trans day of donate me about US$1000 so i should make a mean backpack. Thread below:

added an nginx useragent directive to make my website render correctly on google chrome

i can make websites. i made this entire website. i did not design this website, but i laid it out and programmed it entirely with Hugo so that the designer who commissioned it could update its extremely customised content without needing my help. i can make a website like this for you indigotrance.com

i haven't had a stable job in almost 2 years now please look at my stuff and tell your software engineering recruiters about the best programmer in the world (me) mynameiser.in

tell me reply guys if memory and storage are so cheap like you keep telling me when i complain about full hard drive woes (yet you won't buy them for me, curious) then how come scrappy little startups like google keep trying to invent shitty new lossy compression schemes and are about to start deleting inactive content in their servers? surely they can just pop down to the shops and pick up a couple of hard drives too

Anonymous asked: what's your dream computer/game console/thing that you want?

i have far too many beige whales. in general stuff with: nice tactile media (cartridges or floppies), ease of getting software for (legally or otherwise), interesting things to do with (does it have cool games, can i use the software without it being frustrating), relatively easy to make new software for. the Amiga 600 for me fails a bit in the ease of use but it's the closest to a syste[...]

companies keep asking us to "go ad-free" but get uppity when we install ublock origin. make up your damn minds

@damianogerli the second post in your thread has not federated to this instance, but, wrt SA-GCCX: again, that's piracy. we can debate whether or not that's a moral thing until the cows come home, but it means commercial success is invariably dead on arrival. you and i know the show because we're terminally online, but a vast majority of gamers today never frequented web forums such as the one those fansubs originated in and still carry in their name

@damianogerli i'm gonna go ahead and wager a guess that a lot of the lack of recognition comes from a lack of an official, legal release outside of japan (when arino went to the USA it was pretty much a given everybody who went to meet him watched the show via piracy)

as for why there was no attempt at a localization after the "retro game master" thing bombed, beats me

So, real talk: why does GameCenter CX gets so little recognition as one of the most important transmission on games ever? Considering it's been going on for 20 years, I wonder almost no one has recognized how it predated so many current trends: retrogame mania, nostalgia, let's play, how we talk about retro games, etc

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-pri

That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!
