The train knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't. It isn't on the ground therefore it must be on the tracks.

"Cryptocurrency that tries to base on proof of contribution to open source projects sparks wave of bogus pull requests" isn't the headline I expected to see in the--

No actually, I expected this from the moment I saw it, because we had the exact same problem with something far more trivial: a t-shirt for making a contribution.

When are we gonna learn that "Go make a PR, any PR, get a cookie" is a net loss for effort put forth for project maintainers and this must, absolute must, be opt-in?

it's only an analogue if it comes from the analogue region of france, otherwise it's just a sparkling famiclone

Common bass principles for good ergonomics: alternating plucking fingers or strumming direction, economy of motion, raking, usually sticking to the lower notes of the strings

Me: flamenco strumming 8ths at 130bpm with my whole fucking hand on a 6-string while barring drop-tuned power chords above the 12th fret

okay the files written by the game LONESTAR are weird. They're JSON files, but if you look at them, they're base64 encoded.

so you base64 decode them, and they're... binary files?

to all haters: this is an actual, real Ghidra instance living inside of a Minecraft client, open with a real executable of FFXIV

You reverse engineer executables with the Ghidra UI. I reverse engineer executables with a Minecraft command so I can read decompiler output while fishing. We are not the same

@ryanc hi!
i wanted to say thanks for your work.
i'm a new (1 year) UK immigrant; agender, always wanted an X, though my country of origin is never going to introduce that and i eventually settled on F as a good enough substitute.
even then i donated a few hundred over the months. the UK should really get their shit together, and it's a shame that it takes someone's personal effort to get them to do this; something i'm all too familiar with.
good luck, and i hope we win

Imagine you wanted to hire some people to read books. Your books are in French. You can't hire French people (too expensive!) so you hire English people, but you make sure every book has a "how to read French" chapter (in English) at the beginning.

Now understand that this is how the Apple II disk drive works.

Trans people don't own gender. We stole it the same way Prometheus stole fire, so it would be available to everyone.

You're welcome.
