so i guess bitbang is dying hm
@max yeah, sucks, even if i knew it was going to be kinda forgotten at some point (youtuber being a youtuber, not saying it as a bad thing tbh) but i still have a soft spot for it for being my instance for a couple of years hah
I stopped paying attention to him when he did that youtube video about writing classic mac software with Claude, ick.
The last thing #RetroComputing needs is slop.
Then I found out that his YT channel is now owned by some kind of management company or something? I dunno.
He hasn't posted to his fedi account in over a year.
As a #retrocomputing or #vintagecomputing aficionado, I don't bother with exploring SCO UNIX because...
| I've never forgiven SCO Group: | 6 |
| SCO UNIX isn't interesting enough: | 7 |
| SCO UNIX? Never heard of it: | 1 |
| The licencing makes it too much hassle: | 2 |

@fluidlogic I guess even for retrocomputing peeps this is mostly just too obscure, plus there’s more interesting platforms, even XENIX, the predecessor
Well you don’t see that everyday: Chinese plates in Amsterdam. The stickers declare they’re on a journey from Qingyang to Iceland
Alt...
A van with a 甘M license plate from China, a lot of country flag stickers, and a message in Chinese about Iceland or bust. Also a sticker that says “pizza tour”. Are they traveling the world to sample pizzas? goals.
@0xabad1dea hm, I’m surprised it’s legal to drive a car in the EU with Chinese plates and no indicator as to origin country!
@0xabad1dea I see your China and offer my Japan. I once saw a Japanese van driving along the inner Grachtenring of Amsterdam. Unfortunately I was driving so I couldn’t take a picture, but it had a lot of writing on the back doors explaining how/where they travelled to Amsterdam.
@0xabad1dea I do wondr how international license plate laws work. I've seen a few euro plates around here in the States and I don't know the legality of that. Are US plates valid over there?
@gudenau there's a lot of cooperation between governments on the plate thing – otherwise international trucking would be difficult indeed...
you'll see US plates in very strange places because the US military pays for shipping deployed families' personal vehicles and then makes the arrangements with the local governments to smooth it over
@0xabad1dea
The best pizzas are in Jokkmokk. Made by Persian (that's what they called themselves not Iranian) refugees. In 2001 anyway. I've never forgotten their kindness to a vati and his two hungry dottirs.
@csolisr you do in fact see cheese plates every day here in Amsterdam. you are never far from a plate of cheese.
@0xabad1dea They should be OK on the canals but that's not a suitable vessel for crushing the North Sea :-(.

Wow, I completely forgot Apple got rid of subpixel text antialiasing, even on non-retina displays. Many years ago, too.
@mwichary They’ve attached a generator to Steve’s corpse and now they’re destroying the company to make him spin
@mwichary yup, makes the non-steve-blessed screens terrible to use
@nikitonsky @skolima @mwichary I’m sticking to macOS 15 for as long as possible..
@nikitonsky @colinstu @skolima I think subpixel was removed in 10.14
@mwichary @nikitonsky @skolima I guess I just meant avoiding LiquidGlass anyways. The subpixel issue remains :<
@mwichary it’s a shame it’s gone on 1× displays because it remains my favorite subpixel rendering.
but iirc it was a lot of work to keep working with the variety of rendering engines that might do transforms on layers that contain text
@mwichary – Icons and text look horrible on my external display. Because Apple completely gave up to align to pixel grid and expects we all use Retina-displays and dump all our old big perfectly working 27“ 2560 x 1440 monitors.

@catsalad I didn’t notice the problem until I saw the replies, because this wasn’t actually my first account…
One of the top threads on the ClaudeAI subreddit right now: "I am done with this shit" https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wm5c21/i_am_done_with_this_shit/
Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering.
Bonus in that the Claude AI summary bot in the thread says:
> The Rise of the Meat Proxy: You're not an engineer anymore, you're an "organic vessel designed to press enter." Or, as one user so poetically put it, you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked. Your only real job is to be the warm body they can blame when the AI slop inevitably breaks.

