It changes once a year, how stupid are some people that this is an issue?

There’s been about a billion SFF PCs show up in my google news feed over the last 2-3 weeks, so I don’t think it’ll be a particularly huge loss.

The first game I played was Space Invaders in my dad’s local pub, he took me specifically to see and experience it.

The first to play at home was a variant of the grandstand 5000.

Then I played an atari 2600 at a cousin’s house, and I fell in love with centipede.

Bezos has a plan to do the same, but I think his calls for 100,000. Those two will be the destruction of this planet with their stupid one-upmanship.

beehaw isn’t down, just very slow, which is it’s normal state of being if we’re being honest

Ah, ‘dracula’ appears to be a very similar looking theme (although less orange) from about 6 months (oct vs mar 2013) after the creation of the original ‘darcula’ theme that IntelliJ adopted and every other editor has copied since.

When did ‘darcula’ in the context of the theme become ‘dracula’ ? The punnyness of ‘darcula’ always entertained me, but the rename is just sad.

identi.ca now thats a url i haven’t heard in a long time

At least it’s a tail call

Notice how almost all social media sites are now offering, or considering offering, paid ‘blue checkmark’ options? Yeah, seems that us plebians didn’t factor into the ‘OMG, that’s awesome’ reaction from the CEOs.

I absolutely hate that we get Midges, Gnats and Mosquitos in the UK these days, it was mostly judge Midges when I was a kid, although you’d see a rare Gnat and Mosquitos were unheard of.

Probably not, most power supplies go straight to a bridge rectifier - you can supply a bridge rectifier with DC and it will output DC just the same. But it’s possible to design a power supply that does it differently, in which case the designer - presumably also the user - would likely know what it needed.

If it internally runs on 5v stepped down, for example, you could just feed it from a handful of proto-potatoes and bypass the whole 110v AC section

Oh god, we’re overthinking a ‘shitty’ larson-esque comic now

You get about 0.25v from a potato battery, so 400 or so potatoes and you’d be home, maybe.

America doesn’t ‘give away’ weapons, Ukraine will pay for them eventually, just like Israel, SK, Taiwan, and the rest always do.

I use Silicon Notes; While it has ‘Notes’ in the title, it’s just a lightweight markdown based wiki

Then pixelfed and complete the holy trinity :D
