if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

every time surprising myself whenever i re-realize everything that people have branded me as an "evil abuser" for was simply me setting boundaries and pointing out when others were breaking them

anyway just wasted several hours trying to cross-compile something that i could probably have waited for the tiny 1ghz pocketchip compile itself

i really wish cross-compiling was possible. you'd think we should be able to use multiple-ghz machines to compile for smaller ones. oh well

sometimes i really wish i knew at least one other person who knows how to compile things to pick their brain

i wish i could make any programmer friends, lol

this post brought to you by me trying to run fs-uae on a pocketchip

Show thread

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

fs-uae-launcher is massive and doesn't fit on a 800x480 screen, i have to use X11 forwarding to set things on another computer, and i can't even find where the system settings for video etc are being stored, it sure as hell isn't on either of the folders it creates in .config

fs-uae is miserable to use on anything but the latest and greatest huh

oh, oh, laptop speakers, everybody's always selling gutted laptop spare parts

Show thread

by which i mean i'm more upset that i can't easily find loose parts like this in-country so that shipping is quicker

Show thread

i need a tiny speaker and i don't know what to rip one out of without having to order parts from china (i have no issue ordering parts from china, i just want one now)

when i last talked about this when my fiancée linked a kitchen appliance shop website from the UK that i couldn't see for the same reason, someone asked me "what? does it happen that often?"

yes. yes it does

Show thread

it has been 0 days since i've ran into a website i never heard of before having wording that means that i, personally, am arbitrarily blocked from viewing it, because i decided to spawn in the wrong part of the world

but when china does it, it's an outrage

(and if i get it running on this kernel there's no guarantee it'll work on the stock 4.4 kernel)

Show thread

i have never used tic-80 but someone asked if the pocketchip can run it and now i'm half-tempted to try compiling it but their cmake system seems like a mess

Show thread

yeah no shit i don't want to release my code, with the attitude they have after i say i won't
