confused, as an Australian, to say that the New York Times thinks I’m from New York

@iliana@witches.town it looks like this one is in its “final comment period” so it’ll probably land soon unless someone objects (it’s already been approved by the people who need to say it’s okay, though; I think this is just a grace period for people to test it out)

@iliana@witches.town oh god I just discovered it’s because it’s how C did it; surely Rust is an exercise in “how C did it was maybe bad” :P

@maffsie@queer.party hi Very Tired im jess

how do some of y’all on awoo dot space have like, extra “fields” in your profiles?

@iliana@witches.town “times should only be usable in either seconds or nanoseconds” seems kind of bad to me though, no matter how simple the conversion

this of course leads to spectacular chicanery like https://awoo.space/media/FoQAfuJEXBgJlFamQgk

I love how in Rust, milliseconds are considered a bleeding-edge, experimental feature. Everything is either seconds or nanoseconds. https://awoo.space/media/fgl53ZFHHNof3kQThRU

@katelyn yeah, like an alpha

I will heretofore refer to the Xbox Controller S as “[very Jeremy Clarkson voice] the Duke’s Japanese cousin”

you, foolish: is a hot dog a sandwich

me, wise: is the Xbox a Sega console

you, foolish: the N64 controller was bad because it thought people had three hands

me, wise: the N64 controller was bad because the analog stick would crumble to dust, but offering a comfortable handgrip for both d-pad and analog stick was unprecedented at the time and very good

someone shared their seitan doner recipe on twitter and now I’m incredibly hungry

How do I specify character variations in my legal name? Can I be Jessica but mandate a single-storey “a?”

city pop is lesbian culture

what if I installed rust the computer language and made it so discord recognised “rustc” as the rust video computer game

delightfully devilish

ah so ~technically~ the underlying C struct which represents the SDL game controller has a platform-dependent metadata blob (struct) indicating specific capabilities and info such as which XInput player number it correlates to, among others

I have no access to either object
