I should have expected the rug-pull at the end when I read:

You may know me as a Bitcoin educator and engineer

However, I was still surprised!

It looks really cool!

I’ve seen so many early-development/prototype P2P projects and so few mature ones. I wonder what’s driving this!

They’re actually terrific for porn in theory because they are the only (I think?) VR glasses that can record VR video.

Unfortunately (for everyone I guess?) that’s not what Apple has in mind.

Better source

As a reminder:

DirectX 8.0 as a reminder was introduced in late 2000 and went on to power games like Serious Sam: The FIrst Encounter, Max Payne, Star Wars: Starfighter, Grand Theft Auto III, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and many other titles now hitting around the 20+ year mark

people are always calling for the ‘year of the linux desktop’ and then turn around and do backlash to try to keep things obfuscated and unfriendly to the average human

To be fair to both of these groups in my impression those are usually separate people. People definitely have different visions for what good design is here.

The thing that strikes me as bad is when Unix conservatives (for lack of a better term) actively resists features to support use in modern, bit-mapped graphics as opposed to 70’s teletype terminals etc. But that’s just a terrible position, not necessarily hypocrisy, assuming they don’t care about Linux as the kernel in a desktop operating system for people whose hobby is not configuring their computer.

Now that is news, and a much, much worse thing when it’s an expressed policy than when it’s “please don’t submit a tiny change to only documentation as a PR that’s just annoying”.

It must be an allusion to Stalingrad and presumably the battle there where the red army beat the crap out of the nazis, so you’re not wrong.

You’re joking but this is literally a plan I have

Look, it’s my favourite energy drink Peal Doul!

Joking aside that image is disgusting? Why is it so disgusting?

You joke but I realised I feel exactly the same about this as I do about the choice of C++, which is: deep sigh ok sure

This framing made me read the comment in the link as a transphobic joke (“ha ha I won’t accept your change of gender ie will misgender you”) which would have been a pretty smoking gun if left there, and in case anyone else makes the same incorrect interpretation I’d like to warn them that they’re talking about grammatical gender, in the PR.

I think it’s a stretch to call this transphobia; if anything it’s good ol’fashioned sexism, but a pretty tame one.

Apparently the instruction set is off-brand MIPS64?!

I’m not an American but my impression is the Supreme Court is mainly designed as a last bulwark to ensure the US never under any circumstances ever does anything remotely good and this isn’t exactly improving that impression.

Am I doing something wrong, it scrolls fine for me?

I’m a bit worried about their choice of name

Sweden’s mostly on Meta Messenger. WhatsApp is the foreign exchange student protocol.

Can you (or a human) expand NPM, presumably not the Node Package Manager?

I tried but it turns out writing device drivers it very very boring
