i’ve been working on my nerd posture and honestly you’d be surprised at how fucked up your body gets from leering at a screen with your grubby little claws tapping at a keyboard all day

i haven’t seen an increase in it in japan but maybe there’s more english language corn recommendation content because it’s popular to visit japan, korea, china, etc rn

a work of art is a creature that wants to destroy you and replace you with something else. it is in your interest that you allow this to happen, sometimes

Jana H-S (they/she) @jana-aych-ess.bsky.social · 24d

counterpoint: it is good and correct to view engaging with a piece of art as an act of consumption. you just have it backwards. *you* are the thing being consumed

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

Everyone knows that the x86 ISA is big. 

Modern CPUs have ~1000+ mnemonics. Guess how many make up 90% of compiled C/C++ code?

TWELVE. I'm not kidding.

The question is…what if we shrank it?

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON.

Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

when people ask me why i do pull ups i tell them it’s so that if i fall into a 6ft hole i’ll be able to pull myself out and not die of starvation and it makes them really mad for some reason
