Last Notes npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I have a project I've been working on for a while but it's not remotely ready to show off. Can I add my name anyway? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks now what about capacitor capacitance values? what's special about 4.7 multiplied by some power of ten? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks shiny element... i love it npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks alright, so what's your proposed alternative to democracy? "i'm the ruler and there's nothing you fuckwits can do about it" or "everybody gets to punch whoever they want for any reason (or no reason) forever"? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks ough this is making me feel things npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks but... but wgpu is right there... and can target opengl, vulkan, dx12, AND metal... npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks well... https://youtube.com/watch?v=52F2w3fVVOE npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks so lambda calculus basically npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks Either they took the CLA down or the website stopped working but the link you have there just takes me to a page saying "There is no CLA to sign" npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I don't know. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks ...haven't you written a vulkan backend? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks i have a homework assignment for you, type "php password-hash vulnerability" into your search engine of choice and tell me how many results you get back. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks you just think i should do it for free. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks make it secure, he says, as if that's the easiest thing in the goddamned world npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks and that's fair enough. no outfit is perfect. but when discord gets a data breach, it makes the news. everyone has to care and everyone changes their password because of it. (or they do if they're smart, which most people don't.) npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks so the funny thing about discord is that most people don't log into it using google npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks this is a good meme and all, but is terrible cybersecurity practice npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks i meant about china. jeez. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks listen i'm all for project 2025 being a thin front to put billionaires de facto in control of the united states and make americans think it was their idea but let's cool it with the conspiracy theories yeah? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks how are there so many npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks oh you're the bloodthirsty kind of Leftist™. fun! npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks do you have a plan to fight back against trump, or do you just think it's more important to do nothing wrong than to do something right npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks who do we shill instead? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks fine, it says "nobody likes you, shitlib" npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks https://axfedi.derg.rest/notes/abwc822ibhcxepuz npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks no, but it's stupid to respond to "look, i'm not going to vote for him in the primary, because he's anti-trans rights, but he's the best shot we have *in this present moment* of getting trump out of office, so unless anyone has any better ideas, we throw our weight behind him until then" with "kys shitlib" npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks okay but leftist purity contests ARE stupid npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks so we're hating on mastodon.social because a user who is from there is being an asshat while *checks notes* saying leftist purity contests are stupid npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks the post you're quoting was deleted what did it say npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I have tried GrapheneOS in the past and found it overly restrictive. One particular pain point was that KDE Connect's Find My Phone feature was prevented by the OS from doing anything other than sending a push notification, making it all but useless. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks Trump is starting world war 3 for shits and giggles, wheeeeeeeee npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks "This seems like a shortcut I'm actually okay with." npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I refuse to boost uspol stuff that doesn't have a uspol cw, and no one I've yet talked to has added one when I asked them, so recently I've taken to cutting out the middleman and doing a "fake quote boost" (Mastodon doesn't yet have an official equivalent of Twitter's quote retweets, so I fake it by just linking to the thing I want to quote boost) and adding the cw that way npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks via @npub17xf…dzht npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks Oh no! It's the thing Cory Doctorow has been warning us about for years! npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I'm not sure I agree. Trump absolutely is all of the things you describe, but he's also a highly successful con man. As you say, he ran a fraudulent university and charity that each fooled thousands of people. Doing that successfully requires a degree of intelligence it would be irresponsible to describe him without mentioning. He is not anywhere near as smart as people give him credit for -- DOGE is proof enough of that -- but he is not nearly as unintelligent as many liberals and leftists find it comforting to believe he is. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks @npub10v4…s27h npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks No they didn't. I learned 10x more about leftist topics from the internet than from school. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks Also -- keeping them out of our schools? Which part of "conservatives are the way they are because they are uneducated and thus were easily duped into hating everyone who wasn't them" was unclear to you? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks This is actually how fascism starts. npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks So to be clear you do think they should die? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I corrected myself. I said subjugate. I also don't think that people whose only crime is being white, uneducated, and scared of anything they don't understand are inherently inferior, and I cannot stress enough that treating them as such instead of showing compassion is currently actively making the problem of widespread bigotry worse and if it continues will almost certainly escalate to bloodshed npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks I agree that Nazis are bad but can we maybe be a little more restrictive with our definition of that term? Please? npub1wxkxh696pupkf0nh0uvpnfhfchaevz0m0ec7glcpdqwkmt3qfcjqunk909 Vincent Sparks look I hate conservatives too but this strikes me as a very dangerous line of thinking
