I went to #TransPride today. Got there half an hour after the march was due to start, and went to the back to watch them take another hour to get moving because there were so many people there of such gloriously diverse natures. I had a moment when I realised that when I was in my 20s something like this would be unimaginable. It's amazing to see our progress, and we must demand more.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I once built a one page script to generate our VAT export return from LedgerSQL. Awk. All Awk.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party @CiaraNi@mastodon.green I will admit I've started doing that. And the zigzagging.

@roxy@chitter.xyz no ai bro can vibe write a 20 volume fantasy series with a riff in volume 20 they set up in volume 1. This is a subtoot at Seanan fucking McGuire.

@theogrin@chaosfem.tw @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @belehaa@wandering.shop there's people pulling crypto mining hardware and turning it into gaming rigs. Fingers crossed.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @belehaa@wandering.shop if by fire you mean marines with high explosive visiting the data centres, then I think we're all good with that.

@nycki@bark.lgbt forwarded that to a colourblind colleague who does a lot of graphics design, lovely tip?

@PavelASamsonov@mastodon.social Torment GNU/us, as my fellow hebephile Jeffrey suggested.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social in their 50s they move back to Debian Testing because they have the experience to report bugs

@MyWildlifeAllotment saw this, thought "brilliant idea!" Went to make a note in Keep. Apparently I'm going to "drill holes for BTS" and now I want to watch the BTS-as-solitary-bees manga

@kevin i'm going to say the OCCAM people must have written papers on this? David May?

@gsuberland@chaos.social @elsactivitypub@goto.freakstic.fr @mudkip@wetdry.world if someone booted Linux on a 4004, I'm pretty sure we can get a PIC to do it. But just because we can, does that mean we should? (The not so mad scientist mantra)

@jamesbritt@mastodon.social @wackJackle@norden.social that's an awesome book.

@mlbellar @ErikUden there's a lot of CIA wars missing from that list!

@jimmynohands@mastodon.ie @murphyslawyer@mstdn.social @dublininquirer@mastodon.ie ooh a paper on Mastodon, like, subscribe, follow :)

@Verna Moderate!!

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop " The air vibrated with that very specific end-of-empire energy where your brain says this is insane but your soul says don’t stop, this is sacred." And that's before the dildos come in to play

@gsuberland@chaos.social @erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @elsactivitypub@goto.freakstic.fr @mudkip@wetdry.world no over clocking community here. Mind you, port the RTL to a modern procesa node and watch the die melt.

@grork@mastodon.social @mrchrisadams@mastodon.social ah fair enough so all the deployments are by the government, no independent ones yet. That needs fixing :)

@DotMaetrix@chitter.xyz I had that at one more remove but yes. BBC Basic was such an amazing interpreter.

@DotMaetrix@chitter.xyz have you got "everything ever written in BBC Basic" because they all had Sophie Wilson to thank for the environment?

@grork@mastodon.social @mrchrisadams@mastodon.social installation instructions look a bit hairy but if you ever booted Linux off a floppy you compiled it's probably no worse https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs/blob/main/docs/installation.md

@CountBinface@mastodon.world once again, the alien emperor has his telepathic force-clench on the pulse of the nation. If we vote for you can we breathe again??

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st just turns it into a flower shop or an airline. Noone wants that. Not even the operators.

@zephoria sudo send out the survey to your friends.

@jimmynohands@mastodon.ie @murphyslawyer@mstdn.social ah that makes sense!

@fesshole@mastodon.social I salute you Ma'am as the finest exemplar of opsec.

@_elena@mastodon.social @johl@mastodon.xyz how big does a boat have to be in English to be "she"? I ask that as a native speaker.

@holothuroid (draft; didn't read)

@dkegel@infosec.exchange @gsuberland@chaos.social @elsactivitypub@goto.freakstic.fr @mudkip@wetdry.world just need another light-year of tape for the Turing machine...

@erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net @gsuberland@chaos.social @elsactivitypub@goto.freakstic.fr @mudkip@wetdry.world I mean half the "theory of computation" concepts make you cry for a single fucking register in a risc machine with an ALU. https://github.com/craigthelinguist/minsky isn't even the worst.

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st the whole variable price thing means that the economics are like the economics of flower shops or airlines, where a seat/flower varies in price dramatically depending on when you buy it.

@krystian_kulesz@mastodon.com.pl A Half Built Garden, Ruthanna emrys. Governance by watershed

@nixCraft@mastodon.social also, you missed Forth. For the joy of knowing you can put your code on an FPGA in a corner.

@gsuberland@chaos.social @elsactivitypub@goto.freakstic.fr @mudkip@wetdry.world the 4004 Linux boot emulated a mips core. I have used PIC12 and yeah, probably easier to run a Turing machine and use qspi as tape :)

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st how much of this stems from the fake "cheap tickets" thing of selling tickets weeks early for specific times and trains so you can claim that the average price of your tickets is lower?

@murphyslawyer@mstdn.social that is a lovely interview! Weird short paragraphs, mind?
