(i hope there is also an option to display them with the letter "J"?) npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom russians 🤝 japanese saying "eto..." while the next words are still buffering npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom apparently wayland is about to get a feature called "explicit sync" that will make it work much better with nvidia's graphics card drivers... guess all the amd cards in my computers are gonna become worthless now :-( npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom an adventure game set in a randomly generated luxurious mansion: a bourgelike npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom question for #C programmers who deal with embedded low-level operations: just to be sure, constructions like *(volatile uint32_t*)0x069420 = 0x01234567; that is typically how memory-mapped register writes are written in C, right? npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom consider https://pool.jortage.com/tootcat/media_attachments/files/112/167/905/531/397/379/original/ba92101e1d98d711.png npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom work in progress #pixelart: tool icons for #micropolis https://pool.jortage.com/tootcat/media_attachments/files/112/158/062/263/263/287/original/4f481a467d51902b.png npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom @npub19zq…u4m5 @npub1n2s…hkx2 firefox sync is absolutely still a thing tho and "firefox focus" afaik is meant to be an alternative browser for iOS where until recently you weren't allowed to use engines other than webkit npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom @npub19zq…u4m5 when said user base is only 3% of all users, doing that will at best make sure those 3% stay the same from a statistical point of view, it's way more attractive to try and bring even a small percentage of the 97% onto your side instead. imagine if, say, firefox's next new feature brings in 1% of that 97% while alienating 10% of the existing user base. the end result would still be a (0.01 * 0.97 - 0.03 * 0.10) = 0.0067 or 0.67% increase. it'll be a risk worth taking. npub1ev3wjv7ur486rv3c2ag8a4n4ycgzf8tkxqejq5ufagwr0k338hrqlhtn8c /dev/urandom i remember the first laptop i owned was a huge-ass toshiba satellite one and it had two really cool features about it: it had a phone line socket in it. sadly, inside was a softmodem that was only "supported by Linux" in the most useless way possible (there is a proprietary driver, you have to manually compile it into the kernel, you have to pay for full 56k functionality and when i tried doing it, it failed because i'm pretty sure the driver was written for a way older version of the kernel) it had a PC card slot, which i didn't use for anything, but i still think it's pretty neat that it's a port where you can plug a whole another piece of hardware that will then function as if it's just part of your computer (which yeah, USB can also do that, but USB is more boring since it's just exchanging data and drivers do all the talking)
