Zig-on-N64 progress continues, now with video output! fsl.yellowapple.us/zig64/info/d...
A Nintendo 64 console (connected to a CRT television) running a ROM written in Zig, demonstrating the ability to turn the screen yellow (or whatever approximation of it the TV and its horribly-miscalibrated color output can muster). Ares emulator running a ROM written in Zig, demonstrating both the ability to log debug messages and the ability to turn the screen yellow.

So does that mean the meat should be served before the fish, and eaten with only a knife and no fork? And then dinner after the fish? And then seafood after dinner?

It disturbs me that the Salad Fork and Salad Knife are in the same position relative to the other forks/knives, but the Fish Fork and Fish Knife are not.

Allegedly also criminals intercepting/reselling aid shipments, but I recall the IDF to be the main ones claiming that (as part of the justification for holding shipments at the border), and needless to say I take anything they say with a Gaza-sized grain of salt.

My understanding is that it's some combination of smuggling, tapping into reserves people have hoarded, and whatever agriculture is still able to happen in a warzone.

I ain't as optimistic that he won't try to run (if he doesn't keel over first). His administration aleady blatantly ignores every other law inconvenient to it; might as well blatantly ignore the 22ⁿᵈ Amendment, too, while they're at it.

Nice! Pretty sure that's faster than I am; had to get formally tested for my first job (law enforcement clerical) and only got 71, but that was 15 years ago lol

Tried on my phone and got 58wpm@97%. Not bad for my fat thumbs.

Between this and the modern discourse around “AI” I feel like we're on a trajectory toward making Dune actually happen and I don't think I like the implications of that.

Which of course is impossible to see because the Bluesky app hates images with transparent backgrounds lmao
The above image, but screenshotted because Bluesky and transparent images go together like peanut butter and gasoline.

The logo in the top-left corner of that website includes the “EST. 1919”.

The Fenrir would be more eyebrow-raising for me if there were literally any examples of it being used as a Nazi emblem (rather than, as I've seen, representative of the Nazis' Soviet adversaries — which would be on brand with Platner's online remarks).

This exact situation is why God blessed the world with Firefox + Tree Style Tabs.
“Damn, bitch, you live like this?” Max asks Roxanne after seeing she uses Chrome with hundreds of open tabs even though pretty much every other modern browser has had vertical tabs for years now and would be able to handle this situation without looking absolutely batfuck insane.

(The other trick, once I was old enough to know how to install PC games myself, was to “sail the high seas”, so to speak. This is also how we got most of our music; my stepdad would even listen to the dialup noises and be able to predict if Bearshare would download a song in an hour v. overnight.)

Neither of my parents were particularly rich (maybe lower-middle class, at most) and yet both were able to afford video game systems. The trick was to buy the cartridges/discs on the used market (incl. old stock from Blockbuster as they cleared out older games to make room for newer ones).

64GB flash drives come out to less than $5 each if you buy 'em in bulk.

Alternately, it used to be common for AAA games to ship on multiple discs if needed.

Only a matter of time before someone makes a Doom mod that hooks up to Curiosity and lets the player drive it around. Input latency would be atrocious (unless the player's on Mars), but it'd still be neat.

The endgame here is to run Doom on a Mars rover.
