@cas honestly doing hardware bringup on a modern SoC without without SWD/JTAG is a nightmare. I salute everyone who manages it.

@lanodan @lethalbit card payment messages say hi ^^

@lanodan @lethalbit dd mangles the binary data in the hex dump.

@lethalbit they’re lacking the -E option for interpreting character data as EBCDIC as well.

…what’s that? I’m hearing I’m the only regular user of that feature? :(

@arichtman @alina libSystem doesn’t support being built statically

and also

XNU does not have a stable system call ABI, your kernel and libSystem versions must be in sync

@arichtman @alina (Go did not heed this warning, had problems, and now has some mildly terrifying code to link against libSystem without the usual CGo overheads)

@thisismissem @mcc also the storage costs on the subscription side are entirely a consequence of how Mastodon in particular has decided to handle media and not a required feature

@mcc @thisismissem i don’t think so, because gotosocial has decided to fairly comprehensively commit to copying many of mastodon’s worse ideas.

Ohhh dear…

@chjara @alina @expergetech (Modern Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, …) x (English, German, French, …) = a lot of transliteration systems, never mind the fact that often there are multiple transliteration systems in use

(and at the very rare end of the scale you can end up with e.g. transliterations between different writing systems which use different extensions of the latin alphabet. or cyrillic and latin or similar)
