64-bit computers are cool, i can mmap terabytes of data and it's actually very easy barely even an inconvenience
meanwhile on a 32-bit computer mmap isn't much better than just copying stuff into ram since your address space is the size of a postage stamp

having to be on guard literally all of the time is the main reason i sought disability accommodations so i could be guaranteed my own sleeping space, i spent one week with a roommate during orientation and i got anxious every time i heard the beep from my neighbor's card reader for months
hot take, college dorm rooms are inhumane in a way people are way too eager to accept
tf do you mean y'all are okay not having any private space for months at a time? where do you change? what if they get sick? even when you're alone you know they might just Show Up

after moving my monitor to my college apartment i have acquired a new friend: the Nefarious Blue Line
a hockey stick is a prosthetic foot for your arms so they can play soccer too
genuinely baffling as someone who couldn't tell a football from a curling stone to hear about people having serious social conflicts over a game they aren't even playing
gonna be honest. if you can't behave like an adult around someone who prefers a different sports team, that is your problem. wait until you find out other people have different favorite colors too

i am up at 1:30 AM trying to unfuck my email setup and i want to **strangle someone**
stalwart is total garbage but somehow none of the other mailservers in nixpkgs have any way to set a ratelimit for an external smtp relay that i can find
how i wish calendar and address book applications would just let me point them at a directory of ics and vcf files and manage them with syncthing instead of dealing with The Horrors (caldav and carddav)

maybe if the user's running the same app on multiple computers, the browser could help them negotiate a webrtc channel or something
would be neat if browsers had a way for web apps to store data that gets synced along with extensions and passwords and such instead of having to maintain their own infrastructure for that

every time i see one of the new foldable phones i can't help but think how much simpler and more practical the design would be if they just built it with two screens, it would still be super impractical since multitasking on a phone is silly but at least it would last more than a year

Screenshot of a tumblr post about giving kids desktop computers instead of tablets or phones, because you can't take it everywhere with you and it's all just so much more wholesome. I miss my Gateway that came in a massive cow print box
This is so true. Bring back computer rooms!
would be cool if #blender had a DAW
no idea if this would work but it would be very cool to get a bluetooth-enabled qmk keyboard's usb controller to switch to host mode so you could plug in a mouse and have the keyboard forward it over bluetooth

wow i wonder what kind of social factors could give people with certain facial features more opportunities for success on the job than others, i guess we'll never know

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.
i'm possessed by the urge to write a fanfiction where columbo solves the five nights at freddy's missing children's incident

stay strong @cpsc.gov you're the only part of the federal government that i still respect
llms are overrated. i can also write 1000 lines of incomprehensible code in one file with no testing, the difference is that when i do that it sometimes works the first try

alien: human, your mythology talks about megafauna that lived all across your planet, but from our surveys it seems that the vast majority of surviving species live in your "Africa"
human: haha don't worry about itttt
alien: what did you do
i think android should have a way to pin notifications, maybe a way to pass the contents of a notification into a share intent so it could feed into whatever app you use for todos
would be useful for triaging emails and such

y'all are saying my timeblind ass has to go into an extremely comfy and warm room with no clocks and perform a satisfying task every morning to stay clean, but if i spend more than 20 minutes in there i'm "wasting water"? that's some bullshit fr
