I’m starting to think that FOSS projects should explicitly explain which problems are the user’s responsibility and which problems are the project’s responsibility - in a prominent place

because often I’ll start using some FOSS but it turns out that I’m expected to put in a lot more work than I have the energy to, and when I complain about it people tell me that it’s my responsibility to make sure that that problem doesn’t happen. if I had known that that was going to be my responsibility, I wouldn’t have used that software. but at that point I’m in an awkward position where I unexpectedly have to either put in effort to fix the problem, or put in effort to find and configure different software

some great examples are treesitter-nvim expecting users to figure out neovim version compatibility on their own, and Arch expecting users to keep up with Arch news so that they know which updates might bork something

IMO it’s totally fine to shift responsibility onto your users like that - just make sure that every user knows about this from the outset. that way nobody is stuck doing work that they don’t have the energy for, because their software unexpectedly stopped working and it’s their responsibility to fix it

now that I’m done with C++ until my college class, I’ve moved on to making a CHIP-8 emulator in Python! which has been a lot of fun so far

in theory I’ve implemented all of the basic instructions, but I’m currently in the process of writing unit-tests for all of them to make sure that they actually work

I’ve already learned a lot about how the stack works at a very low level, and I’m getting much more of an intuition for low-level memory stuff in general

the hardest parts will be getting keyboard input and video output to work, but I bet I can figure those out

friendly reminder that due to the effects of climate change Madeleine’s flesh will enter its mortification phase about one month early this year. that means the start of August is the perfect time to ensure your community is protected by taking early preventative measures, such as:

• burning sacramental items
• drawing sigils on any unprotected doors and windows in your neighborhood
• salt-cleansing nearby cairns

if you studied Elder Futhark to prepare for Madeleine’s first arrival this is a good time to brush up on your knowledge

most importantly, remember that mandevilla velutina must be prepared beforehand by crushing or finely grinding it and then soaking it in alcohol - it will not draw the venom out otherwise - so make sure you have a good amount of prepared velutina in an easily-accessible place before the harrowing

the System Shock 2 remaster is free on Epic Games right now!

CWs: this is a horror game with body horror and extreme corporate cruelty as central themes (these are the most prominent potentially triggering things but there are lots more so please look more into it if this is concerning)

I have a Fedi etiquette question for y’all:

if you see one-half of a followers-only conversation between two Fedi users, do you just kinda pretend that you don’t see the conversation at all? or is it okay to like/favorite specific messages?

brats like you love to talk a big game before I pump them full of a massive overdose of my aphrodisiac. then they can’t really talk at all - especially not through all of the moaning and shivering at every little current of air flowing over their exposed skin. but I know through all of that, that you can still understand me. so I’m going to make sure you know exactly what I’m about to do to you

good thing you didn’t notice me put my orgasm denial curse on you while you were teasing me. what were you saying again~? something about “do your worst” and “doubt you could even make me cum”~? maybe you’re right. maybe for the dozens of hours it’s going to take for all of my venom to slowly loosen its grip over your body, maybe I won’t be able to make you cum at all… despite my best efforts, of course~

and I will use my best efforts~ I’ll find every single weak point and sensitive area your body has to offer, and torture every single one of them with as much pleasure as I can possibly inflict~ maybe then you’ll finally cum~ who knows~? oh! did you know about this one~? if I touch you right here then you’ll- oops! looks like your body broke already~ such a fragile creature you are~

I guess that means I’ll have to put this healing collar on you to continuously keep your body alive and healthy~ oh it does have other enchantments on it besides healing, but you’ll learn about those later~ when you try to take it off~

I’m just getting started, by the way~ I hope your mind is stronger than your body, because there’s nothing protecting that~ if it breaks too much I might just have to rebuild it myself and keep you~
