@michal I don't open reddit unless I am actively researching something, it's just brain damage. Haven't heard of this actress, which of her films do you recommend?

@michal Actually, indie are pretty much thriving on Nintendo Switch also.
Of course, Steam makes it easy for any strangest thing on Earth to be published, but eShop is very good in this respect too. Many indie game devs even acknowledge they earn more on eShop because of better visibility.
Also, Switch already feels like a perfect indie machine: it's portable and small and feels natural for small and cool games.

@michal no. How dare you put this information in my timeline???

How dare you take away my autonomy and force me to want more stuff?

Evil!!!

@michal wish I still had my classic 2 – lent it to my mother & my sister sold it. Grrrr. 90s family grudges are the best.

@nixCraft I saw someone is trying to shove AI into VIM so it will be as large as emacs. OwO

@nixCraft

"I have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Printers on fire off the shoulder of lp0. I watched c code glitter in the Make files with Tab/space bugs. All those moments will be lost in time, like | /dev/null. Time to init 0."

@nixCraft technical, you can add a vim mode plugin in cursor. Don't ask me why I know this though... 😞

@michal 😉

@michal As physical media disappears I’m sure the value will go up. Keep those games, that is your retirement investment 😆

@michal yeah the remote is terrible!
I did find in the settings a way to turn off the stupid touch pad, which solved 70% of the issues I have with it.

Though, if you need to “kill” an app because it’s malfunctioning, I have yet to find a way other than re-enabling the touch aspect, and swiping up from the app changer.

Seriously Apple software is a confusing mess atm.

@michal Mostly because we never *remove* any laws, we just patch over them. Geometric complexity.

When first written, the Constitution was quite simple. Only rich, white, males could vote. Non-whites were 3/5ths of a person, but _only_ for deciding how many Reps. a state got. They were non-persons other than that.

Oh, and whoever got the second-most votes was Vice President.

@rl_dane

Well, you know my stance:

Write while you can,
Before darkness turns to day.
Write while you know
How wide oceans really are.

While the world tries to fall,
Write a pillar, keep it up;
Write the Moon in the sky to
Pull the tides to the shore.

Write while your fears
Still loom silent out of reach.
Write while your friends
Flee the wreckage of your dreams.

When the end comes at last,
Write to family, write to friends;
Write the last letter ever,
Haunt the void with a light.

@82mhz I didn't buy a Walkman but I did buy a used cassette deck not that long ago (a Kenwood KX-440HX in January) and revived the amplifier of my late great aunt that was still in the cellar. It's great, but at times it can be a bit inconvenient that I can only listen to it at one spot in my living room and nowhere else because I only have my old headphones for it. I thought about getting either a bluetooth transmitter to listen to it over my soundbar (I know it wouldn't be completely analogue that way any more but I don't want to lie down a cable through my living room to it) or I could get some analogue loudspeakers specifically for it but I don't know where to put them. 🙃

@82mhz This post was excellent. I loved coming on the journey with you of repairing and "debugging" (I guess?) this elderly Walkman.

Of course the next step is to buy a bundle of cheap blanks and make some mixtapes!

@michal I think we're already in the "too big to fail" situation.
They'll continue to pump money, if needed, until it will be profitable. And if it won't be, the Government(s) will continue to pump the needed money: AI fall would mean an entire economic fall for many countries. It's unacceptable, for them.

@grumpygamer 😮‍💨

@grumpygamer By the way that is an excellent YouTube channel

@grumpygamer

I would bet dollars to donuts that around 1980s, if social media had been around, people like you would have posted

don't do computer art wiht programs like photoshop, that is not art, it degrades the human element, etc etc

@matdevdug Is a big problem in the USA. I've seen a sick worker come in and just sit there all day doing nothing. Well spreading whatever shit they have to co-workers.

@michal may I suggest...#FediMeteo? 😆

@michal Default weather app on iPhone. 😅

@82mhz Yup I still remember. We also connected stuff to the USB-A ports in the front of our 1541 floppy drives in that branch of reality.

Alt...

Slopped usb port on the front of a disk drive

@82mhz Wait wat?!
Ah and a "gaming" RGB-illuminated keyboard!

@82mhz It looks huge!  Bad camera angle?
