might and Magic.
• Rolling Stone breaks a story about what data and metadata law enforcement has access to. (h/t Bruce Schneier)
• Pastor Benjamin Dueholm gives us “Suggestion: Don’t Do Bad Things.” (This is from September, but I didn’t see it until this week.)
• Nicole Branagan follows up on the hardware of the Pioneer PX-V7, a LaserDisc-based gaming console.
• Mark Nottingham, author of RFC 8890, “The Internet Is for End Users,” has a new RFC draft entitled “Avoiding Internet Centralization.”
• Fr. Lawrence Farley writes about the Bible’s literary nature and its antiquity.
• Roger Pearse debunks the myth of St. Boniface and the Christmas tree. (I wasn’t aware there was such a myth, but it was still interesting.)
