"Tylenol causes autism" is wrong. It's *obviously* wrong. It's important to emphasize this is objectively a lie. But moreso it needs to be driven home that people spewing this shit think autism is some horrible thing that needs to be cured and that you're a defective and inferior human if you have.

cpu herfindahl index. for every computer you actively use take the number of cpu cores each one has divided by the total, square each number, and add them up

still fully of the opinion that posting a screenshot of news, without an actual link to the news article, should get you beaten with sticks

Yesn't.

about fifteen to twenty tumblr fan comics have led me to believe that in chapters 3 and 4 of deltarune ralsei is revealed canonically to be trans. i dont think i have to tag this as a spoiler because i have no way of knowing if its true or not but i will not be playing the game to find out either

It would be nice if Bluesky had Polls, tbh. I legit need to gather a couple of answers for my thing, ideally before next year, lol (/Jk, no rush, I'm just impatient sometime 😹)

we need a bluesky version of the long defunct ace attorney court bot

Dragons: Principles, Techniques, and Tools

among all the difficulty debates, i wonder where "silent, dynamic difficulty adjustment" comes into play, and how many games will subtly alter mechanics around things, rather than fixed challenges

i just passed the turing test

sorry everyone. cohost is great and all but i just found out how to do something way cooler: the fourier transform

i think amd should proudly become the first x86 vendor to proudly support paged real mode outside of virtualization. and once we have that we can start demanding 64 bit real mode

[food?] scientists are discussing new hypothetical n-bean salads

im surprised neither intel nor amd have developed a cpu with two pipeline frontends, one for x86 and one that basically just bit shuffles mips or arm instructions into the same microoperations

well guess who found out about discords inactive account policy today. the really really hard way

new idea. run mac os on the ps4

LORD LET ME LEARN MUSIC SOFTWARE... i have so many half-ideas that will never make it out of my notes app if i can't figure ts out 🥀

dos was a secret plot by microsoft to make developers write one hundred programs that only run if youre in the one operating mode the 386 could have just left out entirely

i started reading the cobol on that floppy disk i have and found the funniest thing in the world. now reproduced below DISPLAY "I AM FINE". COMPUTE Z = X - Y. DISPLAY Z. EXIT PROGRAM.

if the singular of mutices is mutex then the singular of precipices is obviously precipex. why is no one talking about this

tumblr is presently in a 'juggling lab' phase posting gifs made in it, hence one of foones recent keyboards, but honestly to me nothing will ever top 2015 classic post 'i am the final boss. defeat me and save your world...'

'x is inherently better than wayland,' 'wayland is inherently better than x,' and secret third thing internet discourse hasnt discovered yet. 'there isnt anything wrong with wayland on paper but its been five years since i switched and i still cant have feature parity with x'

are you too fucking stupid to know how to make your photos better? don't worry, we got rid of those pesky tools and replaced them with dog shit

gpt 7 will come out, 1000 people will put in a prompt like "reverse all the letters in the word for the number of o's in ornithological" and post the wrong answer it gives, everyone who hates ai categorically will go 'its impossible for a computer to be intelligent' and every tech millionaire […]

swapping my primary monitor from a 4k 60hz to a 1440p 144hz one. chose my side in the resolution war

what many people do not realize is every assembly language is actually incredibly mundane. even the cisc ones

(pointing over my shoulder at a spinning wheel) well you know what thats called. thats Mode 7, and before november 1990 no one ever did it

also really bugs me when people say the genesis can 'do mode 7.' thats like saying python 'does javascript' when what you really mean is theyre both turing complete

"how can you tell" 1. first: after a few minutes, ua switch from desktop to iPhone, loading the homepage (failed) 2. about 20 seconds later: an iphone hit from the homepage, from the same region (but now a mobile provider), that 3. immediately navigates to the same category they were scraping

from discord: "my `respectful-scraper` user agent is getting a lot of questions already answered by my user agent"

speaking of web hosting, bills, and nightmares, dreamhost (web host) and state farm (car insurance) both showed up this month and want a combined $1,000, so if you wanna help out with that it would be pretty rad bsky.app/profile/xkee...

sony computer entertaintment has announced a new idle game. Virtual Prometheus

this has me thinking in hardware/gate level terms, that a smallish logic circuit can generate the correct addresses when written with a couple of bytes in its address space. hell, the circuit could generate a jump address to use in an indexed/indirect jmp insn

'cross assembling a jump table from 6502 to x86 is too hard' words of a Fool. with enough prefix padding we can make the length of every generated x86 instruction a multiple of its 6502 equivalent, making pointers translatable between the two with o(1) overhead. checkmate

earthbound has c code in it????????????????????????

a/b testing rules. i love mass gaslighting. what do you mean you don't see [feature]? it's brand new, right under [menu]

'100% emulation accuracy' is just kind of a made up thing for the most part. and in fact it is secretly in opposition to '100% game compatibility' as well you see many video games are simply programmed wrong

Wait what, Virtua Boy? Holy SHIT!

remember lifeblood? that riscv computer we were developing? well, we just publicly released the operating system! it's even (barely) usable! check it out (: voremicrocomputers.com/blog/posts/l...

she loves orange for an amazing reason youtu.be/4uPMG7S2f3g

i don't know where i was going with that thought. retro games are crts now.

Having a bit more time to think about it, the "oh, well, it's hyperbole, he goes over why it doesn't really matter in the video" is like... okay, great, but the very first thing you see is "TESTS PASSED: 5/125". it's dishonest from the start. "youtube's just like that" I know, and I hate it!

you can ship a c development kit without a libc if youd like. thats what the c compiler and assembler are for making

you should be able to listen to music and watch tv at the same time. or west a hat and show off your hair

are there even any real websites meant for children anymore or did those all get blown off the world sometime in the past 10 years when i wasnt looking