lately it feels like 2 out of 3 posts on my feed are about AI and how much it sucks and it does and i get it but also it makes me want to die a little
@eniko Yeah... I think we need to try to focus on other stuff and try to ignore it a bit for our own sanity
@eniko at least there are still lots of small spaces that are not affected. But yeah it sucked. Even the gaming Istanbul cosplay/game show/gathering event, there were lots of ai stickers/games/posters everywhere. But i spend my time and money on the indie artists side. Some people even shouted "this is not fake, this is a concept!" like bruuhhhh that is clearly an ai pokemon card lmao
@eniko been making a personal effort to not post about it at all. i might retoot sometimes but i feel my energy is better spent writing things like "they call me pain killa cuz i be profen"
@eniko I saw your BSky post about this, shortly after I, myself, bitched about GenAI over there, ironically. But anyway. As bleak as things look, please don't give up :)
There's a certain Math and Computer Science teacher that I respect to whom I also want to say this to, but he's not on BSky or Fedi anymore, as far as I know.
Anyways, please stay determined and don't give up. Let's hope that things will get better together :)
after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as
- very mid ui design
- kinda floaty feeling
- unpolished vibe
android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on "locked down user hostility". overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders
Open Source hot take: A software project is allowed to be *done*. Not everything needs to add features or rewrite things. You can just be happy with functionality and focus on just maintainance. "Maintenance mode" is not always bad but can just show a mature product.
Sorry, only minimally sorry XD

@vintagerancher Should be live now or very soon!
if you're playing a game with dialogue choices and you do not meet the bar for a certain dialogue choice should the game:
| hide the choice entirely: | 47 |
| show it but have it grayed out/disabled: | 156 |
| something else: | 33 |
| show results: | 2 |
@eniko Grayed out with an icon telling what's the requirement to encourage replayability / different builds, like they do in Cyberpunk!
@eniko For me, disabled options help with roleplaying - they contextualise and remind me of my character's traits in a way that hidden options don't. (Marking the reason why I DO have access to options does the same in a positive way, and is probably even more important to me.)
@eniko I reckon it depends on the narrative and game design goals in that circumstance. Why don’t you meet the bar? Will you be able to revisit the dialogue? Will seeing it greyed out encourage or guide you to meet the bar? Will the missing dialogue spoil future activities? etc
@eniko I wonder whether it could be a thing to grant the player a way to 'compensate for the gap', e.g. by choosing a temporary stat boost by taking a debuff/disadvantage to still be able to choose an option
in TTRPGs you can e.g. spend your Luck stat permanently to offset just missing the target number of a roll
@eniko I think it depends on the game and situation. For a story-driven RPG where the dialogue is part of the plot and world-building, I probably would choose either "hide it" if it doesn't make sense for the player character to say that, or to have this option but let the NPC rejecting it. For a game where the player needs to say the same dialogue again and again, I would probably choose "show it but disable it".
@eniko Not too fond of this game design device in the first place. If it’s natural as in “can’t ask about thing I haven’t seen” but won’t mess things up, I think hide.
But often it’s used for “if I have a stat high enough” or similar, and sometimes it doesn’t even matter. But since you can’t go back and change it, and I won’t replay 100-200 hour games multiple times, it just feels frustrating.
So my unhelpful answer is, design something better.
(Said if was unhelpful! Not like I’m a respected game designer:) I’m just a gamer.)
I don't know what is more weird: that there are 144 bytes of writable Flash in each of my toothbrush heads, or that my phone can read them, or that my phone can't write into them because the toothbrush head is password-protected and does toothbrush-side cryptography checks. DRM in your toothbrushes is more likely than you think!
For now the toothbrush allows me to use heads that are "expired" or "inauthentic", but it is not unthinkable that one day there will be a toothbrush head with a larger Flash and a payload with a firmware update for the brush that will lock down the toothbrush.
I don't know what toothbrush you have, but my sister-in-law does PR for company making the sorts of brush you could be talking about. I have brushed off (ha-ha) her offers of gift devices. I don't want a toothbrush you might have to jailbreak
@nina_kali_nina Buy cheaper electric toothbrushes
@shinmera I've had the most cheap brushes, and they've been dying on me. And they still had a mysterious serial interface in them.
I'm vaguely curious whatever that was for.
@lispi314 @shinmera me two. I never managed to get to the bottom of this. I'd fully expect a firmware updater there, but this thing was trying to do more: https://github.com/ninakali/chip_scavenger/blob/main/src/scavenge/006_toothbrush/index.md
@nina_kali_nina have you probled BLE yet?
@Netraven I believe there is no BLE in this model 🤔 but then I didn't try hard enough
@nina_kali_nina there's a couple good BLE apps for probing local devices. I like NRF Connect, or LightBlue, for their simple interfaces. LightBlue is a lot friendlier in that it auto translates a lot of device ID's to the correct device type from some kind of index, whereas NRF Connect is more... "here's *ALL* the raw data." Both have their uses.
