mastodon 4.8.0-alpha.3+glitch.anarres.familyI make, procrastination permitting. Hang out otherwise.
(she/her 🏳️⚧️)
Mostly post and boost tech stuff and trans stuff, with a sprinkling of art and photography here and there.
Avatar/banner drawn by me, the former is a snap from a storyboard of the character i ended up being, the later is something random i drew in a depressed mood and kinda liked.
Also know as Lona Lit.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family @CordiallyChloe@tech.lgbt @me@jaehanley.social Was he just preaching at you, or did he try to have some sort of a dialog at some point?

@faithisleaping@anarres.family Oh, there you are. Changing the avatar made you visually disappear for me for a couple of days. 🤣

@BryanGreyson@social.tchncs.de Hm, that sounds like someone fixed the buttons and just slapped in whichever one they found in the box without realizing the dots meant something.
I would try to report that as an improper maintenance/repair.
Now rest! 💜

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Hm, is that new tho? The first time i heard about ADHD, in the early 00s, was in the context of it being a hoax.
Replying to
@faithisleaping@anarres.family There are no days that i regret quitting software a decade ago.
Brand new sentence i came across today: "adversarial hallucination squatting".
Which is exactly what it sounds like - grabbing the domain names, github repos, and such that are commonly hallucinated by LLM tools, and filling them with malware.
Replying to
@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw Hm, i got a friend who got some pet slime mold.
He calls it Jerry.

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @fanf@mendeddrum.org Depends on how cool you need to go, i guess. The one i dealt with had it all integrated into an LED-sized package.
Wayland.
xdg_toplevel.configure can return zeroes. Which means it's your job to define the window size. As it is clearly written in the protocol xml. Which i totally read, instead of figuring this out by trial and error for an hour. Totally.

@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw Hm, i haven't watched broadcast tv in decades, so the last time i've seen any sitcoms was back then. I did see some, but none of the big names or ones i can remember enough to google up.

@sophia81@icosahedron.website AFAIK i had to actually set up a PTY via /dev/ptmx and everything to get proper output in my terminal emulator.
And how it's done is different on every effing platform / os.
Two months left until the anniversary of my Canadian work permit application...
Wonder if i should apply for a tourist visa, just for the lols.
Best case scenario, it might kick something loose in their bureaucracy.
And if for some reason they do grant it, at least i'll be able to go visit Canada and meet some friends next year.

@transcendentempress@eldritch.cafe Well, it developed that this is misinformation.
The GBA BIOS i acquired two decades ago is actually the prototype BIOS, which actually sounds different.
And it's the one i've been using ever since, blissfully unaware of it's existence and occasionally wondering why haven't any emulator ever fixed the sound thing.
Once you get a release BIOS, the emulators do sound almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Sorry, and thank you for prompting me to finally look into it.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family Hm, now i wonder which of the many ways to translate it would fit you best...

@faithisleaping@anarres.family Oh, I'm just a girl, lucky me. 🎶
Oh, I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? 🎶
I'm 3D printing a thing that have zero chances of coming off the build plate intact...
Yet i persist.

@transcendentempress@eldritch.cafe Here is an apples to apples comparison of the sounds.
Replying to
@transcendentempress@eldritch.cafe Hm, it does sound off a bit in a way i struggle to describe.
Like the speaker/amp on the real thing adds some distortion to the ideal waveform the emulators are making.

@faithisleaping@anarres.family Multiple names? I feel like i skipped a few chapters somewhere in the last year or two. 🤣

@emmalilian@eldritch.cafe My dear, you lost more that my entire weight.
That is a major accomplishment. 💜

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @fanf@mendeddrum.org They do work great when you need to cool and temperature control something like an IR sensor. But anything bigger than that is nah.

@computer@facts.computer ...while slowly rewriting all the world's software in it as a hobby and a form of art, none of which will ever see the light of day.
If only it was possible to show off software.
Replying to on tech.lgbt
@ria@tech.lgbt Ow. That's not fun. 🫂
But yeah, in my experience it's about 50/50 if they would care or not, but so far every time they did it was relatively straightforward taking-a-look-and-waving-me-through kind of a thing.
Replying to
@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Could be the other way too. The rise of AI art have all but killed my ability to gather any motivation to practice.
If you are good at it, you might look at the robot with boredom or contempt.
If you are shit at it, however, looking at the robot is just depressing.
Still no temptation, tho.

@wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe Nice. I have a similar era sony uxn thingy, and firefox refused to work at all. Guess 512 Mb of RAM is just not enough.
