15 years ago, I worked on a game that ran at 60Hz on a 333Mhz cpu on the PSP. It animated skinned transforms for a dozen rigs, transformed maybe 20k triangles and rasterized them, decoded and mixed music, and a dozen other things, all in 16ms. I think about that a lot when things are slow on my 100x faster computer.

Been meaning to post this for like a month. A friend Hex Husky stayed at my place for a night after a con. We were exhausted after the con but just had to take come suit pics together. Hex is a sweetie. #fursuitfriday #fursuit #furry

This weekend… I’m just relaxing on the couch 💤

I remember someone saying that corporate run social media can never replace a well moderated community that takes care of its users

Oh wait, it was me because the Singal situation is an inevitability when your existence relies on pleasing as many people as possible

Love* to live in a country that has to maintain a register of bullshit health claims. I don't know what features in the most bullshit claims, Omega 3 appeared next to 31 bullshit claims.

I'm happy to announce the *Libreboot 3050 Micro*:

https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-3050-micro/

This is a Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro with Libreboot pre-installed, replacing Dell's proprietary UEFI firmware. Your choice of Debian Linux, other distro or BSD.

Libreboot offers greater security and faster boot speeds than Dell's firmware. This is a 7th gen mainboard; it replaces the larger Libreboot 9020SFF.

Discord has rolled out an annoying new "feature" where now it sends push notifications every time someone reacts to a message with an emoji. This can be turned off in settings > notifications

Progress!
The code is a huge buggy mess, and 2 of the displays are prototypes, so need to be re printed to one degree or another. Aaaaaaand they all need to be properly calibrated again.
Still a huge amount of work to do before we can think about the casing, and we've not even touched the eInk display yet,
BUT it IS progressing.

One of the major RF test equipment suppliers (Rohde & Schwarz) has published a FREE 129 page technical note on making common measurements using a spectrum analyzer. While focused on using R&S equipment, many measurements are also applicable for those with other brands (even lower cost home lab equipment like TinySA-Ultra, etc.). Includes background theory and how-to-measure step-by-step walk throughs. A fun read for geeks!

I refuse the title of troublemaker

I much prefer the term "contempt creator"
