I seriously think Trump is about to pass away from whatever is wrong with him. He’s acting like a man who knows the end is here.

Pop quiz: under what circumstances in the C programming language would you design a structured type with only a single scalar member value?

Having had relationships with both men and women, I can tell you that my experience is that “love is love” is a load of old bollocks. Heterosexual and homosexual relationships differ in many ways. Not a matter of one being superior or inferior to the other, but they are not the same.

I should teach C programming. So much C code is slovenly. It’s like nobody knows what an opaque type is.

Today I feel like people are tired of me.

NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!!

Why is everyone holding their lavalier mics? That's why we have lavalier mics, so you don't have to hold them!

I know it’s copaganda, but I enjoy Law and Order: SVU for the fantasy of nonces and predators brought to justice. I think we could all agree that nobody minds seeing that.

I’m so tired of living in a reality that’s too stupid to be fiction. If I wrote down the plot line of reality the last ten years, and showed it to someone who didn’t know it was real, they’d call me a hack.

It literally is the inevitable result. Put perverts and AI together and the outcome is not in doubt. That’s no cause for not prosecuting the entire company from janitors to CEO.

Saw a post theorizing you now encounter more people listening to things on speakers in public spaces because Apple banning the headphone jack did not result in people switching to Bluetooth headphones, it resulted in people abandoning headphones. I'm on an airplane RN and. Thinking about that. Hard.

I’m mad that I can’t express myself properly without getting censured.

How do video essays people learn to do the editing and stuff?

Surrendering the language of morality to the right is the great failure of the left.

At this point, China deserves a turn running the world. Fuck Russia and the US.

Sure wish there were some example code in C for sprite multiplexing on the C64. It's just not an area I have any experience with. @martinpiper.bsky.social, you feel like getting nerdsniped?

Gonna say this again: as a way for an X11 server to talk to hardware without having to have its own drivers, Wayland is fine.

If you don’t want to use MS Office now that it’s Copilot, try the alternatives. LibreOffice, SoftMaker Office, iWork, whatever. Just try them all and use what fits you.

95% of what I do in an average day can be done with six XTerm windows and a copy of XPDF. Don’t test me.

I would rather use XVESA and Motif and BDF fonts the rest of my life than use AI-generated OS code.

I'm tired of living in a world where so many of the most powerful people are such pathetic fucking losers

What’s bothering me is the distinct possibility that we’re being played - that Maduro wasn’t captured, but handed himself over as part of a plan that ends with him on an estate in Dubai or somewhere, having traded his nation for a retirement package. A deal the US took to keep oil trading in USD.

Thank you to the team at @heise.de online for taking the Commodore 64 Ultimate for a spin and putting together such a thoughtful review. www.heise.de/tests/Commod...

This is going to sound elitist as hell. I’m genuinely sorry for that. I’m sick of living in a world where people who got all D grades in school are in charge of people who got straight A grades.

New Big Picture! Want to see a man in his mid-40s complain about a "MALCOM IN THE MIDDLE" reboot existing? ...well, that's what we're doing today 🤷‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqBQ...

Thank you for the heads up past gamer 🐛

By my measurements, admittedly unscientific and informal, measure, the C64 Ultimate can run C code about eight to ten times faster than the OG C64 can run assembly. It depends on the code and the compiler, of course. But still, that’s a lot of power at your disposal maybe going unused?

Okay, i can read data from files using standard C functions, no KERNAL mucking about needed. Good. C64 KERNAL file I/O is a shitshow. This means that as soon as I make reliable functions to copy data to and from expansion memory, I can then load the REU easily from disk.

Okay. Repairs done for the night. Now I can get to coding a bit before bed. So far, I have the CPU speed setting function working as intended. It disables badlines, and gooses the CPU to 48MHz. Whatever performance problems I had at 1MHz I definitely will not have now.

I feel deeply cynical about people who spent years mocking artists and models for “e-begging” and now want to talk about general strike Like sir Online fundraising would be a primary structural pillar for a major strike

Thanks for support! I dare hope for decent meals the next couple days if this keeps up.

last chance to grab kitsune tails at 33% off!

I don’t expect you guys to fix my roof for me, that’s way more than I can ask, but if I could maybe get a small hand buying some food since all my money has just been paid to patch this shit that’d be epic.

By the great @annienocenti.bsky.social Daredevil #283 (1990)

Fucks sake. Well. This is my day. I get to supervise a temporary roof repair in hopes of holding on until I can somehow find the money for a proper new roof on this house. Anyone got $15,000 to spare?

The thing they are going to have to understand about Canada is that it's a "kill'em with kindness, but if kindness doesn't work then kill'em with violence so brutal they make it into a war crime" kind of place

if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Canada is part of NATO and it's entire army are special force trained in something... Plus they have home turf and look and talk like Americans... The guerrilla warfare would be horrific. Add to that, that a bunch of the Geneva conventions were written because of what Canadians did in WW2.

Can't we skip straight to the dystopian wasteland? I know people always say it's not the destination it's the journey, but I'd rather be living in the ruins of civilisation than having to sit and watch the collapse.

God fucking damn it. Roof leak. This shit is going to ruin me I swear.

Make no mistake. I blame the American left as much as the right. Maybe more so. The right are ontologically evil, they can’t choose good. The left has no such excuse.

My days of holding the soft American left in contempt are certainly coming to a middle.

The fundamental problem here is that we live in a world that has supervillains but no superheroes.

“Are we the baddies?” My dude. My friend. My sweet summer child. Yes. You always have been.

For fucks sake. I fucked up the juggling and now I’m overdrawn in my chequing account. Have to have the wife send me money to cover it. Now I’m grumpy.

Hillary Clinton's campaign was a disaster but she was right to call them deplorables

I keep seeing people say this about regime change and oil, and I honestly wonder if that gives him too much credit. Hurting people and taking things he is not allowed to take is what gives him life. This isn't a distraction from the Epstein files, it's a continuation of them.

Trump is a moron, he talks like a moron, he knows nothing like a moron. The people who support him are mostly also morons. But instead of making them feel bad for being morons we go on endless kumbayah listening tours where we reassure them they’re doing nothing wrong and we’ll pander even better

Without exaggeration this is a huge part of how we surrendered the country to the worst humans of all time - the left-of-center’s conviction that you can’t be disrespectful to stupid people to has robbed us of the social censure that forces stupid people to stop being stupid
