Having a blast rediscovering old animated classics - La Linea, Roadrunner, Pink Panther, Tom & Jerry - and saving it on my home server.
Do any of you 1) have similar recommendations, and 2) know where I can find discussions and content about this on the fediverse?

Also blogged about how the last few months have just flown by 😅
Today, I reworked the realloc() implementation of the WASM backend of my toy CPS programming language.. and got things very close to a first actual program compiled to WASM. ✨
Lack of a type system hurts a lot though. Even a C-like type system that lets one differentiate single and double pointers would be an improvement! 😅

Inspired by this post (https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116268399785747534) I made an animated, alphabetised, deeply cursed clock.
It's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.
I had the idea of making a Truchet tiling holder that lets me rotate each piece by 90°. There's a little pin in the tray and a slot under each piece that allows each insert to rotate and line up in one of two orientations.
I used Random.org to choose the tile orientations for this tiling:
11010111
11001111
00111100
11111111
11100110
01101111
00000101
00101011
Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:
* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this
