Anyone still on twitter/X? Does the "show account location" feature still exist? What does it say for my handle, @iProgramInCpp? I don't want to log in to my account as it's been an 8 month clean break.

mario 64 psx just dropped

Monkuous's port of Linux to my fantasy computer w/ a custom RISC architecture now gets to a bash prompt. Feels weird I can no longer modify my boot ROM without having to worry about keeping backwards compatibility with... Linux

www.newsmediaalliance.org/takedown-of-... Do we seriously just call everything illegal nowadays? You're serving the entire fucking article and then taking it away from me. Stop disrespecting your readers. If you want them to pay up, DO NOT serve the entire article.

thanks linus torvalds

Why does Google have a picture of an Apple building on their internal SSO website? (Disclosure: I am not a Google employee)

Anyone know how I can get Objective-C blocks (something like ^{ ... } ) working on iOS 4.2.1? I'm trying to preserve some apps I found on this iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1 and I'm trying to port Clutch (normally runs on iOS 8+).

Just saw an ad (well, a regular video promoting) ANOTHER ffmpeg wrapper for Mac. And of course they charge you a subscription ($3/mo, $18/lifetime). Why would anyone buy this? Are you that afraid of the command line and can't run "ffmpeg -b 800k -i input.mp4 out.mp4"?? (No free promotion from me)

If I will no longer be able to use discord, bluesky, or youtube without sending my identity to the government and/or third parties, well, it was nice knowing ya. Because I don't know what I'd do if they'll actually go through with it. Protest? We'll see.

I can't close this fucking ad! They give me an X for nothing. And uBlock didn't even block it at first!

Sub 30' in Farewell! (And 32 deaths!)

I wish my country's government banned advertising of betting sites and casinos. They're literally every-fucking-where where I live.

These two phones running Purplecord together... It's so beautiful

I'm developing Purplecord again! Here's what's new. I can't promise a release anytime soon, but I will try to release it by the end of the year.

oh wow, Raspberry Pis are still being maWHY IS IT RED

Finally... graphics driven by user mode. Took me long enough.

Well, their main account was also just removed. Fuck YouTube.

finally wrote that blog post, in which i argue that "people will lie about using AI for coding" is not a good reason to allow people to use AI for coding: blog.xkeeper.net/thoughts/ran...

Holy shit. I can't believe that YouTube did this. I wonder how much abuse YouTube is willing to apply to its community before it just says "fuck this, I'm out".

I can see what's happening on what now?

I'm gonna struggle through this rabbit-hole for a bit. I just figured out (well, found out) how to decrypt the mach kernel image, and then figured out that that's not where the s5l8900 nand driver is locatrd

Looks like the issue happens when I enable write functionality, when I disable flushing pages to the NAND, everything works fine. And I have a feeling that the original code was working because they didn't allow for that either.

So I wanted to make the NAND implementation in the iPod Touch QEMU fork using mmap, and it seems to work, until you realize, there is no Settings app! (but sometimes it does show up and I can't explain it) (my fork of the fork is here: github.com/iProgramMC/q...)

I finally came up with an explanation to the Monty Hall problem that works for me. To recap, you have three doors, you pick one, and the presenter opens up one door that loses (N-1 doors). Do you switch?

Wait, that's not the BBC...

I hate autoplaying videos, man. Seriously. They're a battery drain for no reason when I'm trying to read something else. They stop my music too (on Android). And I hate them even more if I can't pause them immediately

I sure hope Arch Linux won't do something like this, or the collaborating with US military companies thing (NixOS)

Some guy sent a complaint letter to Ea-nasir, a copper merchant from Ur, circa 3775 years ago. Feel old yet?

I "like" how YouTube allows all kinds of AI girlfriend crap on their ads platform, but they draw the line at Kegel exercises. Nice double standard.

Fun fact: if you're willing to activate a certain variant, you can beat Celeste's Reflection without jumping!

I love SmartSAMD.sys (Storport Miniport Driver for SmartRAID/SmartHBA Controllers) developed by Microsemi Corportation[sic]

huh

windows 10 has reached end of life, hop on calculator instead crustywindo.ws/Calculator

It restored!!! I totally didn't expect that all I had to do was just wait.

WASTED

Can you beat these levels in Celeste without jumping with the superdashing variant? 1a: you can do it up until the final zip mover room 2a: 100% possible 3a: you can do all the way until huge mess 4a: possible until that tall ass wind climb room before the checkpoint

What does it mean when an iPhone 3G hangs at the Apple logo and never boots into the operating system? NAND fucked? (for context I also tried restoring via both iTunes and Legacy iOS Kit and both failed to do it, and specifically LiK kept saying "Waiting for NAND (28)")

Donald Trump is NOT beating the "Russian asset" allegations

Lovely

BTW I think the screen on the iPhone 4 held up really well. It still looks sharp to this day. About 3/4 as many ppi as my daily driver phone, but it still looks great.

tuning in to the Fox Olds Channel 🧓

wow, this guy is cracked

Well here it is. Purplecord on iPhone 4.

No! Fuck right off!

This year may have been dogshit in general but there is a silver lining - I am a slightly better person now and I am a slightly better programmer now. And I am a little bit more aware of the way the world got into this situation.

AI will probably be the death of imagination. Like little kids won't be imagining what they want to see now, instead they'll make a video of it with AI...

blocklists might be my least favorite feature of this platform because they are fundamentally not trustworthy
