@wyatt8740@tech.lgbt
mastodon 4.7.2+glitch.techlgbtI like old thing. I usually don't like new thing.
<3 C, Unix, shell scripting, old electronics, emacs, & old cute cars. Nearly 30.
(Seeking a job!)
Current obsessions include Bubblegum Crisis & the NEC PC-9801.
I draw pixel art of varying quality.
Semi-closeted, trans woman or nonbinary or something. Slowly working my way through it. I act rather feminine, in any case, and I'd like to look/feel that way. On HRT as of May 17 2024!
I want to be genuine and connect with others empathetically, bidirectionally; we need more of that and to assume good faith more easily.
Vetting follows, it's just a vibe check.
LMK if I should CW something or act differently, I want to be considerate and friendly but I don't always know what upsets everyone…
Avatar is my art of Nei, from Phantasy Star II.
Donations would mean the world to me, if you can help. Or job offers. https://ko-fi.com/wyatt8740

@hisham_hm @mozilla them using telemetry to justify every decision knowing damn well that people who care turn it off
Holy crap, what a cover.
SaGa Frontier battle theme 1 on PC-9801 with YM2608 synth. From FMP Music Disk 6. (Recorded from real hardware, sounds best on loudspeakers instead of my headphones)
I first checked paper mario: the thousand year door out of the local public library in around 2006 or 2007 (almost immediately after getting a Wii). It continued a long-standing habit of me picking out RPG's purely by accident before I even knew what an RPG was. (Harry Potter & the [Sorcerer's, Philosophers] Stone on Game Boy Colour, Pokémon… Drawn to Life (sort of), probably lots of others)
I fell in love with it but only got through Hooktail before I had to return it to the library way too soon and never got very far. Was haunted by the save on my gamecube memory card for years. Finally beat it about 18 years later.
Still backing up my boot 500GB HDD on the server to a different one; new drive is partitioned, formatted and ready to go otherwise.
While I wait I've taken a bath and replaced the digitizers in two of my fat nintendo DS'es. One had a scratch on it that I didn't like, and the other wasn't sensitive enough to pressure - I had to press harder than I had to with the other three fat DS'es I have. Which isn't awful on its own, but is annoying enough that I decided to do something about it.
It went flawlessly; fat DS'es are so much easier to work on than the lites that they're like comparing a smartphone to a game boy color. (fixed a lite for a coworker recently).
Final boss music from Touhou 4 (not the extra stage; just Yuuka). "Inanimate Dream." Hardware recording from my PC-9801-86 sound card on Epson PC-486GR. Absolutely electrifying track.
As usual if it's not playing, I guess just try the 'download' button. #pc98 #pc98music #pc98touhou #touhouproject #touhou #lls
why do they make so many of the yellow starbursts, they're always the last to go in a bowl so you'd think they'd just make more red ones or some shit but nooooo

@thermia@sk.girlthi.ng idk what outage this is but yeah that's what i fucking hate about let's encrypt and https everywhere
Lost all my momentum and motivation for this unboxing thing thanks to you comcast
fuck you comcast

@gremlins@cijber.social @darkuncle@infosec.exchange @b0rk@social.jvns.ca orrr, if you are using an actual posix shell…
(expression) || (echo 'error: thingy happened wrong'; break)
will solve most of these 'issues'.
except unset variables. You should always set any variables you plan to use or check for their existance at the start of a script anyway, especially if you ever used csh you know why.
(edit: exit can be substituted for break if not in a loop or something like that)

@tauon yeah i don't feel that way about cryptocurrency funnily enough
in theory it's fine, i even wanted to get into mining it in 2010-2011 or so after I first read about it but didn't have an even minimally acceptable GPU back then (intel integrated graphics circa 2009).
Cryptobros destroying the planet came later and that drove me away from it but i still think the basic idea of a non-government decentralised currency is a nice one
Replying to
@tauon also the other part is the fees the exchanges put on you, and trying to find one that feels somewhat reasonable

@n0toose@chaos.social did the last one actually happen, and if so where is their patch set to get OpenJ9 working on PPC32?
Replying to
no no no you can't freely scan through the collected works of humanity, that right is reserved for the large language models.
@selfsame@tiny.tilde.website freedom intensifies

@tauon @hazelnoot if that wasn't clear enough i'm just saying i don't think the 'i am not defending cryptocurrency but it is the only way for most diy resources unfortunately' line was strictly necessary if that was said to head off any potential prickliness from me

@tauon@possum.city it'd be a linux thing if it were a way to do it using for instance sysfs to write to the "OSIndications" variable to tell it to boot to system firmware.

@tauon@possum.city @ProfessorCode@fosstodon.org yeah my point though is that that's not a "linux" thing, it's a systemd thing

@ipg I know someone with an ocean-locked old school runescape account where they deleted the pier you used to use to go to kourend out from under them.
I also had a tutorial island account back in the day

@navi@social.vlhl.dev i tried to migrate and they wouldn't let me because i didn't remember how my parents bought it when i was under 18, so it's still legalized theft because they gave me no means to migrate

@mdekstrand@hci.social Not sure how they are for the blind, but RIT in Rochester New York has a ton of deaf students. Maybe there's something there for blindness too?
Replying to
@tauon @hazelnoot my response is "I want to find an exchange where i can purchase crypto without the exchange taking a ridiculously large handling fee"
and also that i don't think you needed to defend wanting to get crypto, there is a use case for it
Replying to
@tauon @hazelnoot i would like to be able to use it to purchase hrt as well, you don't have to disclaim it :\

@droppedpacket i don't mind yellow myself, just find it confusing that for decades they've had a flavpur that the majority of kids pass over and they still seemingly make at least as many of them as all the others.
pink or orange is my favourite, yellow's fine. i kind of think red tastes a bit 'medicinal' myself
Replying to
not like i was in the middle of posting an unboxing during the only part of the day that i feel awake or anything.
"you're gonna carry that weight" is an emotionally meaningful moment in cowboy bebop and also an motionally impactful beatles reference, don't mess with it to make it silly imo
oh i spoke too soon! my modem just rebooted! comcast wasn't fucking done!
1 A.M. outages occurring on the dot at 1 AM and lasting over thirty fucking minutes should not be a thing.
Replying to
@saddestrobots@jorts.horse @scottmichaud@mastodon.gamedev.place just use the posix specs and it'll probably work in both most of the time, smh
Replying to
@sortius@mastodon.social not trying to make others hate it, i think it does a good enough job of that on its own
just expressing my own loathing of it
Love when comcast just fucking stops caring about uptime even more around 1 AM

@temmie19@tech.lgbt i do have a lot of tenderness for XP but i'd definitely not call myself a windows power user anymore (I fled windows). I probably qualified 10+ years ago when XP still was in wider use, though.
