I always wondered why anti-aliasing is such a big deal. then I realised my astigmatism wouldn't let me see the problem.

@SteelWool it is also the word for fabric.

I really wanna do more stuff with the chroot in my kindle. but I think I got enough features as it is. Relaying on my Rpi to do the package management and compilation is what keeps me from diving into the depths of the cross-compilation abyss. As the kindle runs an X server, this sparks a bit of curiosity.

@SteelWool Yes, any beefy-pc should be enough to act as the mainframe.

The first time I played tf2 was on plr_frontier, I was listening to kitsune2 - take off and land. And someone was micspamming a smosh clip. I would've loved to own a server with full replay support back then but I could only manage to archive the chatlogs.

it's hard to believe that Misskey has been in development since 2014. That's just crazy

I've been jumping bewteen android and ios devices since they appeared on stores. I've never needed a tablet. And the book reading part is covered by my jailbroken kindle, thank you very much. Stay safe, take care, drink some water and flip your mattress.

TIL: one of my most sought-after AFP/Samba connection features has been in macOS all along, buried in some really poor command line syntax:

smb://someusername:*@whateverserver.local

this lets you connect to multiple *different user accounts* simultaneously on the same server

The Tamagotchi Tama-town used a SunPlus/GeneralPlus GPLB5BX microprocessor, which is basically a 6502 plus some timers, an LCD controller, an SPI port, bunch of GPIO, RAM & ROM.

Natalie Silvanovich has done incredible work on reverse engineering the internals of the Tama-town:

When I was a small kid in school, There were classes held at the computer lab. sometimes they made us do some activities involving point-and-click games, about the topic of the day. These games were made on a program called JClic. fast-forward today and I can install JClic from flathub. I've been giggling at the game's SFX for the past hour. This software has been mantained for all these years and I found out it was always open-source. :bunhdhappy:
