if you still wear a mask in public for covid: put it in your bio!

mask wearer in bio = easy follow

especially now, vulnerable people need to know who they can rely on

I know I should've put this together myself but why did nobody ever tell me that it's much easier to clean the outside of kitchen appliances by spraying on some alcohol rather than using soapy dish detergent water

@HauntedOwlbear they made you look at musk, like, professionally? i'm so sorry

From https://newrepublic.com/article/188156/liberals-dump-musk-leave-twitter

"I would ask my liberal friends: Why are you still on Twitter, or X, or whatever it’s called? They would look at me sheepishly."

It's weird how similar this reads to talking to others about covid and masking 🤔

Sega delisting a while bunch of their back catalogue games from Steam huh? Dang. Shame there's no other trivially easy way to play games from their old consoles 🙄

It's so frustrating when this happens. Like, it's on PC, it'll keep working for years and years, with modern software basically forever. But selling people games once on PC is less profitable than continuing to sell people the same old games over and over on proprietary platforms that eventually die, so here we are

irregular reminder that if you're not here for My Stupid Opinions™ and only care about the video games, there's @kitsunegames to follow where my opinions will trouble you no longer

@sinbad i definitely can't afford a good ebike (and it would have to be good to be able to deal with this terrain)

still think its funny when people suggest i get a bike to get around where i live (fortunately moving within the week) because the terrain is so mountainous and steep that i would still be struggling to walk up hills except now i would also have to drag a bike with me as i did it

@HauntedOwlbear @ifixcoinops @alice i turned auto collapsing "long" posts off because i extremely disagree with what it thinks is a long post

I hate how all AI hype is predicated on "if we can just make this not be broken then it would be an amazing product"

And because AI produced things look kinda close to the real deal people buy it. Cause it feels like it just needs a small improvement, even though its flaws are a fundamental part of the technology

Just don't draw the weird 6th finger. Just don't make up things when you don't have a real answer. Just don't change the environment in an AI generated game entirely if the player turns around 180 degrees

These things *feel* like they're small, solvable problems to people who don't know better. We could easily fix those things if humans were doing the work!

But AI can't. It will never be able to. It can't because not doing those things means it couldn't do anything else either. Like self-driving cars, the solution to these issues will always be 2 years out

@david 3 months ago we released the PC's answer to SMB3 and it's full of queer fox girls, that counts, right? >_> https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

"eniko why won't your studio support mac anymore"

well, this might have something to do with it: https://hackaday.com/2024/11/01/apple-forces-the-signing-of-applications-in-macos-sequoia-15-1/

"Now it would seem that to distribute MacOS software you need to have an Apple Developer Program membership, costing $99/year."

if anything apple should be paying *me* $99 a year to put up with their bullshit. i'm not locking myself into development-as-a-service where every year i have to dish out $99 to even be allowed to make programs for mac and then every 4 years also have to buy an entirely new overpriced piece of trash laptop because apple arbitrarily decided the latest version of macos won't run on older macbooks

so i know that it's modern to hate exceptions in programming languages, but what are the alternatives besides obsessively checking every return value? this includes monads which are just fancily obsessively checking return values while wearing a top hat and monocle

@dalias @tannergooding you say this as a joke but riscv just sets all bits on when you divide by zero

anyone else feel instantly more at ease with men when they wear nail polish?

C is such a piece of shit language. Only language where "I need a dynamically growing array or a hashmap" is answered with "roll your own lol n_n"

EDIT: C (not C++, not Zig, not Rust) is the correct language for the job I'm doing. I am also very aware of how to implement dynamic arrays and hash tables. I have written my own stdlibs on freestanding C before. I do not actually need coaching in this matter, thank you. I also like C, sometimes, but sometimes I think it's a stupid piece of shit language, because it is

And of course C doesn't have templates or generics or anything of the sort so rolling your own, assuming you want it to be reusable, involves gross macro abuse in order to do it and you have to use void* everywhere cause that's not an issue at all

look, all the best C coders trash talk C. the only time you should be worried is when someone's using C without talking shit about it
