Codeberg's migration tool is incredible! i was fully prepared to push all my repos manually and start with a clean slate, but having them deep copy all of the issues and pull requests and branches so faithfully is really nice!

a DDoS attack against Codeberg now who would want to take down Codeberg immediately after they got press for a major project leaving Github for them 🤔

i decided to start moving stuff over to my existing Codeberg account and it immediately goes down i guess everyone else had the same idea

"During this period, Boston officials had wide authority to ban works featuring "objectionable" content, and often banned works with sexual content or foul language. This even extended to the $5 bill from the 1896 "Educational" series of banknotes featuring ... figures that were partially nude."

this seems like a really cool idea i bet i know some small streamers who would have fun with this

one of my old friends is super gullible and has a better imagination than reasoning ability and so a major part of our relationship has been me calling him out for being an idiot often publicly because that is where he chose to have the conversation

i buried the lede in an earlier post in this thread and so people have started attacking me for finding Spotify's recommendation feature useful before i stopped using the service lol the assumptions people make are so funny truly making up a guy to be mad at

the power company emailed me to say that i used half the electricity as the previous month yeah because i could finally turn the AC off

"See, the nice part about being fluid in all areas is, I don't have to choose anything. I'm greedy. I get what I want. I can get all the things. I get all the genders, all the partners ... " @erikaishii.bsky.social is just saying what we are all thinking! www.instagram.com/reel/DRc5PKt...

Brazil out here roasting the US healthcare system

holy shit Shinji is being used to promote a real clinical trial for depression

the only piracy that matters is corporate piracy the first science fiction film was made in France and stolen by corporations for profit in the US, one of the factors that drove that early studio out of business

remaking Southland Tales and replacing all of the SNL cast with people from Dropout and Smosh

years ago, before i ever heard about UBI or anything, i had a dream where i was wondering through a city doing odd jobs in a world where nobody was forced to work to survive it was specifically the "drudge" jobs i was doing, just to help people out, there was literally no monetary benefit

discovered that the LLM-slop-centric code editor Zed started providing an option to disable all "AI" features with a single click during onboarding months ago yet @firefox.com refuses to give us this option, instead force-re-enabling it during updates the world is a silly upside down place

disabling all of the "smart" features on Gmail has actually made it a lot easier to see what is going on and delete and unsubscribe from newsletters

absolutely gorgeous!

if anyone is looking for a Christmas gift for me...

looking at the milk that goes bad before i can use it and the milk that tastes better and lasts longer and it is significantly cheaper to throw out mediocre milk than to buy better milk and that frustrates me

wait is lauriewired a psyop

you know that XKCD about people who play games a half a decade late and the guy runs in screaming that the cake is a lie? what a funny joke anyway you ever hear of this show called "Severance"?

one example is that i like creating branchless algorithms in C/asm i created one which can perform an absolute value operation in just a handful of basic instructions that are available on just about every processor going back to the 6502 a related algorithm decays a signed integer towards zero

sometimes i do something cool but i do not know *how* cool it is because i do not know anyone with an overlapping area of interest so friends and family are either like "why tho" or "i have no idea what those words mean but it sounds impressive" but more often both

just got around to playing Stray Gods finished it in one sitting good stuff i hope they keep doing other things in the future

woke up from a dream that abruptly turned into a nightmare the more well known segments of the baseline test were referenced in it but in looking it up in my notes this is the part that hits home now

those are all multiplayer games where somebody can teach you but in single player games they really want to focus on giving you "wins" early on to hook you on the dopamine hit, which also means creating lots of gates so if you did not pay attention and you fail at an early gate you might just quit

i really need to up my patch notes game

one of the only things i miss from Windows is Sysinternals Process Explorer the GUI and TUI tools available for Linux are generally hilariously incompetent like Gnome's System Monitor failing to understand how to sort grouped processes by CPU usage and trying to see open files crashes it lol

younger me would be absolutely baffled that there are a bunch of Batman movies that i have no interest in watching not like even mad about it, i just do not care at this point i cannot imagine being excited about them what would it take to change that for me?

i still do not know what "macros" are in diet terms i have heard it for years and i have no interest in looking it up i just keep waiting for it to go away

and an audio/visual form of the same m.youtube.com/watch?v=guRk...

Caves of Qud really went all-in on the Solarized color scheme, eh?

i always thought "controlled opposition" was a bit of over the top rhetoric but considering that they used only people who were not going to run for re-election in an attempt to create plausible deniability? it is so blatant and horrific i think primaries are not enough

i am of the opinion that billionaire are - as a class - deeply miserable people and even from the utility monster perspective there is no justifiable reason for such a class to exist

just discovered that the musician behind one of the first psytrance albums i ever bought signed an anti-genocide open letter in September he also chose a very specific bandcamp url lol here is the album! therealtronalddump.bandcamp.com/album/existe...

i keep a bunch of tabs open for videos i want to get to decide to watch one that had been sitting for a few days within the first 10 seconds they shout out DHH and Hyprland i said "nice, i can skip this one" and closed the tab

that was not the ideal way to discover that the milk has gone off

the thing that scares me the most about youtube comments is that there is clearly an upper threshold upon which a person reaches they are compelled to mention their age - no matter how irrelevant it is to the comment and i wait in terror as that time rapidly approaches for me

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

last year or so i happened to be nearby the construction site and had no idea what it was but i thought it looked terrible, i sat there trying to figure out how it would look when it was complete it does not look much different i like brutalist architecture - like, *like* like it but this aint it

i have played like half a dozen different crosswords from different sources in the last week and several of then have used "Ono" on the board via one hint or another all referring to the same person

what ever did crossword puzzle designers do before the public became aware of Yoko Ono??

one of the major issues with MRU lists and similar is that they can be detrimental to proficiency similar to the complaints i have seen about how bad fuzzy search is both can be powerful tools, properly tuned, but they often are not and rarely configurable by users without modifying the source

installed Solus KDE on my laptop a few weeks ago and it is incredible i just opened my laptop that was in my bag for like a week and the screen came on it had properly switched to low power all this time, and still has 19% battery life i have not even had a Windows laptop capable of this

Affinity giving all of their products away for free and *only* charging for genAI is the funniest business decision i have ever seen
