It's nice to see that this is still going. Way back in the mid-'90s I actually collected up patches and put together a release of the FreeMiNT kernel, when no one else seemed to be working actively enough on it to do so. It looks like I'm still in the changelog to this day. Noyce.
It's London Comic Con Winter this weekend and I kind of want to spider up and go, but also I kind of want to just⦠not. I would like to see my Spidey friends again, but on the other hand it's a longer trip from the new house than from the old one, it's a big effort, I have stupid amounts of stuff to do, and⦠I just don't have energy any more. Anyone I know going?
The worst part about aging is that βa long time agoβ gets more and more recent feeling. What do you mean 2010 was βa long time agoβ???? It was 2010 like five minutes ago.
@Captain Packrat @Tilton Raccoon We're already a quarter of the way through the 21st century β that same 21st century that used to be cool and futuristic and a long way off and held the promise of flying cars and jetpacks.
I find I see only 2-3 years ago being quoted as "old" distressingly often these days. I've been running my current little business since 2006/7 and my eldest neice, who has recently started college(!) is actually younger than that, yikes.
Me and some great beans from the Furs For Life team were invited to join the Seattle Extra Life Game On event! It was awesome to meet other Extra Life players and Extra Life staff!
They also surprised us with an award for all our efforts over the years! ;~; β€
I want something like this on my garage. "Battle Fox" by ApexStudioLeeds (Also: first I've heard of the Kirkstall Art Trail - I've been here nearly 40 years and the city of #Leeds keeps surprising me)
Now that Halloween is over, don't put your plastic skeletons in the bin. There are many ways they can be recycled and one of the best is to have them join a political party or one of the christo-fascist 'think' tanks. Not only does this prevent plastic going to landfill, but it populates those organisations with members with more emotional stability, a fairer mindset and much deeper empathy and sense of social responsibility.
A plastic skeleton would do better at doing the literal least for no harm to the party than Canada's Conservative leader who now has Harper pissed off at him
Thank you so much! Selkie absolutely knocked it out of the park. I love my V1 suit to bits, but the added sharpness and character and life of the new V2 just blows my mind and I can't wait to give it its first proper wear this weekend. :)
And donβt come me with that is unrealistic and unnecessary: how many companies where hit with encrypt and delete all malware again these last years ?

Yesterday got to be a bat at a Halloween event at the museum I volunteer at. Was a ton of fun and had one little girl running around exclaiming, "Bat! Bat! Bat!" X3

an actually good language shouldn't have pronouns, just variables, where you're obligated to explicitly defined who/what you're assigning that variable to, or have a consistent definition of what pronouns are referring to, like "this 'pronoun' is for referencing first mentioned proper noun"
Grand Prix of Europe (2025) - Nachtkraab He is based on Nachtkrapp from German folklore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_raven "If it is seen by little children, it will abduct them into its nest and messily devour them, first ripping off their limbs and then picking out their heart"
I watched Elio last night, and realised I was going to like the title character the instant the film started and we see him hiding under the table in the cafeteria. Also, Glordon is cute⦠at least for an alien that looks like a slug with rows and rows of huge teeth.
I meant to get Kelsey out and about a bit for Halloween, or at least able to answer the door to trick-or-treaters, but nope, I'm just too exhausted and grumpy to do anything useful today. My dad apparently gave sweets to three kids in Halloween costumes who turned up at the door with their parents, so at least something happened. Weather's pretty horrible though.
every fucking time. I remember staring into the teachers eyes, silently asking for help, while getting punched over and over. He did nothing. Then I punched back and got immediately thrown out of school for the day. I also remember yelling and shooting at him. He just smiled.
When I was a kid, I could just walk outside. There were no cameras, there was no smartphone betraying my every move, there was nothing but me, the breeze, and the quiet of the countryside as I walked. Most of us will never know how that feels ever again. To be truly outside the reach of the constant surveillance state we now live in. I feel so bad for the people that will never experience real privacy, those who will never be able to truly "get away from it all". But we're already past that point for the majority of people, at least in the U.S., and increasingly in other countries.
I was lamenting about this very thing to my wife last night. There is nowhere to go to really escape for a while. I wander around our yard and garden sometimes to distract myself, but itβs really only temporary.
