@rosie@segfault.us.to my machine has 8GBs of soldered ram with one slot for expanding said RAM, and has 24GBs to play with considering the 16GB module installed.
Much more movement than Quake and requires more aiming so I'm deeming it non-viable
fun fact! the inderix generally finds it uncomfortable for a baseball bat to slam into their head and send it flying.
the inderix's head is suspended precisely 3 inches from it's torso using a highly precise system of magnets between the top of the torso and bottom of the head. the ferromagnetic fluid within all plazmoids makes this generally extremely stable.
in the event the inderix head is suddenly removed from the range of the magnetic field generated, the inderix's torso will fallback into a semi-sentient state, using a variety of sensors to locate the head and bring it back into range.

🚨 Mozilla has announced a bold and controversial move: Firefox will transition to a paid model, with subscriptions priced at 1 Mann Co. Supply Crate Key (≈64 ref or $1.56) per month.
In a statement, Mozilla emphasized its commitment to user privacy: "To uphold the highest standards of security and privacy, we will exclusively accept Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys via Steam as payment, ensuring transactions remain secure and private."
The decision has sparked widespread debate online. What are your thoughts? 💬 #Firefox #TechNews #Privacy

my favorite thing about the english language is that you can just type any combination of letters followed by a question mark and it functions the same way as saying "what". like my friend can send me something and i'll say "hlorng?" and he'll explain it

do you people really live in some alternate reality universe where the extent of direct action about capital that you need to do is to bully other shitlibs on social media to inconvenience themselves in minor ways
is this really the end all be all of resistance to you
do you really think this is going to reasonably impact margins of capital
how about you try like, feeding a homeless person for a few days instead so that way at least someone can come out of it better

did everyone forget they Firefox is a brand that does things alongside the browser? it was firefox send. not mozilla send.

not only is it generic boilerplate it's likely unenforceable. but the fedi loves it's fud

So, apparently Microsoft Windows 2.11 Hercules graphic card driver is written incorrectly.
Recently I finish repair my IBM PC Portable, which have both CGA and Hercules graphic card installed (dual head configuration). I have install Windows/286 2.11 on it (Windows is using Hercules driver) and it cause graphic corruption when running Windows if there is CGA card also installed.
This graphic corruption problem also exist on Hercules driver in Windows 3.0 and possibly Windows 3.1 too.
To investigate the cause this problem, I download Windows/286 OEM Adaption Kit (this is like DDK on steroid for OEM) that is floating around on archive.org.
looking into Hercules graphic card driver source code and found out it was using page 2 (B8000h-BFFFFh), instead of page 1 (B0000h-B7FFFh) which conflict with the CGA card (it have VRAM at B8000h).
Normally, programs using Hercules graphic card in graphic mode is using Hercules page 1 (aka. half mode). This include popular Thai word processor software, CU-Writer and RAMA SpellCheck and various early Thai graphic mode software that work only with Hercules card, also example codes from Hercules driver floppy disk.
It is possible that Microsoft use CGA driver, which have VRAM at B8000h as a base for writing Windows's Hercules graphic card driver. They make it work but didn't clean the code up to make it correct... Typical Microsoft of that era 😅
I also upload the modified Windows/286 2.x Hercules driver that to use Hercules half mode, which can be found here https://archive.org/details/win211_286_herc

How the hell does one sleep comfortably on a sleeping bag? Inside its way too warm and the ground hurts. Outside its cold and the ground still hurts. It dosen't come with a pillow either and I have to improvise with my jacket. Sleeping on the floor in a hackathon sucks. I feel for all the homeless guys and I am grateful I can go back to my bed after this is over.
...
@msa2 yeah lol i still have the phantom sensation of my badge around my neck, and once i got back home eating with metal utensils felt like an alien experience. i can confidently say that i have a renewed gratitude for how i have it rn
...
@fish You know you could take that badge off and nobody would care? It was pretty light and I didn't even notice I was wearing it half the time. In fact, I thought it had gone missing but it was just tucked inside my shirt and I didn't even realize. Honestly I would probably prefer homelessness over Hack Canada. I can at least pick the pizza I get.
...
@msa2 true! i'd honestly eat actual cardboard over dominos.
@fish Although that event felt way longer than three days. By Saturday it felt like I had been trapped in those halls for weeks. Some real time dilation shit.
...
@msa2 i'm telling you dude they severed us, everyone put first name last initial on their badges
you really need to go and watch severance
...
@fish I will eventually. Might try the library first before going straight to piracy. I still have a list of a dozen shows I have to watch.
Mine is comfortable on straight concrete
...
@rosie Honestly concrete would have been more comfortable than that hackathon floor. It had a bunch of salt from people walking past in the halls since they massively oversalt the roads where I live. I hate salt, it's rough, irritating and it gets everywhere. I wish they would stop using so much both for the environment and my sanity.
If your opensource hardware costs the same or more than an apple product i dont want it. it just reeks of tech bro liberalism tbh
...
For example, the MNT Reform may be 1,200 euro, but it also has a milled aluminum chassis, a mech keyboard, and a custom-designed mainboard, along with being hand-assembled
None of those are cheap
...
@rosie im aware that things cost more at small scale, and when you dont use slave labor. I just am unconvinced that a 1,200 euro price tag isnt price gouging to make profits. Its a problem of capitalist open-source vs anti-capitalist open-source in my mind
Sure, they might have your previous data.
But you know what they *don't* have?
They don't have your *future* data.
It's never too late to start improving your data privacy online. Every small step helps.
Though the whole Pentium 3 thing was a pretty justified guess
apple removing magsafe from the 16e is so stupid because the magnets probably add only like a dollar to the cost
...
...
@rosie to be completely fair, performance-wise the 16e is comparable with flagship android phones. i'm just saying that magsafe is such a stupid thing to cut especially since it adds so little to the bottom line

web rant [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Something that I don't see people talking about nearly enough is how much of an effect the complexity of the web has had on centralizing itThere are exactly 3 "proper" browsers currently being developed
2 are by multi-trillion-dollar corporations and the third is funded by one of the first 2 while still struggling
We have to accept that this ever-increasing complexity needs to stop
For security, for privacy; above all for maintainability
Complexity is the enemy of software development, so why have we built a platform specifically for fostering it?
