UGH why do I have to care about LA mode textures

greyscale + alpha? WHO DOES THAT

The great thing about releasing software for free is that sometimes you get support requests for something you wrote 19 years, three names, and two genders ago

the problem with being a dedicated Bad Idea Haver is that AI is so stupid that I don't want to share any of my Bad Ideas out of the fear that someone would actually do it

They themed the progress bar to look like film. That's the Apple® polish.

random thought: I wonder how hard it would be to encode video that this version of QuickTime can play back?

like if I tell FFMPEG to give me a .MOV at 320x240 it's not gonna give me something I can play on this 1994 software, right?

Let's find out

oof for some reason ffmpeg is processing it at 2 FPS

This video is 5326 frames long!

You couldn't be more specific about WHY, exactly?

what's be really cool (and I understand there's a lot of reasons why this would be a nightmare to actually implement) would be a tool like ffprobe that telled you the ffmpeg command that'd produce a given format of video, based on an example file

oh hey, the README mentions the Diamond Viper VLB! and the Weitek P9000! that's the 2D Accelerator I was researching how to code for earlier today

no, YOU can't sleep so you're installing QuickTime 2.03 for Windows 3.1 at 4am.

shut up

@ltning @gloriouscow someday I want an emulator that'll properly simulate the correct color of smoke that comes out when you break different components

Ahh, Windows 98. How I've missed your stability and quality.

I tried to access a floppy drive, so naturally one of my explorer windows got drawn over the other one

KVMs are great if you want your mouse and keyboard and monitors to randomly not work

also your network connections

but other than that, they're great

petition to rename KVM to the parts that work consistently

this is not a KVM, it's a V

Why is it KVM anyway?

what kind of weirdo lists the keyboard and mouse with the monitor between them?

shouldn't it be, like, VKM or KMV?

@thomasfuchs I had to de-patreonize him. even if he deleted it, pedojacking Patricia Taxxon was too far for me

I KNOW!

IT'S BEEN 5 SECONDS. GIVE ME A MOMENT TO WRITE SOME MORE LINES

it's exactly like when you go to type your password and you type the first "h" and it goes PASSWORD TOO WEAK

HOLD YOUR HORSES, MORE LETTERS, NUMBERS, AND OTHER SYMBOLS WILL FOLLOW!

one of the silliest annoyances of modern coding with fancy IDEs is when you go and define a new variable, like

number_of_records_dropped = 0

and you're about to go add some code that increments it when a record throws an exception, but your IDE pops up a little error highlight warning you that number_of_records_dropped isn't used anywhere