@nina_kali_nina Make a disposable camera EMP device, and EMP the toothbrush heads. Return the toothbrush and heads for a refund.
@nina_kali_nina My electric toothbrush (mechanical, not ultrasonic) uses dumb plastic heads which slide down over the handle's oscillator. I too would never want to return to a manual brush because of how much better a job this one does.
Oral B / Braun brand, if anyone is curious. The only thing I do not like is the non replaceable battery.
@nina_kali_nina A startup I was at did NFC anti-counterfeiting for upscale outerwear brands.
Why you might actually *want* "DRM" toothbrush heads: Know your teeth are getting the name-brand quality you're paying for, not shoddy heads pretending to be name-brand.
For the brand, besides locking consumers into only using brand's supplies with the device, there's an additional reason: anti-gray-market. They have global sales regions with different pricing, reseller deals, etc., and hate arbitrage.
@nina_kali_nina
Maybe replaceable.
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Braun_Oral-B_Toothbrush
When I added a Bluetooth interface to my home assistant it helpfully tried to add the neighbor's toothbrush to our managed devices.
@nina_kali_nina It blew my little mind when I first discovered that SD cards had a full SPI (?) stack implemented on them. I'm like... fuck... Turing gets everywhere. (similar feeling on discovering that a lot of BMSs have their own microcontrollers that might need firmware updates)
@muddle Flash is hard, SPI isn't that unexpected, and it's fairly simple.. but many other things are quite bizarre, like SIM cards and transport ticket cards running Java
@nina_kali_nina can you boot the toothbrush itself into single user mode?
@toots good one! ... as far as I can tell, the toothbrushes are likely PIC16 based. But then it is not like I haven't seen ARM chips in similar household items
@nina_kali_nina it should be possible to do Something about/with it. Maybe some un-soldered marks/pin on its motherboard, or something, to hook up something interesting, or by dumping its roms or memory
@toots the iirc the PIC I've had on my Braun epilator was write-only due to fuses. But it was otherwise programmable/hackable; I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same here
@nina_kali_nina due to your posts, it's an object of interest, anyways, but even if we get full control of it, I'm not sure it can even play 2d wolfenstein
@toots it probably can't, definitely not without any external RAM and storage - though I've seen some home computers based on similar microcontrollers. I checked photos of some repair guides, it seems all the controllers are PIC and the NFC is implemented on a separate chip that converts Mifare into UART and SPI.
The most common controller in the series seems to be PIC16F726, 14K of Flash for code, 368 bytes of RAM, fairly appropriate for a device of such size.
@toots it also means that the controller cannot be reprogrammed by itself. So if there's a kill switch, it must be pre-programmed
@nina_kali_nina what if there's an xbox og "cheramical" kill system though, I heard that had physical burn-out things/fuses to make things more difficult
@toots possible, but it is much easier and cheaper to use a soft fuse on the EEPROM of the microcontroller, if indeed such a mechanism is there
@nina_kali_nina which could be replaced, you mean? Kind of like an insert coin for three more lives/tries?
@toots i mean that they're stored in the software and thus software could unlock them if there's a provision for that. And if not, the spare microcontroller costs about $2. (The interesting part here is that for a single customer it is prohibitively expensive to repair the device, it might be cheaper getting a new one)
@nina_kali_nina yeah of course but that's cool, (yeah a beowulf cluster of toothbrushes; before they sell out.)

cD-- which apparently means "The client did not send nor acknowledge any data and eventually timeout client expired."So maybe I just need to increase that a bit.
timeout server definitely reduced the frequency of it, but hasn't eliminated it, so I'm wondering if I need to disable timeouts for the streaming API.I've just spent a cheerful hour of my time writing a program on my computer that will tell me instantly what the volume of the mound was. It's a very neat and sexy program with all sorts of pop-up menus and things, and the advantage of doing it the way I have is that on any future occasion on which I need to know the volume of a megapode nest, given its basic dimensions, my computer will give me the answer in less than a second, which is a wonderful saving of time. The downside, I suppose, is that I cannot conceive of any future occasion that I am likely to need to know the volume of a megapode nest, but no matter: the volume of this mound is a little over nine cubic yards.
— Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See.
I think about this whenever I see people banging on about how they built a whole load of infrastructure to keep their cocaine habit AI coding agent from not going off the rails, instead of just sitting down and writing the code directly.
(I swear these people have never heard of standard Unix text-processing tools such as sed, grep, etc, nor have they used an editor more sophisticated than notepad.exe.)
I think I will make my cool webapps available offline
To run code using service workers, you'll need to serve your code via HTTPS
cool okay I will throw my computer in a lake and go live in a cave
