@vitaut POKE 59458,62, if your PET got a 6845 CRT controller

@vitaut

Should become a text book definition of "WORKS-FOR-ME".

@vitaut@mastodon.social C programmers

@vitaut

1. if it’s not NUL-terminated (NUL, not null, damnit!), it’s not a string, and you have to use memcpy and friends
2. if you’re getting an opinion only after reading an (old) post from Drepper… you have a problem with assigning proper trustlevels to sources

@vitaut@mastodon.social i die a little bit inside every time i see someone use "prefix" when they should use "suffix"

@vitaut what does the author mean by "schizo" logic? Especially when it is contrasted by "sane and natural logic"?

Because the only word I know that has schizo in it is schizophrenia, so this sounds like the author is, at the same time, managing to show they don't understand how schizophrenia work, are being abelist and pretending like schizophrenia isn't something natural that just happens to some people because of genetic and epigenetic factors

@vitaut That list kinda helps illustrate that games aren't (just) software -- a huge number of the entries on that list are engine clones for interpreting/playing non-Free game data, including often non-Free code in game scripts.

Naming that list "open source games" is dishonest, imo. It's like saying that Google search is open source because I can use it in Firefox.

No hope for russia after all
