social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

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

Have more or less begun in earnest, the process of converting my solitaire blog to HTML. And that involves - yes - smashing together another stylesheet for it. There are things that I can't do in pure CSS, but I can still at least achieve the feel that I'm looking for, here.
Just a lot of busywork left, really.

https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/golfers.html - Just an update to the Golfer's Gallery over at Golfshrine today, with a few golfers I hadn't gotten around to adding, plus subsections on costume editors and course designers.

And then this happened today (unrelated to the previous couple of pictures obviously). Who can tell me what exactly this is? 😀
(Also, chances of revival around 50% 😬)

@thetacola and in case you think there is no possible linkage between gnu image manipulation program and bdsm (which i am fine and in favour of, just not the slur) this is the splash screen for version 2.7.2

@thetacola gnu (formerly general) image manipulation program was originally named for the pulp fiction character "the gimp" who is named after the gimp suit they wear which is a bdsm accoutrement named after a slur aimed at physically disabled people
you can corroborate any of this through your own research
computer fairies is literally slowing down because of me. lol sorry
i think if as something as big as the Major League Baseball team Cleveland Guardians can change their name an image, there is no reason why The Second-rate Alternative To Adobe Photoshop can't
oh fuck a hit tweet
"but mavica you are conflating way too many different groups and distributions under a single 'linux' umbrella!" isn't that the point? when was the last time you heard of an 'archlinux' marketshare against an 'ubuntu' marketshare?
linux will do so much better when they excommunicate stallman and their followers from their ranks
linux: y no women in our spaces ????? :( :( :(
also linux: our preferred softwares are bitchx, gimp and something with an abortion joke in the official documentation

I involuntarily (cheers @root42!) spent my Saturday on tracing down an ancient Turbo C bug. 😅
The intr() function, used to call DOS/BIOS interrupts will pass the wrong BP register value to the interrupt. BP is heavily used in stack handling, so intr() generates a BP-reload-and-INT-trampoline on the stack, but the BP reload offset it creates is off-by-four.
Fix: Look for the sequence C6 46 F4 E2 in affected binaries, and change E2 to DE.
More details in reply. 🧵

This is an experiment. Please boost.
Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.
I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)
