The plan is to make it readable once it's functional. The moment I found out the AGC is open source, I knew I wanted to port it to C. dunno why

I've been using projects and threads on my phone to port the Apollo 11 Guidance Computer software to C lol github.com/koalabuttz/A... maxing out the $200 plan in 2-3 days each week 💀

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

update: the owner of my fave cafe just unprompted suggested I could come in for some weekend shifts

I'm writing a mod in C# and it's reporting a warning on line 3 of a file but the warning is blank for some reason so the "problems" overview just looks like this

happy coming out day, i wanted to share a zine i made a while back about being trans. for anyone out there who may need to hear it, i support you and see you for who you are. if you're cis & straight, the best thing you can do is stand up for your queer friends. treat them just like anyone else.

ok girlies I think I'm cooked bc I get nervous thinking about holding her hand again

this is an excellent point. while I still think AI can be useful and exciting for some retro gamers (me), it makes sense that they're the kinds of folks who would want to stick with the "old way" of doing things. and I think that's totally fine!

David Shadoff@dshadoff.bsky.social

More than once, an AI type said things like "it's inevitable, just accept it". They were only being asked to have discussion separately, and apparently that's too much of a burden. Ironically, this was a retrogaming discord. The one place where people definitively don't accept the inevitable.

and while I've found a lot of retro gamers are anti-ai to an extreme, I like to imagine a future where both approaches are respected for different reasons

The numbers are in and the single biggest predictor of follower growth is... follower count

the owner of the cafe I frequent keeps going "make it yourself!" as a joke and one of these days I'm just gonna do it

I get to help ppl from all kinds of backgrounds achieve their creative vision for projects, even if they don't know how to code. david from february would be shocked

No sorry anyway actually yeah absolutely! Anyway sorry so, I mean indeed serious. Yeah yes, slightly serious.

I fear this is a hot take to many but it's hard for me to disagree. Anyone who wants to learn and grow should have the resources to do so. it's one of the most beautiful parts of humanity imo

hailey@hailey.at

okay but imo a person should be allowed to pirate all their textbooks because they want to learn from them. and a person should be able to download every book in the world because they want to write a future novel. locking away knowledge and learning behind money is bad.

code is now open source so you can run your own proxy service if you want github.com/j4ckxyz/mock... as a warning, this was all claude. i can't vouch for its security, but i can tell you it works lol

jack@j4ck.xyz

well i just got bluesky working on old twitter apps in this lol set a custom API url (root & search endpoints) in the login page, both to `http://mockingbird.j4ck.xyz` and then enter your username + an app password (over http, be careful!)

i feel like the small bsky AI community here is not really EA or e/acc but it does seem to have evolved its own three distinct strains: soberminded competent commentary, demoscene manic vibe coding, and pseudo-esoteric horny AI liberationists
