when my robovac hasn't run its room detection algorithm (which considers any small enough gap a door) it will just divy up everything into rectangles and vacuum those, it's kinda funny
Mastodon should copy the "mutuals" timeline from bsky, it's a cool feature
can't wait for them to bog it down with tracking and ads because y'know, venture capital
it's kinda wild how fast bluesky's webapp is like a react app doesn't have to feel slow as shit?
ofc it's sold out everywhere unless you wanna pay scalper prices… I just wanted a cool-looking controller
yay, I preordered the limited edition dualsense and they mislabeled the package so it's getting sent back
like how long has this been on the "PAL" article, it makes no sense, makes unsourced (false) claims and doesn't fit in the flow of the article
wikipedia needs git blame
FFXIV mobile game was not on my bingo card and I have very low hopes for this one
it's still an interesting project bc why would you even consider rebuilding an MMO for mobile
signing up to threads just so I can have a different color logo on my website
when I have to take out the cohost logo it'll look so blue :/ I might have to host my cohost archive just to avoid that

Now you may be reading this and thinking— yes, they're artifacts, but are they really bizarre? Why is she making such a big deal? Are these really any stranger than any other old video game cartridge?
Yes! Because each of these carts is a tiny *computer*! That's how the Cassette Vision worked! The "console" is basically just a bridge from the cart to the TV (and the controls). There's a whole ass CPU inside each of these carts and *that's* what the game runs on!

They came!!! I thought they wouldn't arrive until I'd left the country but my Cassette Vision games came! (This happened yesterday but instead of posting about it I decided to sleep.) I'll get a chance to test the unit before I leave!
Look at these bizarre artifacts! Look at these fakeass looking screenshots (they're real). Look how many of the cartridge pins aren't even hooked up (I assume these are the paddles, not used in this game). The world is so full of strange and beautiful things
this is mostly to keep up with ppl tbh, I don't expect to be posting there much. I'll probably add the rss feed to https://shork.xyz/posts too
I folded and made a bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/shork.xyz

Imagine wondering “When’s the next time that Christmas will be a Tuesday/Wednesday, for those sweet optimal public holidays (Jan 1st being exactly a week later)?”
Now imagine asking, idk, google or Siri or god forbid an actual calendar, instead of turning to the best tool for the job: systemd.
