to spell it out very clearly: curl, the command line utility, is not vulnerable in its default configuration because it happens to configure libcurl in a way that avoids this bug. But other applications that include libcurl are likely to be vulnerable

Gender is a lot like operating systems. People always assume you use one of the two big proprietary ones and if you don't, you're gonna have to deal with a lot of confusion and compatibility issues. On the plus side you get a lot more customisability and don't have to care about bullshit policies of the proprietary options.

on an instance with broken federation, nobody can hear you scream

ohhhhhhh i hate how everything tech in movies now is just holograms. no theory of interface, just "we'll get it in post." an article of convenience rather than speculation, untethered from the material conditions of reality

‪oh, and your regular reminder that if you want to help me keep doing stuff like this, https://liberapay.com/hikari_no_yume/ and https://github.com/sponsors/hikari-no-yume/ are two ways to do that. I'm very grateful for any support.‬

at long last, I am pleased to announce the "touchHLE app compatibility database"!

https://appdb.touchhle.org/

instead of a manually curated "app compatibility list", there's now a database that anyone can contribute to. if you find an iPhone OS 2.x app that works, you can add it!

some notes:

  • all reports are moderated before they become public
  • as a precautionary measure, you can't submit a new report if your previous report hasn't been approved yet. I know this is annoying, sorry. I may adjust this down the road if all goes well.
  • you can upload screenshots! yay
  • please bear in mind that it's more useful to know about working apps than broken ones, and you should only test apps that have a chance of working (iOS 2 apps)

btw, I wrote the web app over the last 10 days and it's open source ^^ https://github.com/hikari-no-yume/app-compatibility-db

starting a project with a fake name policy. if you have an avatar that is a picture of your real face or your screen name is just your real name, you can't contribute

so, a friend has been trying to learn to program for the past year and a half or so, by doing coding puzzles. I've helped her a bit! when she wanted a bigger project, she started writing QR code generator entirely from scratch, in Rust, which is incredibly tricky. and look!! 😭

this is just an incredibly impressive feat to me, all things considered.

20 months ago she had no idea what a trait, or a generic type, or move/copy, or mutable reference, or lifetime, or were, and she definitely couldn't have written this then. it's so cool to watch someone you know learn a new skill!!!

(especially considering that there were long periods where she had to take a break from learning for various reasons)

one of these is the leaked official, original source code of Pokemon Emerald and one of these is a decompile made by hobbyists trying to reverse engineer what the game is doing

and you know I wouldn't be posting this if they were not, apparently, switched at birth.

this is extremely important:

Seen on a car, but considering this for my new Github avatar.

so uh, I should probably make microblog accounts for touchHLE already. I already run my own fediverse instance, but it's enough of a hassle to host my own posts, I don't want to host the touchHLE Brand Account™'s as well.

so uhh… are there any emulation-themed or emulation-friendly instances you could recommend?

Life CREATES the possibility of life. Life maintains an envelope inside which we live. We are BREAKING the balance. The Broken Balance Burns Forests. Burned Forests Don't Make Oxygen.

The Extra CO2 is Breaking the World.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Yuri Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret kisses on girls, and I have over 300 confirmed kisses. I am trained in kissing girls and I'm the top girlkisser in the entire girl kissing forces. You are nothing to me but just another girl. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with being gay to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that kisses the little thing you call your mouth. You're fucking gay, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kiss you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare lips. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed girlkissing, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Yuri Corps and I will use it to its full extent to kiss your face off the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "gay" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're being kissed, you goddamn lesbian. I will kiss all over you and you will gay. You're fucking gay, kiddo.
