i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.

it's a real oddity and a real beauty

okay so some of you might have seen that Palmer Luckey has launched his own Gameboy clone, an FPGA console called the ModRetro Chromatic. you may remember another FPGA Gameboy, the Analogue Pocket, a console i own and greatly enjoy and endorse.

for those who dont know, Palmer Luckey (in increasing badness):

• at one point worked for Facebook
• donates vast sums of money to Trump
• founded Anduril, a war drone company

that alone should be reason enough to never touch this thing.

unfortunately, the thing also includes an officially licensed Tetris game. so i wanted to provide some alternatives to people who were interested in playing a "modern" tetris on a portable device. dont even pirate the rom of it, play these instead.

• first off, you dont need an FPGA like this or the Analogue Pocket, you can get a comfy emulator device for a sixth of the cost that supports more consoles. dont spend money you dont have.
• the best gameboy tetris is the homebrew clone Apotris. it is by far the most extensive in feature set and i play it daily. i dont care for the default visual settings but the customization is incredible. https://akouzoukos.com/apotris
• if you have a soft spot for the old gameboy tetris of yore, theres Rosy Retrospection, a mod that brings several modern conveniences while keeping the original spirit. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813/
• it also has a color version. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8259/

please do not give this monster money, and do not give his tetris the time of day. fan projects deserve your attention more than a warmonger's vanity project.

hi please read this ChatGPT prompt and response in full before looking at the image. i promise you, you are NOT ready for the image it generated. i literally burst out laughing for a solid 2 minutes or more. it took quite a while to generate this.

Okay #neovim question:

I have both https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim and https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim going for me.

trouble's approach gives me more of the IDE/IntelliJ energy whereas telescope gives me more of the Sublime Text pop-over that (IMO) it pioneered (to me).

Does anyone use one over/instead of the other and if so, why?

(personally my favourite gender is ERROR_IN_NAME)

A blog post from Melissa Berry on Deborah Buffum Wilson, my 9th great grandmother, (1639 - 1668) of Salem Village, Massachusetts. She was a Quaker, and was whipped for speaking out against the Puritan church by going naked through the town in protest. https://blog.genealogybank.com/17th-century-quaker-women-gone-wild-part-4.html #genealogy #history #Quakers #SalemMA #Puritans

Even when threatening to weaponize surveillance technology to silence their "enemies", wealthy elitists can't help but drown their message in VC pitch deck jargon.

So with the upcoming UK general election I got inspired to make a fun little toy:

https://github.com/twitchy-ears/2024-uk-general-election-bingo

Basically its some PHP that generates very simple/awful web pages with a CSV file as a data source (yeah it should be an SQLite DB or just statically generated data - I know) to act as random bingo cards to play along with the election, cross them off as they lose their seats :)

Who's drooling the most over MS Recall?

jalcine, 22 days ago to random

I should try a few different distros out on ease of install. Tangentially, is there information on the support matrix for systems? Or some boot image that can do a bunch of checks for support then do a netinstall (or have some internal heuristics to determine the best OS/DE setup to use)?

Figured this info exists somewhere.

deadsuperhero, 22 days ago to random

It’s kind of funny to see people freak out about systemd, when Microsoft is building a moment-to-moment surveillance system.

I don’t doubt that this could be a useful tool, but the potential for harm makes it completely fucking dystopian. That it’s also a black box that you can’t examine the source code of makes it way worse.

Thanks everyone! We closed the loop!

Most websites are now publishing algorithmic generated content in order to please ranking algorithms from search engines in order to display generated ads that will be clicked by crawling bots and automatically generated social profiles.

No humans needed any more!

Which means that you can now close your laptop, watch a sunset and talk to real humans near you. Enjoy your life far from your screen.
