The French video game industry has been just as impactful as their Japanese, American, and British counterparts.
Here’s the major reason why: the Thomson 8-bit microcomputer.
It was the 80s microcomputer that took off in France. I’ve never touched one physically but I have emulated it. And I played a lot of great games on it: Sorcery, Mission: Liftoff, Androides.
That machine was home to so many classics. And it looked cool!
@atomicpoet I used to manualy type BASIC programs (mostly mini games) from (paper) computer magazines on a one of those TO7-70 https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b550101045/f1
The "pen" was a device capable of interacting with the TV screen of the computer.
One hack was the secret 'EXEC 1216' to be able to view the source of "protected" basic progams... #hackers
Everything you ever saw or wrote on your device, even if deleted, will remain in definitely remain available and searchable for users of the device, including #hackers.
Opting out requires work.
Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.

Column called "Click & Double Click" in the The Southeast Missourian, dated 5th of August 1997. Columnists Dennis & Darren talk #hacking, in particular cult of the dead cow and I spy a @dethveggie homepage. "These guys seem to proclaim themselves #hackers, but they appear to be selling out"
"Youtube engineers watching their latest #adblockdetection program get defeated in fifteen minutes by a bunch of autistic #codemonkeys fueled by nothing but the desire not to see ads" #Hackers#Humor
En 1984, Steven Levy publicó "#Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution", escandalosamente no traducido al castellano. 40 años después, seguimos ignorando sus enseñanzas... Deberíamos estar celebrando, loando y haciendo miles de reseñas del que, al menos para mí, es el libro más importante de la cultura digital. Y aunque el retraso intelectual de la (in)cultura hispana ya haya quedado evidenciado, nunca es tarde para traducirlo al español e ilustrar a la gente. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution

This 'numb3rs' episode ("Shadow Market") that is sort of about #hackers and darkweb marketplaces is just too much, too many cringe inducing moments that I want to post.
The episode starts with the feds undercover at a #hacker con called "Pentest".
Once upon a time in 2005 I attended my first #Linux symposium in #Ottawa. It was interesting to be surrounded by so many fellow geeks, most of whom made me feel wholly inadequate but that's beside the point. It's a real shame the event eventually failed. If I were better with faces I would tag people but I'm just not that guy. #geeks#hackers#programmers
Please RT for reach: I’m trying to #FOIA records on computer intrusions into DOD systems during first Gulf War (1990), I have a GAO report which gives a high level summary but am looking for more.

We're working on something with our friends at #CryptoHarlem.
You might know of hackathons as events where teams can build new and inventive features outside of their official roadmap.
This hackathon is different. We're hosting an event for #hackers, researchers, and bug hunters to test the security of Hush Line, our new free and open-source whistleblowing platform.
