RFC 2232, in case you need standardized details of how to implement DHCP via clothespins on devices without automated DHCP client software or compatible DHCP server software:

it's life jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it

dear amiga keyboard replacement manufacturers can we not get these tin plated yet like modern flat cables we all know this carbon crap is going to scrape away in 2 years and i'll have to buy a new one but maybe that's the plan

wishing discord had timed blocks and no blocked message tombstones but hey they'll probably put that behind a nitro paywall too

@lexbailey i doubt it! sadly whatever remaining pocketchip communities there are seem completely dead. i think i'm the last person interested in this dead hardware

@lexbailey i guess yeah "let's standardize ALL touch panels!" but i still think "let's make touch panels that are meant for single-touch fire the same events as a multi-touch capacitive panel" screams "i'm a software engineer and i have never touched a hardware"

@lexbailey Also touch events are meant for fucking multi-touch it should have no business being shoved into resistive touch screens in the first place

@lexbailey but like, it's not like it's A Bug that was exploited. i fully expect that if i'm touching a desktop application for it to generate desktop application events. sorry that i'm using software from before Touch was a Thing

@lexbailey it kinda is and kinda isn't! rtp (Resistive Touch Panel, from the device-tree, which is nigh unsearchable thanks to Real-time Transfer Protocol) used to fire off mouse click events and now it fires "Touch Begin" events. breaking Literally all software made for older kernels which means closed-source software such as pico-8 will Simply not work with your Shiny new Kernel

@lexbailey i saw 1 (one) post mentioning uinput and it linked to a githup repo to it that was last committed to like 11 or 12 years ago and i dismissed it as "there's no way this is going to work today". it fucking Reeks that i have to write my own C code to fix this regression introduced in the linux kernel

linux the most customizable operating system in the world "can i make my hardware behave the way it did in a previous kernel without having to downgrade the kernel" No shut up you will use open source software the way we want you to and you will like it
