@mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org yes, i was thinking of tossing that almost verbatim into some header files and feeling it out

im not saying trump is dead, but i am asking why a video from 2 months ago is being used in articles as evidence that he was out golfing today, right next to a photo that could be legitimate but now, because of the video i know is not, seems less trustworthy

ah yes, i am sure everyone has been convinced that trump is still alive by that video of him going golfing which definitely wasnt previously published on june 29, 2025

sometimes i feel convinced that the people who write laws about escooters and ebikes have never even touched one

kerbal space program is so much fun

i wish space was real

i now own a hall-effect switch keyboard

this is actually really cool for video games

also, i have never, ever liked linear keyswitches before, but being able to tweak the actuation profile on them makes my usual issues with them completely disappear

it has been 7 years since valve released proton

which means it has been just under 7 years since i nuked my last remaining modern windows partition, never to install an actively-supported version of windows again

i have zero regrets

success

dell: designs a laptop that cannot simultaneously accomodate a 2.5" SSD and an M.2 SSD

me: "fuck that, we're having Second SSD"

perhaps netbsd should be on my sgi indy again

i have the octane for irix

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @Skirmisher@snoot.tube yeah i am not counting android here because i do not consider it an operating system designed for general purpose personal computing, it is a special-purpose operating system

@Skirmisher@snoot.tube (snark aside i would like to acknowledge that there are numerous interesting hobby and research operating systems that go largely unheard of but do cool things and certainly provide at least the technical underpinnings of what i would expect from a personal computing operating system for the 2010s. genode/sculpt comes to mind)

@Skirmisher@snoot.tube there is a world of difference between "modernized clone of an operating system designed for the 70s" and "modernized clone of an operating system designed for the 90s"

i wonder when someone will finally get around to designing an operating system for the 2010s

@Skirmisher@snoot.tube @gewt@san-junipero.gimme-sympathy.org yeah recently he even nonverbally communicated a word he definitely already knew but didn't have a button for, prompting us to give him a button with that word, which he uses correctly

he watches cartoons with us sometimes and i can't help but wonder just how much of it he understands

our other cat, we're pretty sure understands more than he lets on, but doesn't give a shit (he's orange)

time to fix netbsd (from haiku)

@RedTechEngineer@fedi.lowpassfilter.link @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me 15mph is the legal speed limit in my county for e-scooters

i have had excited little kids on bikes with training wheels pass by me while i was going that speed on local trails

if you're a car driver and you hate e-scooter riders, don't worry, we hate you more. after all, you were too busy looking at your phone while you turned into the gas station to even notice that you almost ran over us, so you can't hate us that much
