@skinnylatte then ah her mum comes out of the kitchen with tears in her eyes. This was a surprise. She speaks village Hokkien not Mandarin. She repeated a few times "li si he lang". Apparently her tears were happy tears.
Anyway then follows a difficult hour with my broken Mandarin and very broken Hokkien deciding on when and where and how we get married.

@skinnylatte after agreeing on getting married with my partner, I had to go ask my Chinese speaking father in law for permission. Bear in mind my Mandarin was poor back then. When I replied to his question with "我当然会保护你的女儿" he seemed rather happy and agreed.

#Commodore64 Spindizzy credits screen says there is no cheat mode... But I just found a cheat mode... Putting the message "I LIED!" in memory $df00 will disable the game timers.

@skinnylatte before my daughter was born, when I was working at beach road, I used to eat a lot of hawker food almost every day. My cholesterol level massively increased. I then switched to cooking at home a lot more often.

@skinnylatte problem is the stalls are getting very expensive to rent.

@skinnylatte even today I encounter some people who think Hokkien doesn't have a written form. When I was learning Wa Meng Ti many years ago I noticed some extra characters in the lyrics.

@emilygorcenski people seem to be trying to remove the technical answers with these GDPR requests. That will not work.
It actually benefits Stackoverflow because they won't have to track attribution for those answers.
It's abuse in as far as GDPR was never meant to apply to technical content, only personally identifiable data.

@emilygorcenski yes, which is not technical reply data. So actually trying to abuse GDPR for this purpose will mean it removes any attribution to the original technical answer. This means the technical answer remains and there would not even need to be attribution.
That rather makes it *more likely* that the technical answer is used for AI, not less likely.

@emilygorcenski GDPR doesn't apply to technical answers.

@ben you gave them information for free. You don't own it, they do. That was the working relationship.

Imagine if you were working for a company producing work and you suddenly tried to sabotage that work. That's what you were trying to do, sabotage it. They would be perfectly within their rights to restrict your access.

The moral of this story is, if you want to retain ownership then don't give it away (for free) to someone else.

@bananarama @atatassault @intransitivelie @jlsigman @ben that is transformative which is in the agreement

@bananarama @atatassault @intransitivelie @jlsigman @ben and how do you know there won't be attribution? You're just assuming that.

@bananarama @atatassault @intransitivelie @jlsigman @ben you're the one claiming there isn't attribution...

In this episode of #Commodore64 games memories I look at SWIV. The disk loader, attract sequence, title screen, game scroll, and speed testing the multiplexor sort code while comparing it with Terra Cresta.

@thomasfuchs @mos_8502 has to be done.

#Commodore64 game Stormlord has some old PD Systems download software hidden in memory. Probably left over from the final developer build being sent to the machine. This video resurrects that old code and gets it running again.
