because I see a lot of people approaching automation from this attitude of "software/sites should have APIs so that users can write software to automate it!"
and while that's not wrong, exactly, it's also not the attitude I think makes the most sense, you know?

We do not ask for access. We don't need to get permission to be able to automate our tasks.

@foone Virtual APCI?

@foone i'm not sure how useful this is outside of software as art

ime the biggest use case for "i want to run ancient software" is when you have ancient hardware, and virtualization famously does not work very well for that

@foone I encountered FlatHub last week because someone was saying how bad it was—but is that kind of thing what you’re talking about? (Note I know next to nothing about FlatHub, and I’m really asking to see if I understood the point of it in the first place.)

@foone it's like you have your own personal RoboCop to change your channels

@foone I remember the cold metal feel of these. 10/10 would recommend again.

@foone This has unlocked childhood memories. I seem to even have a childhood memory of how this remote smells. I was not expecting that.

@foone I've been increasingly disappointed with Amazon's search, selection, shipping, and prices. If anyone has recommendations for other ways to get basic things delivered I'd love to know about it. I live a ways from town and prefer not to drive.

@foone This is one of those “supply chain attacks” I’ve been hearing about?

@foone

I'm really curious about who those people are....

Because I bought some M4 nuts a couple of months ago... and every recommendation for the next 10 screens (including checkout) from Amazon was for M5 bolts

@foone we used to call them "cookie disks"

@foone 🤣

@foone I love “the clicky thing that goes pyoing” & “the swooshy thing that goes snap” 😂

@foone Mine's a LIFO stack and unfortunately you made your feature request back in February, so it might be a while

@foone Me with a tiny stack that overflows if I so much as try any task beyond my comfort zone

@foone

If you overpush to my stack, I'm liable to pop, for sure...

@foone Monumentally *good* idea. Make it expensive, to kill it.

@foone You mean, every token? 230M$ for the entire paragraph, maybe…

How many billions of weights is a minimally sensible LLM again? Good luck putting that into the blockchain. I like the spirit tho.

@foone I'm really sorry to hear this. I loved seeing your posts on my feed.

Could you post your paypal so that I can pay you directly?

@foone Are you on any platforms that support reoccurring donations?

@foone I’m very behind in reading my feed, so I just saw your news today. I hope that my donation helps, and that you can find a rewarding job. Thank you for your years of posts!

@foone that thing is older than me :(

@foone I actually have, but nothing on the order of this. Congratulations on the success of your efforts anyway, lol.

@foone
x86 stands for 1986

@foone
and then we get webpages which look like this
<div class="class363737 class47593">

@foone some poor bastard who came up with tabindex or with the submit event on pressing enter cries softly in his beer.

At the end, they escaped, he took the other teens to his spaceship, and his mentor used his greater MIND POWERS to remove the chips from the other teen's brains.

@foone

Sounds like some goosebumps shit

@foone this somewhat sounds like an arc of mob psycho 100 lol

@foone help, our NMR text keep freezing solid on the way to the instrument

@foone@digipres.club Yes.

yes but "room temperature" probably means that the room is habitable but humans don't function very well when they are frozen

yeah it runs out of ram early into flagdefs.cpp.

I'm not really surprised. that file is super-complicated.
I'd need to shard the CPP file to make this work. ugh, compiler partitioning

found another one! this one is called 450 times in the codebase

but they didn't turn it off, they just let it output to the debugger. since most users aren't running a debugger, that goes nowhere

first off, lemme get the spoilers out of the way: It's real, it runs DOS/Windows 95, and it can run Doom (badly) and VGAPride.

apparently the internal SDK library used for handling Miis is called RFL, for "Revolution FaceLib".
Interesting.

@foone a 21:9 display was life changing for me, very highly recommend. just about everything I've ever done that was made more convenient with the addition of another display is more convenient on a single 21:9

@foone ive gotten one for similar reasons, and would definitely recommend it. The additional screen space is really nice to have. Personally paired it with an old 4:3 monitor which i can put my browser on, while the ultrawide holds my main window and a terminal or two.

@foone ¿Do you have spare VGA monitors and a HDMI to VGA adapter?

if (this->field7_0x1c != (void *)0x0) {
memset(this->field7_0x1c,0xcb,this->field8_0x20 << 2);
}
_aligned_free(this->field7_0x1c);

what is this, secure free()? are you worried that people are going to hack into your Wii game?

I'm using fucking debian here! it's basically the same thing as ubuntu, but since the version name is wrong, NOPE

@foone those are the *nice* sockets, too

@foone Clearly it's to help you dump the ram ;)

@foone the noise, noise, noise
