Oh lord, "The Simpsons" really is going to be the key to coping with IP that chooses not to end just because a certain point of the 'fandom' decides it's time.

"I don't understand why any of the things in this trailer are happening!? How is ____ there?? Why is ____???" I just... not even in reference to the 'AVENGERS' thing. It's like - that's what a *trailer is!* You're supposed to go "What's that about? Guess I'll go WATCH THE MOVIE to find out!" 🤣

Yea, look: I am SINCERELY uninvested in movie boxoffice discourse, especially for foregone conclusions like this. But I'm sorry, if "superhero fatigue!" and/or "Marvel killed culture!!!" are hills to die on for you? Ain't that kinda the non-racism version of Elon crashing out about "The Odyssey?"

Not pictured: The Indie Dev who invested eight years of their free time, and every other spare cent from their dead-end day-job to make an incredible game people complain is overpriced at $15 and will never make enough money back to so much as break even on their investment.

the Z80 is now 50 years old, 50 years of being slightly worse than the MOS 6502 *runs off*

My table at Z80 @ 50. I was exhibiting some extremely rare Z80 based machines.

Someone should start a rumour that AI causes low testosterone.

so now it's known that russia caused Brexit and helped trump steal the election yet the world still doesn't grasp the danger of not destroying the decaying and oozing russian empire russia's goal it to make all of our lives as awful as theirs wake up to the real threat or lose your freedom

Love this visualization of the 6502 instruction set. May you JMP for joy as you digest this ;) #retrocomputing #coding

It's weird that an army of guys who never leave their houses deciding to boycott a movie didn't have more of an effect.

It’s incredibly small and incredibly astroturfed.

Cut off a Tesla 3x and goaded the driver into driving straight into a speed trap at 85mph \o/

The absolute gut punch of seeing mentors and heroes fall for the ai grift. Seeing their avatars flip to ugly generated art, their posts start to read like they were generated… lashing out at people who’ve clearly privately tried to walk them back to reality. We’re losing a lot of 50+ nerds to this

I may be reduced to begging for alms to make it through any given month, and I may have fucked my personal life up flatter than hammered shit, and my home may be falling to rack and ruin, but at least I still have my own skills intact, such as they are. I haven’t lost my brains to a slop extruder.

For the lack of any other skills, I am a programmer. I may never again be a self supporting one, but what talents I have I will lend to building a future we actually want.

Twin Peaks: Sarah Palmer stares wide-eyed in terror. (Frank Silva a member of the film crew can be seen in the mirror. This was unintentional and considered a happy accident. Frank would later go on to play BOB).

It's been like 20 years since I worked for a Yum! brands franchise, but I can tell you that if you tried to wiggle out of failing a District, Area, Ecolab, or Corporate inspection on food safety on cleanliness because you passed the local regulatory inspection, you would be laughed out of the room.

The documents that Trump released and endorsed clearly validate and detail a massive Russian intelligence service operation to elect Donald Trump of which he and his entourage were aware and in which they knowingly participated. Russiagate is real, we learn.

Like if I was that kid who made "OBSESSION?" You'd best believe my first move after seeing those numbers would be telling the studio: "Yes, please 'Jason' the hell out of my Monkey's Twig movie. Decades of sequels and MERCH and %%% for me." Spirit Halloween about to buy my Mom a new house.

We made it somewhat socially unacceptable to use various versions of "gay" as a pejorative and ALL of the replacements have been different levels of weird and embarassing

Cartoon: Know your mutants! With thanks to @costello.bsky.social for making me think about this :)

Not that you needed to know this but it's confirmed: This is a nothingburger.

Watching police body cam footage on YouTube has me convinced that High School needs to do a better job teaching people what their rights are and aren’t. Also, it’s weird how people go to jail meekly but lose their fudge if you tow their car.

My body is a machine that turns pizza and beer into tiny C tutorials and venomous shitposts about nazis and quaaludes and the Commodore 64.

@microsoft.com should just go ahead and release MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 as open source if they want to really impress.

Just wait until they find out about the side effects of excess testosterone in a cis male body.

idk what if Nintendo made the GameCube 10x larger for some reason

Translation: Please send us a video of you, so we can see your ethnicity and age. Two things that we aren't allowed to hire/refuse based on, but totally will.

small farmer that gets divorced and then goes bankrupt because the wife was the one who actually handled running the farm, managing relations with retailers and repairsfolks while the husband just wanted to play with tractors all day is unsurprisingly common

The average Trump voter has the moral sense of a rabid wombat, the ravening blood thirst of a Nazi, and the soul of a broken toaster oven. One could purée the lot of them and filter the detritus through a sieve and still fail to find a molecule of humanity or virtue.

My “I’m not a pervert creep” t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions already answered by the shirt.

Scoop: The AI music generator Suno was hacked. Hacker shared source code that shows how the tool was made and part of the music and podcasts that were scraped to create it. Decades worth of music, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube, Deezer, Genius & more www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

What’s the state of the art in copyleft licenses not associated with GNU and the FSF? I should be able to license my software without associating with a confederacy of nonces.

Fucking A.I. If you can't do something, there will be a human who can. And for a fan project like this, you will find people willing to contribute for free because they just want to be involved. Using A.I. is inexcusable.

hot take: we fucked up when we let computers get so important to society that developers had to stop putting easter eggs into software because they were seen as unprofessional and untrustworthy

Man. Arkansas State Patrol troopers don’t fuck about. I grant you, if I had to deal with endless numbers of platoon strength dent headed, scrotum faced, whisky tango trailer spawn who might or might not try to shoot me on a “twenty times a day” basis, I’d be cranky too.

All of these tributes for Sam Niell and not one of them shows a screen grab from Event Horizon?

I'm a simple dinosaur; I see indie JRPG, I boost and follow. 💚🦕🌈

Does something like Aesprite play nice with drawing tablets? I haven't used it in yeaaars. Or maybe you wouldn't use those two things together?

convincing people that computers are smart was a huge mistake. computers are exactly as stupid now as they were in 1975, they're just much faster at stupid.

I really feel like it’s just good advice to live life in such a way that when you die, someone’s first reaction isn’t “oh thank god.”

$266 / $670 - thank you for your help!

University administration: "We need you to complete 26 hours of lab safety training 🧪 each year so that everyone is safe and responsible." Also university administration:

I think you absolutely should implement your own linked list, trie, b-tree, and encryption as a learning exercise. Just never, ever use that code in anger. You did not think of everything, and `glib` already exists for a reason.

How old school am I? I use XFS over LVM over mdcrypt over mdraid instead of just using btrfs or ZFS like all the kids do these days. Because it's never lost a byte of data for me,

Attention: @clarissa.hadrosaurus.net

PROTIP: Don't bother learning C operator precedence. Use parentheses and save your brain meats for stuff that matters, like data structures and algorithms.

If you're reading this as "trump is about to end elections by fiat" and not as "oh the Senate is In Play in play" you have been made isolated and gullible by your political enemies and you are helping them win in the future
