human! please drink some fluids. thank you from a robot who loves you.

Looking for for . I would like one with ad blocking and the ability to watch videos such as youtube videos in fullscreen and with captions enabled.

My first step in my journey is complete - got the X68000 Pro I got at VCFMW from @thegirlg33k to actually see and then boot from a @BlueSCSI V2. Next step, more RAM. I'll probably make a GALSPanic board for that, then do a redesign of the Midiori MIDI board to make it easier to manufacture. Then hopefully design an RP2350 based board!

An open computer case, but not much of the internals are visible since it's blocked by large pieces of metal. There's a blue BlueSCSI PCB sitting on top connected to the computer with a ribbon cable. On the screen is a file selector program.

on driving driving emacs elisp viz a calendar app.

I thought I had another week! I'm not sure if I have to submit in the next ten hours or what.

Anyway I would love some feedback and commentary on how I can get a 20 minutes (why not one hour??)

good morning fedi...!

permacomputing The Game Boy emulator implementation test program and many of its failure modes. via @tbsp https://github.com/mattcurrie/dmg-acid2

A preview of the tests, broken.

Beginnings of a rudimentary notebook interface for simple calculations.

Two kinds of lines:

- Prose lines are just text, except `[value|name]` renders vertically over two lines as a "named blank" with the name under the underline.

- Code lines are indented (though it's very subtle to see here except for the fractions). Still to do: run them to fill in the blanks.

Screenshot of a text editor with mostly black text over a white background. There's a cursor visible in red.

The text has two kinds of lines: unindented lines containing brackets of the form [name|value], which causes value to be rendered in a lighter shade vertically centered under name, separated by a line.

Indented lines contain fractions of the form (numerator/denominator), nested to any depth, which causes the numerator to be centered vertically above the denominator, and the '/' to be rendered as a horizontal line separating the two.

Whenever I ask @wryl to help me with my computer.

really happy with my little calendar program on Plan 9, looks so charming! :D

still haven't figured out how to add my ssh keys correctly so can't upload to a remote just yet, if you know how that works please help me out!

Screenshot of my Plan 9 session, the focus is on the centered window, a calendar program displaying the current month.

You know, every time I think about how horrendously inefficient larger companies are and how, despite comparatively nobody doing fucking anything, they still make profit while small companies' employees work their ass off and get nothing, I just

Anger isn't really the right way to describe how I feel about that.

Bafflement? A state of overwhelming confusion and injustice?

"Capitalism leads to the most efficient allocation of resources" lmao

Just lol forever that people actually believe this

i actually have so many 'whoa pipe bomb so cool' moments everyday

i deleted destiny 2 today

fuck u bungie

Is still maintained?

openbsd

πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

viz after old computer challenge ended I had snuck my cpu performance back up but now

$ rcctl enable apmd
$ rcctl start apmd
$ rcctl set apmd flags -L
$ sysctl hw.setperf
hw.setperf=0

again <3

postmodernism

had an epiphany while walking around

i will remove all punitive aspects to the next version of `uwu`, my series of lisp tamagotchi virtual pets

you will just accrue a high score, and it will have no easy upper limit.

the first step would be just start writing mini games. was thinking i could make it modular, so that loading a minigame would take just loading an AST.

my main problem with version 3 was the little monitor-esque neglect handling routine. it was waaaay too over-engineered. really i just should have made neglect a simple integer, instead of a system of flags... lmao...

anyway when you have worked on a project for a long time you kinda get confused and frustrated and mentally blocked. i think this new approach leads to more joy/excitement.

Puffy, Mage and Daemon run BSD.

cursed? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

<$ expression $>

and

<# expression #>

as syntactical elements of a programming language??

could be something like hypertext, would be nice to have backwards as well as forward links...
