When setting up a new VM last week it didn't have cron??

If you're still using Twitter/X in any capacity get the fuck off now. Cut ties entirely. Any following you have is not worth it. For any reason.

Me: I am a professional programmer, they pay me the big bucks to do this! Also me: Googles the syntax for malloc again

Happy New Year! To go with the recent Hardware update, I have an update from the OpenXHD firmware dev team for you. Thank you Clegg and everyone else on the dev team for your hard work! I also spent the last week reorganizing some hardware for an easier to hand assemble layout for the new board.

Merry Christmas Xbox fans! It has been two very challenging years, but work continues on the OpenXHD project. Hardware is complete, pending updates from the FW dev team. Speaking of which, there is a FW dev team! Things are moving along quicky now and I will have more news for you soon!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

while we're on the topic of what's the correct way to implement placeholders in your game, here is an excerpt of unfinished dialogue from the april 2000 prototype of spyro 3

My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

This is quality bait lol Using a LLM to sanitize form input? Are you insane? What the fuck has happened to front end web development??

Every project (main quest) has at least 3 tools that need to be made (side quests) to complete it

Xbox Media Center (XBMC) version 4.0 has been released! This is the first major revision to the Original Xbox's killer app since 2016, and brings the classic homebrew app into the modern era with features backported from mainline versions of Kodi. More info: www.xbox-scene.info/articles/ann...

I've said it before and I'll say it again We need to stop giving these shitty soulless live-action remakes any watchtime The only - and I mean ONLY - live action remake I would ever willingly watch is Emperor's New Groove, but only if all the original voice cast plays their respective characters

Why is the news footage showing Google Search appliances?? The last license for those machines expired 7 years ago

Overheard recently: “Did you know you have a computer in your pocket more powerful than the one that took people to the moon?”, “No, not that, your car keys.”

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
