what a time to be alive. i’m researching something and all i am getting are useless AI-written articles on the topic. worst timeline.
Got a little nerd-sniped by Computerphile

So I went back to look at a little BASIC-plus I was designing, made a prototype in Python just because it is the easiest string processing (I have tools for this in Scheme, but it's more involved).
You know what grinds my gears? There's no case-insensitive compare without creating two garbage strings:
a.lower() == b.lower()
instead of (string-ci=? a b) or the like. Why is Python slow? THIS SHIT.
i am making a promise to myself that i will go back to guix the very second debian sid fucks up on me
#RiverWM #Waybar #Wayland #Linux
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a different symbol for focused river tags on waybar. hyprland/workspaces for example has a format-icons property so I can use an empty circle or a filled circle depending on if it is active or not.
I am assuming not as there is no equivalent property for river/tags but maybe there is something else to achieve this effect.
I guess I could use whitespace as the symbol and use css styling to achieve the effect but maybe there is a neater way?

Can I recruit any/all of you to our lispmoo2 world? Also opinions: For the "hashtag game" version of adding a location, maybe it's more concise to just write the dot edges? So in a Mastodon toot, my own would've been:
screwtapes:
mountain-trail -- lisp-leanto;
lisp-leanto -- asdf-avenue;
asdf-avenue -- git-gorge;
asdf-avenue -- quick-quagmire;
mountain-trail -- game1::town;
mountain-trail -- game0::clearing;
? Try it??
step 1 for the BASIC zine would be to collect enough program listings
step 2 is typing them in myself to confirm the programs work, and also to provide digital copies of the programs
step 3 is collecting or writing some non-program listing articles. perhaps write ups on some kit computers or homebrew microcomputers
step 4 is to take the articles and format it into a document, published in print (PDF) and electronically (plain HTML)
*
step 1 is easy enough, having around 10 program listings would be ideal
step 2 is tedious, but not actually difficult, it will take the most time
step 3 will be the step that involves the most complexity. using articles by other authors will require navigating intellectual property concerns. writing original articles will take effort, but is not as complex as republishing others' work.
step 4 - trivial.

The ActivityPub standard (by @cwebber, @tsyesika, @erincandescent, @rhiaro, @evan) is a joy to read.
Initial impression: “Like email” is actually a good initial mental image for how it works.
Some tweaks for better integration with https://bsky.brid.gy (the BlueSky bridge by brid.gy).
A corner case bug in the media proxying code has been fixed.
Hashtags can now include underscores.
The server now creates a pidfile inside the data directory.
Mastodon API: fixed a crash in the notification code, fixed autocapitalization in the OAuth login field (contributed by fkooman).

This release has been inspired by the song Take Me To The River by #Kaleida.
as a kid, I had a floppy disc filled with text files I created where each text file represented a different type of thing and inside the file was a list of things of that type.
I was gonna teach my computer how to understand the world around me the way I understood it.
eventually, kid me realized that lists of types of things would be insufficient. I needed relationships, comparisons, differentiations, assumptions, all sorts of complexity.
I gave up.
the titans of industry are still kids.
"SeaUBoot" ROM images now available in Libreboot. This will feature in the next release.
Implemented in this patch:
https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/commit/?id=7d1fd1cc6a176d15d8a938cd0df9868cbbb86d8f
These images have SeaBIOS, GRUB and U-Boot. Boot anything you want in SeaBIOS by pressing ESC to access the menu; this includes GRUB, which is still in flash.
With SeaUBoot, a bootorder file makes SeaBIOS boot U-Boot from flash first, unless interrupted.
Same concept as SeaGRUB.
Nice UEFI-first setup.
Gonna try *UEFI* OpenBSD. Installation and booting.
I've come to the conclusion that computers after 1990 are not just a mistake, but do not exist.
