@voltrina@voidposter.club somehow mining crypto in the browser was not ok, but doing the same math because le ai bad is fine. Never mind that the amount of time spent on these can get annoying on a slower machine, and as you're showing here, older browsers just get blocked.
This is no different than cloudflare blocking users of sanely configured browsers, or recaptcha being recaptcha.
@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be are you alive mom? It's been 20 years since I saw you 
Just to make sure other people who have their opinions don't bother:
I LOVE AI I SLOP ALL THE TIME ART IS DEAD AND HAS NO VALUE
holy shit amiga forever sucks
"no DRM"
means you get a fingerprinted copy with your license key and a setup that decrypts ROMs at runtime
lovely!
protip: x86 is getting truly obsolete
if you want to mess with 32 bit stuff, it's already on the way out, and it's going to get harder as time passes
distros are dropping support, hybrid build of haiku is in a sorry state
you probably considered the possibliity of being put on a watchlist for saying or doing something as potentially a bad person
but have you considered that your bizarre behavior, like IRL might've tripped counterintelligence measures and that they wasted resources figuring out if you're a foreign spy?
epic failed so bad by not making a knuckles sidekick
imagine all the & knuckles jokes you could make
sony should return to their old controller designs, dualshock 4 and dualsense are not as comfortable as their older stuff
why did font rendering on windows get so ugly?
it used to be… decent
remoting into a mister over SSH from emacs is so cozy
I get all my nice stuff inside of my local session to poke at config files, use dired to manage stuff, run remote shells and whatnot while the device is running on the side
shoutout to NetBSD just… picking up an ethernet card instantly, no configuration
oh it's just en0, have fun
I just noticed that the box of rice I have has a badge saying it has the name printed in braile. The sign is just a printed thing. So like, what is this, some sort of mockery? Oh LOOK this thing has braile on it, too bad that the intended audience can't SEE that because it doesn't matter either way.
Like what the actual fuck?
I swear the NSO virtual boy with a switch 2 is better than real hardware, heck even a switch 1 is

mom never stop headpats are as important as food and sleep to me
time extension has truly devolved into crashout posts about someone having used AI
like holy shit at this point you're not even discussing retro gaming, just that someone on github admitted to using AI in a decomp or a recomp project
Replying to
@david@voidposter.club what is worth putting up as the biggest article? that that project mentioned a while ago now has the dev using AI
literally burying something like a writeup on superstation one and the console mode it brings to the mister platform
The very first public release of The GIMP (0.54) had a community plugin written that did the map to sphere thing that was later turned into the spinny ball animation.
ever dealt with a thinkpad that's 20+ years old?
I swear I bought rubbery go with a laptop somewhere inside
I think retro computing can be a somewhat cheap hobby if you're smart about it
hunt for deals, know your way around sorting out things like storage and bootable media on old computers, aim for old laptops, even beat up ones…
I just ignored a kernel panic in haiku, an USB related assertion failed and you panic at me? no you don't, you'll boot like nothing happened
things you could technically do I think:
run a voodoo with an old laptop by breaking out to PCI from cardbus, just the most unhinged eGPU (more like external 3D accelerator ha ha) setup imaginable
my brainrot is calling bnuuys "flopeared bobcats"
mrrp

@fristi@56k.dile-up.nl that is an option, if you have a fast CPU, 86box is nice
I use it to set up stuff before transferring a disk image to real hardware in some cases haha
Hey mom you woke me up before I got done with my beauty sleep.
Replying to
@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be I like the spray kind of throat pain medication, it works fast and is stronger than any pill.
Bryan Johnson trying to not die? He should've started by becoming a catboy to get extra 8 lives.

The GIMP, from before GTK, wrapped up in a flatpak you can run on a modern distro. Pretty lovely, so many things are consistent with modern versions, including the threshold tweaking for the fuzzy select tool, which is like one of my favorite things. The best UI was shockingly decent even back then.
Stockton Rush is a good rich guy. Not only did he off himself, he took a bunch of billionaires down with him.

@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be Come on mom I like it because it's soft and I have to make it smell like me. After all, this is my home.
xjack could live to this day, adding ethernet ports to slim laptops
ranger rumble now has decent controller support for in game
ngl, nugget laptops can be fun, you can get an entire toy to play with for peanuts if you want to experience an old thinkpad and make it do things
even certain sought after models can be snagged for cheap if you search around, like the 600x I got, a beat up one and stuff, but I have one!
I just learned that amiga forever fucking keeps the kickstart roms encrypted at rest
what the actual fuck, this is the kind of shit that makes me want to get a refund, I assumed I'm buying actual files with a bundled shitty emulator I can just ignore so I can get licensed ROMs
Replying to
@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems This is an MSI installer, right? I assume that makes it even harder?
rac ranger rumble is heading towards a global launch!
I think editor wars people do not even bother beating up nano people because of the worry that the lack of braincells will rub off on them
the VB f-zero game is lowkey fun
Replying to
@fristi@56k.dile-up.nl but also, getting old thinkpads in great condition for like $40 and having a good keyboard, a cat tongue trackpoint and enough CPU grunt to do fun stuff? I think it's worth it for me
I'm somehow using emacs 30
on a P3 500, 128 megs of ram
with GUI
with my config, sans any extra packages from straight
hurr durr emacs is le bloated
bitch this is a tool I'm making a living with
lazy prompting tier: telling the agent to fetch code review comments and address them by itself
