XMPP SWEEP! FIRST CHAT PROTOCOL TO REACH A JABBILLION USERS!

i feel like gamers wouldn't feel so entitled if they knew even a small amount of what actually went into game development

@ipg there's an unfortunate asymmetry in that judging a work of engineering is often much simpler than creating or fixing one. You don't need to be able to fix the lag in order to determine that the lag sucks.

@ipg oooh wait till you interact with the crowd that learnt to make flappybird or whatever the fuck in unity in a day or two and have an inflated self confidence (arrogance)

Emma

in doing this i managed to fuck up hud.xex's string tables so badly that the drive indicator has no fuckin idea what it's doing

Emma

in the Mastodon Glitch-soc fork, if you default posts to unlisted (like i do), you can enable a "secondary toot button" which gives a quick and easy button to post a public post (visible in hashtags, searchable on some instances, shows in local/federated timelines)

the Xbox 360 S and PowerBook G4 15" Aluminium are the 2 best looking consumer electronics I own and they both have PowerPC processors

hooohh... hoohoh...h hooh... hhhoohohoh.h...oooh...

the best quality testing resource a developer could have (web or native, but most noticably web) is a low-spec budget laptop and/or android phone, running latest software

if you don't feel comfortable using your web app on budget hardware from a few years ago, then make it so you are

@ipg if i can't run your basic ass app on my 2011 mac mini then is it truly basic?

Mars

@ipg@wetdry.world that is true but also AUGHGHGHHG im lazy

good point though

Emma

there's something really charming about every EXE file made by most tooling having the MZ header that says "This program can not be run in DOS mode"

including the Xbox 360's kernel

@ipg I get it but I still fucking hate it.

Quiet: _ line haver

@ipg shoutout to Microsoft for banning the account i migrated to for something like not using my real name or something else it didn't warn us about

good company good changes

ExperiencersInternational (calckey)

@ipg@wetdry.world same for me, although I haven't got any Xbox Live accounts that have been flagged lol

I'm trying to get a friend or someone to have a free copy since I already own Bedrock due to a promotion in 2019 for Java edition but only one person has come forward and it's mainly for their Minecraft server

Emma

bluesky has taught me you could get a lot of people to adopt something new no matter how underdeveloped of it if its exclusive

so what if we made IPv6 invite only and ISPs had to be part of a cool club to implement it

Essem :skeeter:

@ipg in other words, a standards committee

@ipg f#*king PulseAudio …
ALSA worked so much better, why would you want a Windows-like daemon to manage your sound card is beyond me.

@ipg@wetdry.world so relatable. Swapping between apps or just like, existing can kill my sound. Seems like human sacrifice works more often than not though.

Grace :v_trans: :v_bi: :v_pat:

@ipg

I legit have no idea where this stereotype of linux sound issues comes from...

I have never had sound issues on linux...

STEP 1: Open PowerShell as admin
STEP 2: Type wininit.exe
STEP 3: You are now running 2 copies of Windows at once

DISCLAIMER THIS WILL BLUE SCREEN YOUR COMPUTER DON'T DO THIS

do not trust hello.coop and their verified identities, or their verified.coop and press.coop instances

they use their "verification" service to make a false claim of association for accounts such as BBC and NPR at their press.coop instance, despite them not being at all official

they then use a fake checkmark badge and tag their Twitter mirroring accounts on press.coop with this verification to mislead people into thinking they're official

@ipg that might violate the dot coop agreements, you should talk to them. Coop’s aren’t supposed to make movement look bad it’s in rochdale principles as an inverse of a rule on inter cooperation.
Baka emmie

@ipg realized they exist 1-d days ago when I saw the NPR account on their, really don't know how to deal with this...

On one hand I agree with having some place that is willing to faithfully mirror those news outlets

On the other hand I agree the profile green checks are a bit too misleading. Even for someone familiar with the fediverse it takes quite a bit of effort to realize the profile green check is fabricated

Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:

@ipg “Do not trust .. verified identities”

Several other official sources check (such as websites and Linkedin profiles, for example) + common sense check (helps against hacked official accounts to some extent) is always better, and the best is instances like kernel.org’s one which is linked to organization’s official website domain

*Checks date* oh, it's not April 1st. Ooops...

@ipg I noticed this earlier! The hackers unlisted/unprivated a lot of videos before completely nuking the channel, which was incredibly odd. Only have this one screen shot.
