I think I'm becoming utterly disillusioned on tech stuff lately. I'm hugely aware of the "you like stuff you grew up with" and "you have less patience for stuff as you age" biases, but even so...

Streaming is shit.
Searching is shit.
Researching is shit.
Shopping is shit.
Troubleshooting is shit.
My phone is shit. Autocorrect, touchscreen keyboards, Bluetooth, AI, Android Auto, Spotify, all shit.

It's not even capitalism or consumerism, I'm just tired of arguing and fighting with things I own.

After 14yrs, the RickRoll is no more. It's finally been taken down.

Another internet meme bites the dust.

youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXc just shows an error msg now. 😞

this is making me wonder what if you made a build of doom that didn't precompute the geometry tables at all and randomized the value of pi every frame youtu.be/_ZSFRWJCUY4

is there some sort of free fairly basic pure midi editor with piano roll that functions like the ones from the 90s? my main experience making/editing midis was with Evolution MIDI which is mostly a cubase ripoff for win3.11 and searching for anything today either brings up expensive DAWs or opensource music sheet-only that needs big brains

Hey! Did you know I once put #Doom and #gameboy (playable!) on credit card machines? Or ported Wordle to #PalmOS ? I've been plumbing all sorts of #tech into all sorts of other tech professionally for almost a decade now (unprofesionally for 16 years!) with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of computers and low-level embedded code. I can also do killer hand-crafted #webdesign without relying on platforms or frameworks! And I can draw you in #pixelart for a modest price!

I'm currently 99% unemployable due to being legally in Brazil and physically in the UK. I've been without a stable income for 2 years now and I desperately need something my way. If you know of any commission or contract work that won't bug me with where I am geographically, please let me know!

i wish i could feel happy and content in the solid hard fact that i don't and will never understand and nobody can ever teach me, quaternions

It's Friday night, it's cold outside and I'm still working on that whole social life thing, so here's a long rambly thread about the 15-pin PC gameport and its historical significance, because it's something I want to practice writing about at length (if anyone was silly enough to give me a PhD for something, it'd be for this nonsense).

Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your thing - or if it is, bookmark it for later, or prepare to be en-knowledge-ified!

The cool part about living by myself is that I can make an absolute disgusting mess eating and nobody will know unless I broadcast it to several hundred people online

it is very interesting to me how in 2024 with fiber hrwiki.org still loads just as slow as it did in 2007 on dialup on a pentium III
