tolerating huge fucking assholes in tech is a security attack surface

I feel like this is too late to qualify as lousy smarch weather
when making eclipse totality plans I hadn't been accounting for trying to find a location that wasn't knee deep in snow

On the one hand, there's that Douglas Adams quote about irrationally hating technologies that appear after the age of 35
On the other hand, when you're over 35, you're old enough to remember that they're re-using the same lie that they told you, two tech hype cycles ago

it's still april 1st in my timezone, but I don't feel like typing up some fake story to go along with this. WordHopper now has a (experimental) port to PowerPC-based Macs on OS X! If you've purchased the game, you should have access to the download via itch.
(mockup boxart is a parody of Puyo Puyo Fever's mac boxart)

Someone's cat. Taken on a Panasonic SDR-H86 camcorder on February 16th, 2011. Found on the camcorder when I bought it on eBay in 2024.

Did you know: Microsoft released a version of Entertainment Pack for Game Boy Color, so you could play Solitaire, Minesweeper and even SkiFree on the go

#embedded #linux heads: i'm trying to change the boot animation on my #pocketchip. i can change the plymouth theme and update-initramfs and it shows the theme i picked. i cannot for the life of me preview plymouth without rebooting the computer, trying to debug plymouthd under x simply fails to use graphical mode and all i can previeiw is the fallback text boot splash. but on a real boot it works fine. help me not reboot my device a hundred times to test new themes

On PLATO, you could press SHIFT-space to move your cursor back one space and then if you typed another character, it would appear on top of the existing character.
Below are just some examples of smileys and emoticons

i wish it was easier on linux to grab shit-old emulators that have piss-poor accuracy but can run on your grandma's 486. rolling releases are great for support until all of the software it brings needs a quadcore with fuck-you ram

https://youtu.be/GgDxXDV4_hc holy shit this is freaky. i did NOT expect it to make that sound. fucking bizarre the kind of shit that can happen with our modern physics lifehacks like AM radio towers.
this is part of why it’s so buckwild to me that a 200‐foot tower in Alabama just up and disappeared last month. whoever pulled off that heist had to know *exactly* what they were doing for this to not happen to them.
"hmm, maybe i should bike to the store tomorrow," i say, and within minutes it begins raining hard enough to hear through the roof

Rogue: The Solitaire-Like! I wrote this set of rules for a dungeon-crawling Rogue-like using only a deck of playing cards, some years ago, never fully finishing it. Today I've decided to publish it to itch as a prototype. Feedback (or tips?) encouraged.
