I am stepping back from the #Tusky project with immediate effect.

I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via #OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those to the project's private "Tusky Contributors" Matrix channel the financial admins tone policed the feedback, refused to engage with the concerns I and others raised, and demanded the discussion be stopped.

There is too much detail for a thread, so please read https://write.as/nikclayton/stepping-back-from-the-tusky-project.

All the fun of the larger New York Times Crossword, but you can solve it in seconds.

Successful PC upgrade for my fiancée. Kudos to Scan again for an unprompted, but welcome Sunday delivery.

Intel i5-4460 to Ryzen 5800X3D with 32GB RAM.

Pair of Intel 670p nvme 2TB drives.

Kept her RX580, because the GPU market is ridiculous.

Edge still prompts “this file may be harmful” when downloading the Chrome installler, plus “accidentally” covers where you need to click with a popup.

Fiancee has ordered, at my recommendation:

1. Ryzen 5800X3D
2. Stupid expensive Noctua cooler
3. Some half-decent B550 motherboard

I already have RAM for her and an SSD or two.

She's upgrading from the hand-me-down I gave her built around an i5-4460, which was originally a Hackintosh build for me.

She's porting across a venerable RX580 until a sensible upgrade option becomes available.

@amigalove I've got an Ultimate64 that could cut the boot time down by ~50X. Sadly, whilst I'm lucky enough to own a real C64 + SuperCPU, the seller of the SuperCPU decided not to include the SuperRAM with it, so I can't test this on real hardware!
