This period of time will come eventually. nb/ace, perpetually tired you may know me from @esmbot.net or @wetdry.world this is my public account. personal/"primary" is at @apub.essem.space, more ramblings are at @esm.this-is-epic.space
i have now seen two completely different malware samples work by downloading bun from the internet and executing some malicious javascript with it
my theory that any software that uses bun as a dependency is not worth using has yet to be disproven
played half life 2 and let my chat write in-game commands live
made an attempt at porting @sirocyl.bsky.social 's legendary "I broke IKEA" cohost post to video so it can live on (because archive.org appears to have broken the embed in its capture, unfortunately)
shoutouts to the discord employee whose job it is to maintain the decade-old, first-party bot that plays airhorn sounds in voice chat
most of the time whenever i try to help someone with a windows-related issue now the cause is usually a massive UX failure on microsoft's part
amazing how much they were able to pull off graphically on the N64 💖💖💖
banjo-kazooie is such a timeless game 💖
ronaldinho soccer 64 was a psyop. the whole time. it never existed, i was the one that created those ROMs and cartridge shells and blogposts and stack exchange answers. you all have been played for fools
Inkbox氏の最新動画良い 単なるファミコンのクローン機に留まらない、拡張性を担保したファミコン互換機なんてあったんだ こういうちゃんとした設計思想が感じられるモノ(非公式)はかなり珍しいから歴史的背景含めて鑑賞するとめっちゃ面白い youtu.be/IZH1rR7WogI?...

u cannot have a meaningful discussion about content moderation and automation so long as content moderation is considered 'trivial work' by the average person
GO! MY LABUBU MISSILE! KILL!
arguable whether i'm a "creative person" but uh friends i believe so (at least i hope so!), i can't tell whether my family cares for any reason other than money however
If you're a creative person, do you have friends and family that actually care about anything you make?
despite what posts on here may lead you to believe, it is, in fact, very much possible to preserve ios/android games (and in the case of android, it's almost trivial) afaict the reason why the state of mobile game preservation is Like That is because nobody gives enough of a damn about mobile games
this post is a reminder that Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is the enemy, not digital-only content we can scrape and back up CDNs and decryption keys! we can fight the restrictions imposed upon us, and this is by no means a battle we are losing. not giving up to doomerism that easily bucko
"digital games always become lost media" is not true. you may think it's true but i promise you if you archive (link) and then use passcode "frAQBc8Wsa1xVPfvJcrgRYwTiizs2trQ" you can in fact preserve a digital only game. not that i would encourage *redistributing* copyrighted content, of course...
