"Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration." -- the late great Stan Kelly-Bootle circa 1980s

"They Say Don't Get Clocked" is a nasty short about a trans woman who's turning into a werewolf in the back seat of a car stuck in a sweltering traffic jam. A personal account of trans rage & monstrous femininity.

this is some wonderful writing and digital archeology to find the very first Flash game. it’s quite a dive down memory lane and kind of highlights what was wonderful about this lost internet era. definitely recommended reading!

36 years ago today was the Max Headroom TV STL hijacking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_signal_hijacking
I regard this incident as the best and purest hacking prank in modern history. The combination of sophisticated, meticulous technical planning and execution, utterly juvenile content, essential harmlessness, lack of financial motive, and never getting caught or identified (or later taking credit) remains, in my opinion, unmatched to this day.
Pure art.

i don't have a lot of friends at all. i don't have constant validation. most days i feel like if i dropped dead nobody would notice. one quick message (not a mindless star/heart click, please) helps turn that around a bunch.
making things online is lonely. i've made a bunch of tools and cool stuff online i shared with others not because i want fame and power but because i want people to enjoy them and tell me they enjoy it. i make things for others and i'm attention starved for the validation. if you ever enjoyed something i (or others) made, please, just shout us a thanks
@lion tbh i'm thinking the same tells that make it seem like it could've been webgbcam are the same that mean it could be a gbcam save in gbcamtool (which i also made) so i feel my reply might've been overly snarky
but either way idk a message of hey thanks for making this tool would be nice, i mean you got over 300 reblogs on mastodon, throw me a bone
almost nobody i've seen use webgbcam (crediting it, so i know they actually used it) actually messaged me
making thnigs online is lonely
that, and, i wish people would actually use the #webgbcam tag because then i could see that something i built is being used and enjoyed by people since direct feedback to me is so rare
i'm actually not at all happy with all the people i've caught passing off #webgbcam pictures as real #gameboycamera pictures. i think i built a really cool app that can simulate the original thing but i don't like being disingenuous about it. it is a camera filter, and doesn't capture images the same way the original CMOS does, and i don't think anyone should be misleading about that
@jcutting wow! i've never seen a #gameboycamera picture this ungrainy, either you used a really bright light to fix the CMOS ISO low or, judging from the scale and palette, used #webgbcam ? :)

feeling like i should watermark #webgbcam pictures so people stop passing them off as actual #gameboycamera pictures lol but also go play with it https://maple.pet/webgbcam
@jk this could've been avoided if only you built your own linux from scratch from the source files as described in this document that will take you a week to follow through and also it's out of date and the only way to fully follow it anymore is if you had read these specific forum posts which obviously you were meant to be already aware of otherwise you're a bad user
