"Win32 is the stable Linux ABI", or so the shitposting goes

ever wanted to take that idea and run with it?

here are some demonstrations of the mechanisms by which a process running in Wine can access native Linux code, in case it's ever useful for performance or for something which Wine doesn't emulate (well)

only a mild amount of coding crimes were committed in the making of this post

Varför ökar elnätavgifterna så mycket?

Jo för att den statliga myndigheten Energimarknadsinspektionen tillåter att monopolföretagen använder "nuanskaffningsmetoden". Detta innebär att de får ta betalt som om alla ledningar var nya. Som exempelvis den här:

I am going to need security bloggers who clearly understand why the AI-in-everything push is a problem to stop using diffuser-generated images to illustrate their every single fucking article.

Go and use woodcuts by 15th century printmaker and all-round pretty boy about town Albrecht Dürer instead if you're running out of ideas.

I haven't watched the Tour de France in probably 15 years

Cyclist and bikes come straight from SPACE now !

@mayintoronto This guy got around 700 people to come out and watch him fold a fitted sheet.

"Comedian Dan Boerman arrived in Wellington jetlagged and delirious, but he had a plan. On Monday afternoon, in front of a raucous crowd on Cuba Street, he would perform his ability to fold a fitted sheet to all."

someone said there are no CGA nerds, there are only CGA sickos.

I take offense to that, I can be both

I love the ceramic disc insulators on the power lines along the river (and elsewhere) here, ringed and so vivid against the summer sky.

Should it ever be needed, I think I've found the perfect name for a legendary sword.

I just realized it's weird that most people seem to think that zero-gravity "Vomit Comet" flights achieve free fall by diving straight down, instead of following a parabolic arc up and over like they really do. Because that's actually a thing commonly done in everyday life, when stealing a bite of something drippy from a plate across the table. You do a little bouncing motion, and then move it up and over in an arc to your own plate, trying to keep everything in freefall so the drips follow the fork and don't fall on the table on the way. It's the exact same maneuver!

Everybody made fun of the toolbars-on-toolbars design of Microsoft Word 6 or whatever but at least those icons utilized color and made some sort of attempt to express what their purpose was

I fuckin hate whatever school of UI design this is. It's all over Adwaita apps also and by itself it makes me groan when I learn an app has switched to Adwaita
