It's Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat, the first game that came up when I hit my "random NES game" button. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ this was to connect to my our washing machine, which came with a card advising us to connect to the wifi features, and the manual told us to connect to the wifi features. I told the app which model we had, it told me which button to press to connect to the wifi, and after trying that for 5 minutes I go and check the store page... npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I just had to confirm to my washing machine that I'm over 18 npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ OH GOODY THE CONTROLS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN SKETCH MODE npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ The best time to pick up a new 3d editor is when you're already pissed off at another failing, you're medically unable to watch any tutorial videos, and your eyes are too blurry to read small text npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I'm used to them all using different ways to move the camera, but I was REALLY not expecting "hold the middle button and left mouse, BUT you have to press middle button first or it won't work" npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I have opened FreeCAD for the first time npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…5x5d @nprofile…005v actually now that I think about it, the reason why was 100% that I didn't have a pascal compiler. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…5x5d @nprofile…005v my grandmother was a programmer! she did PASCAL, and even gave me a book about it, but it didn't catch for some reason npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…005v the funny thing is both the BASICs I grew up on (Q/Quick and Visual) didn't use line numbers. I only got into traditional lube number BASICs later, for retro computing npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ early 90s alice is an alternate path my live could take, not an accurate representation of myself then, btw. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Early 90s Alice: BOY I HOPE I'M NOT EDITING INI FILES FOR THE NEXT THREE DECADES, I GOT INTO THIS PROGRAMMING THING TO WRITE PASCAL! npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I remember back in the 2000s I was maintaining some Java code using Spring and thinking there was too much fiddling with XML documents and not even coding for my blood. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Oh hey they updated their pharmacy page! npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ https://digipres.club/@foone/116874652336009988 npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ A HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ all my meds are ready! npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ after 2 months of trying to get migraine meds, I finally today got a whole new doctor, and they send off a new migraine prescription to my pharmacy, who say they're filling them (and some other unrelated meds). and I specifically checked that it was a medication my insurance covered! npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ ahh, the alpine linux wiki doesn't use Anubis to filter out scraper bots, it uses go-away. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ as someone dealing with migraines, WHY ARE ALL PHARMACY WEBSITES BRIGHT FUCKING WHITE? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ it turns out my insurance says that they need prior auth from either my doctor... or me. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I have been trying to get on this medication for TWO MONTHS and if it turns out the reason that I've been in pain all this time is because someone can't URLencode a space properly in a PDF format that they faxed in, I'm going to be SLIGHTLY CROSS npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ calling my doctor to get him to switch me to a different migraine medication. not because I think it'll work better, but because "Ubrelvy" is one word so my fantastic incompetence of my insurance company's coders won't be able to URLencode it into not working npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ look, it's simple to get a prescription, but you have to makes sure the base-64 encoded json in your telegram is valid npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ ..-. ..- -.-. -.- / -.-- --- ..- / .- -. -.. / - .... . / ..-. .- -..- / -- .- -.-. .... .. -. . / -.-- --- ..- / .-. --- -.. . / .. -. / --- -. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I'm sorry you can't download this file, your email didn't contain valid morse code npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ HOW ARE YOU CAUSING URL ENCODING ERRORS ON A FORM THAT YOU HAVE TO FAX IN? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ ahh, my insurance has a form for pre-approval of the prescription medication "Nurtec%20ODT" npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ anyway I never explained what this modified dictionary does: it lowercases the whole thing. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ another Late IRC English thing is preferring emoticons to emoji, but that mainly is just because support used to be abysmal. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ fun fact: in one of my story serieses (The Dimensional Nexus), this has evolved into the dominant form of english, and it's gone a little farther: they've stopped using apostrophes entirely, and dropped the distinction between cardinals and ordinals. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ although another feature of Late IRC English is the question-without-a-questionmark. usually in the case of the flat-what, where it's implied npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ you don't need to capitalize the first letter of a sentence for the same reason you don't use punctuation at the end of your sentence: we have lines here, the end-of-sentence is implied npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ Late IRC English uses capitalization for: npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ maybe I should just define it as en-IRC and let websites choke on my weird language code npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ okay my new dictionary is in place and working again. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ oh I can disable updating the dictionary. that may be the simple solution I'm looking for. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I have four complaints about firefox and two of them are the fucking autoupdates npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I wonder if I can just mark the dictionary read-only and keep firefox from updating it, or if that'll fail because it does the tempfile-rename trick npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ computers were a mistake, networked computers doubly so npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ so it seems my "hack the firefox dictionary" fix is going to un-hack itself every time firefox updates the en-US dictionary. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ it's about the hierarchy of ease of use npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ my favorite thing about modern software is that it's just as easy as always to hack it to work properly, except now it'll auto-update in a week and overwrite your hacks npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ it has an RF remote using a 433mhz signals. I COULD build some kind of dongle (or use an SDR) to send those, but I think I might just punt and use a spare tp-link smart power switch. it's trivial to use the python library to send POWER OFF/POWER ON commands at it npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I thought about hooking it up to my calendar, but that seems error-prone. I think instead I'm gonna have a cronjob watching for Zoom instances npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ so I have a little "ON AIR" sign and a remote that I can use to turn it on and off npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ If I'm using this SDR properly (dubious), it looks like it's using 433mhz channel 36, at 433.950khz npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ It looks like those mosfets are for the oscillator and the antenna trace, not the LED. Makes sense I guess, whatever MCU this is can handle a low-power LED just fine npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ maybe I'll just switch to qemu + freedos instead of dosemu2 in a docker container. other than the command line arguments changing, qemu is pretty stable over time npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ someone should invent a containerization format with the explicit goal of being supported forever, by switching out emulation layers npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ clearly I need to run docker on ubuntu 18.04 inside an even bigger newer container. every decade or so, I slap another emulation around it npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ I'm running Borland Turbo C++ for MS-DOS from 1993 and the reason it doesn't work is because Ubuntu 18.04 is too old npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ the funny part is that the only reason it uses docker is to build dosemu2, because this is actually a DOS program npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ sure would have been nice if I had made this independent of network access back in 2024 but I was busy npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ ugh. docker. I stopped working on a project that used docker for 2 years because I got ill and now the images won't build, because they depended on ubuntu and runs apt update in the build npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ requirement chains are fun! npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ though the 10" 60hz model also works with "some android phones", and there doesn't seem to be a client for that, so I think maybe they support plain USB-C video there? npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ my understanding is that they are not using any standard video protocol, they have a custom agent running on the PC/mac, which sends some kind of partial updates to the epaper display. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ you can supposedly VISA mount the 13" model too... except the VISA mount is a magnet. It doesn't actually secure the QUITE EXPENSIVE display, which is scary, considering this thing requires at least 2 cables (power + HDMI/USB-C) npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ and I was planning on using it on two machines: mac and windows. npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ looking into dasung paperlike monitors, and WOW npub135xx0y770mwjtvlxln7jun5mxqwwctr72aafmnczglny6lpuwdlqlkgtu7 Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️ okay so I did some more research.
