wow people who wanna believe covid is over really love painting those of us who've actually read the research on the long term health effects of covid as somehow the same as anti vaxxers huh? 🙄

"A doctor has issued a stark warning that the XEC variant of Covid-19 could bring back the dreaded masks and social distancing"

idk man maybe the thing to dread is the debilitating airborne blood plague, not the act of putting on a fucking mask. maybe this attitude is exactly why things are turbofucked right now

Kitsune Tails is on the shortlist for the Melbourne Queer Games Festival Awards! :D First time a game of ours has been shortlisted for an award, so that's really cool

You can find all the shortlisted games here: http://mqgf.com.au/2024/awards/

giving the *gestures* everything, it's getting harder and harder to tell myself that my fondness for retro games and hardware is really nostalgia and not because things were actually better

EDIT: i don't mean only gaming, i mean general computing

i dunno. i guess i'd just rather have something thats kinda rough than have something polished but purposefully enshittified

maybe i just miss having hope for tech instead of only cynicism

Feel like if we ever want to break the browser hegemony we need a reboot of web technology to start clean with a design that's actually feasible to implement from scratch without spending billions of dollars

hey look i finally did that mastodon verification thingermabobber :D

@bnut yeah it was a real nail biter for the past 2 years or so

my blog now has a links page containing a button wall! :D https://enikofox.com/links/

let me know if i missed you

@psychicparrot42 you don't technically need to be on steam for your game to be playable on deck, though i'm sure you're aware

@gilesgoat @psychicparrot42 i don't have a steam deck so i don't know but according to a team member if the game has a proper linux build you can just "add non-steam game" in desktop mode and there you go

made an 88x31 banner for my blog (https://enikofox.com)

@HauntedOwlbear what does intercepting embeds mean?

do you ever just. want to

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😫

@aral good. Withholding vaccines from people just because they're healthy (and want to stay that way) is utter absurdity, especially given the low uptake of booster shots in general

Impressed by the number of people who think this seems like a plausible technological progression:

1. Spicy autocomplete
2. ???
3. General AI

For the record, step 2 would be "invent an entirely new technology from whole cloth which can actually support general AI" since, you know, machine learning models can't, actually

@erincandescent @lofty how do you figure out how much memory to allocate for the executable? since without paging it has to all be in one contiguous block of memory

or are you just supposed to guess?

@erincandescent @lofty i'm not really intimidated by reading binary formats, i'm intimidated by the lack of information on how to support running a PIE on a custom kernel >_> like i get the theory and i can parse a binary format but that doesn't mean i understand what a kernel needs to be able to successfully run a PIE

meanwhile there's lots of information available on MMUs. it looks like a pain in the ass to implement, but at least there's enough information out there that i understand what's required
