if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

please take a step to bigger things. things are inherently designed in a way out of bounds in deep fog- and manage to make cool stuff for me

Still on the look-out for the JPI/Clarion TopSpeed TechKit manuals, specifically the Advanced Programming Guide.

It contains information on the TS x86 assembly dialect. I've looked for years for a copy, but I've not come across it.

If anyone has a copy, PDF or otherwise, please let me know!

Should also add, this advice doesn't necessarily apply to everything... if you're coding an app dealing with banking data or something, you should probably know what you're doing first ha

But we're making games! If you have an idea and you're just getting started - dive in, have fun, be creative!

This is going about on the birdside from the (apparently) leaked Balatro source code, and people are shitting all over it. Some straight up saying don't write code like this, learn to do it right before daring make a game..

I disagree!

Sure, it wouldn't pass a code review. But it looks like someone who had an idea and used what knowledge and tools they had to build it, working things out as they went..

And the product holds up, so what's it matter?

i love people who conflate git with github they have such a childlike naive view of the world it's cute

Good morning to you and a very fuck the Tories.

In order to to be able to fuck the Tories you now need ID. If you don’t have ID, go here ASAP to be able to vote against them next week.

of course i think things that can be accessible should be. information, communities, media.

but i think denying things to be made just because they're not accessible is also erasure.

this is i'm sure a very complicated and nuanced topic that i'm going to get a lot of flak over (or not, my posts barely reach anybody anymore)

but i think the web was better when flash wasn't getting killed by apple to promote their new pocket computer that makes calls

i will not sacrifice fun and artistic vision for accessibility sorry in advance

i believe in things that need and can be accessible being accessible

but not in the sanitization of the web

@ultraloveheaven i vehemently disagree with the notion that every single personal website needs to be 100% accessible as inflicted upon netizens by the corporate web 2.0

i fucking hate this folder picker. why do we still have to use it in 2024. i can't paste a path into it

On one hand I think the salt-and-pepper look is hot as fuck.

On another, I can't stop dyeing my hair enough to see myself get into it.

real tired of year after year seeing rotated photoshop text with wavy baselines because people still don't know about switching from sharp antialiasing to smooth antialiasing when rotating text in photoshop
