Am I gonna recognize you right away by your name? If you're a demoscener, likely, or you're from one of my past lives.

If not, You _gots_ to give me a reason why you wanna follow.

I still enjoy watching the brothers (or... you know, just one of the brothers, which is which I don't recall (: ) on "the voice" and then go check out what they're up to lately...
which is "still being Good Charlotte"

Little Things is still the jam

Here ya go, now you can take that and change it into loads of different Finno-Urgic languages!

(Actually, it's not bad at translating from Finnish to German, for my limited German (: )

Don't ask, I found that the other day with one of those non-traditional search engines that looks for interesting things (and I don't recall which one, I just recall it was interesting) and then forgot to bookmark it, so now I have. Because that's how today is going. It's hot and I'm sort of reorganizing my living area. But it's hot. So breaks are things that happen. a lot. Combined with procrastination... you get... random replies.

Anyone want some old computers?

I bought a batch of old Compaq Presarios awhile ago. I was going to repair what I could and strip parts out of what I couldn't, but I just don't have the time. I'd like to see these go to a retrocomputing enthusiast who can do something cool with them!

Three laptops work:
1625 - boots, has a weird screen flicker
1210 - boots, red splotches on LCD
1220 - boots, keyboard has some dead keys

In pieces:
1610 and another unknown model (series CM2060).

I have batteries for all of them (bad, naturally) and one charger. The plastics are *really* bad on these, so be warned repairs will be challenging.

Free to the first person who claims them, but I do ask you cover shipping (about $40-50). I can take venmo or zelle. Please reply to this post so other folks can see if they've been claimed!

The issue with this is it creates a false impression that things won't work, so you can't do them, when you could - and you'd get results.

Like having protracker limited to 512m samples, because most machines don't have extra.

When they do.

Yes, check, and if it doesn't, don't try to do it. But if it does, use it.

And yes, I know this is also sort of "people who can afford nice things get better" when taken further, and I _hate_ that. But I also dislike holding people back because others in their group can't keep up. It just hurts the people who could excel for no real reason.

And don't give me "but you could just hardware" - no, no I could not. I grew up poor, and if I damage something and it doesn't work, I can't have another - so I _will_ not do hardware modifications. "You could just pay" - again, poor.

software hacks+++, because they're awesome and enable cool shit.

@rick @onegeekarmy

This here, i3 on a work machine that I can't put wayland on for reasons.

I do reccomend, when folks have time and want to expiriment with the system they're already using (i.e. they know what programs they use and are looking for how to be efficient in handling them when multitasking) testing out a tiled window manager. But know what you use first, and how you use it. Otherwise it's just "why would I ever" (:

@jope @didier @skylark13

Yes, and that's why I think, _IF_ I knew/used it, I was told "no stop that, it's wrong" (:

It just seems like something I would have dismissed because of things like "how2code" from comerade j, which others would say ignore, and ... I was obsessed with having it "correct" and not "just expiriment and have fun"

@didier @skylark13

See mop's explanation below (and, well, why it'll be fully supported in coppershader showdown thingie whatever it is called...)

my brain is very recover from black valley and it's very hot so (:

#ALERTA #CallToAction It is verified that tomorrow 7/9/205 ICE plans to carry out mass arrests at Seattle's immigration courthouse!

Bring your signs, your grandma, your black bloc, bring everybody you know to tell ICE to get the fuck out of Seattle 8am to 4pm TOMORROW!

Since the demos on June 10th ICE has been unable to arrest anyone at the court house but tomorrow will test Seattle's resolve.

915 2nd Ave,
Seattle
