@hikari I refuse to believe that anyone, anywhere has ever actually compiled chrome. the binaries are some sort of divine artifact

megacorp-scale software projects are so unsustainable. if your project's source code is larger than a gigabyte or takes more than a few minutes to compile… god, i'd rather sacrifice a months of my time writing a smaller alternative than have to suffer through building it

Here's some top tier gaming tips from one pro gamer to another

Discord is adding verified domain connections, similar to Bluesky handles

Good morning, folks. Have a sysadmin tip:

When you ssh to a remote system, make it a habit to run either `screen` or `tmux` first. Always. Even for just a quick little command.

That way, when your crap ISP monopoly drops your connection for no reason whatsoever, your remote command won't be SIGHUP'd, & you can resume with `screen -r` or `tmux attach` when they decide your connection can be restored.

John Cusack is tweeting out some of the dirty secrets of Hollywood accounting -- and it's pretty illuminating.

i wanted to experiment with Unicode in #uxn, so i wrote a little program that reads, decodes and displays each GNU Unifont glyph in the Basic Multilingual Plane, one at a time… at 60fps :3

the result is pretty mesmerising!

holy shit, the EU made it a legal requirement that you can upload custom firmware to any battery you legally own

I'm looking for a fediverse app that can provide what I can only describe as a "pseudo-algorithmic timeline highlights" within a settable timeframe (say, the past 24 hours)

just so I can see, in no particular order, things like:

* most popular posts by people I follow, or things they've RT'd
* a random assortment of posts from people I follow who I interact with a lot

I'm *not* asking for Twitter-esque content-judging/context-deriving/advertiser-friendliness-scoring, or for it to suddenly decide that someone isn't worth seeing because they said the word "fuck".

all I'm looking for is the fusion of extremely basic metrics ("how popular is a post" + "do I interact with this person often") to present a highlight reel of the past 24 hours.

I don't think that's too difficult or invasive.

it has been ZERO DAYS since I have been asked to "agree" or "accept" the GPL
