Mair :a_blobcat_wobble:

@ipg@wetdry.world becuase people just want to play with their favorite players instead of using EA's microtransaction skinner box, and that's bad for profits. The solution ofc is to make FIFA into spyware

@ipg Windows Home Server? I'd much rather have a can of sudo! Tastes a lot better

X is legacy bloat supported solely by enterprises that are too stubborn to support something else and unsavoury people who think anything new is evil

@ipg I tried to get an Ubuntu VM setup recently and it was Just. Stuck. In X11. Ditched it and went to workstation lol

submitting a pull request to a closed-source proprietary software by disassembling the code and then DMing a developer with my changes

@ipg when MS opensourced threadx I thought about reimplementing the not-open VC4 port and contributing it back to them in a PR

in the end i didn't but lol

starfrost

@ipg someone did that to gta 5 and they accepted because the loading was taking 50 years

⛧ veeeeeeeeee

@ipg unironically when discord android had a weird bug a long while ago, we fixed the bug in aliucord

discord developers checked out our fix commit and shortly after, the bug was fixed by discord, so ig we kinda actually did just that?

@ipg the scary part about the whole thing is that you can convince people, solely because it is not unthinkable.

@ipg australian internet is censored but my little friend named tor stops it

In the UK, due to cultural norms there is a slightly different standard for device connectivity known as "Universal Serial Double-Decker Bus" (USDDB).

@ipg Another fun UK fact: As a historical legacy, all communications ICs manufactured in the UK have little doors fabricated as MEMS systems. This is so when data arrives to the chip, it has to "knock" on the door. This is a reference to the State Opening of Parliament, where the House of Commons famously slams the door in the face of the Usher of the Black Rod. It's supposed to symbolise the idea the Commons are independent from the Sovereign, and goes back to when King Charles I tried to arrest five Members of Parliament, but was not let in.

Some question the practice of artificially enforcing an arbitrary ritual which does nothing but give the illusion of the controller being securely in the hands of the people who depend on it, but we don't manufacture many ICs ourselves anyway

Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see this new fedi profile...

Look at that subtle small instance domain. The tasteful content warnings on it. Oh my God, they even have alt text...

Emma

another tip for the newcomers:

put alt texts/descriptions on your images and videos! it'll help those hard of vision / hearing be able to make sense of your posts, as well as helping those with slow or limited internet connections.

(if it's hard to describe, just try your best, edit your post in the future if necessary)

Emma

depending on your instance, you can also search for posts based on their media's alt text - on wetdry.world, posts are made searchable after you like, bookmark or boost them (or if you're mentioned in it)

Emma

some nice fedi tip for the new users on this instance (and elsewhere!)

by default your posts show up on the local (everyone on your instance), federated (everyone that your instance knows) timelines, and can show up in features like search, explore (popular posts), etc

you can change this, making posts only visible to your followers (and can't be boosted / renoted), or posts being public, boostable, but not discoverable

Emma

also - check out your local timelines! see what people are up to, say hi, make some friends

starting to think vista on an emulated pentium 2 in 86box wasn't the best idea

@ipg@wetdry.world i love tech companies embracing and making their own specific extensions to open standards im so glad nothing comes after that
