Too early in the morning over here, but I was reminded of this 64k demo I used to keep around on my PC and thought I would share. "Heaven Seven".

My laptop doesn't support USB keyboards in pre-boot when entering the password.
Since it's secret sauce it would be really hard to fix.

You've heard of "just fork it," now get ready for "just create a competing laptop manufacturer which doesn't exhibit that issue, then let the free market decide if USB keyboards should work, and then everyone can buy a new computer instead of fixing the one they have, because competition is much more efficient."

The takeaway from that talk is that modern hardware is much more involved than Linux makes it seem, and that Linux is not really an operating system on these systems.

you know what triggers me? Faux-buttons on the web that aren't implemented with a tag. Because I see a form with a default button, and I press [Space], and nothing happens. And even [Enter] doesn't do it of course, because it's a f***ng useless or something…

Have been practicing remembering songs in absolute pitch, rather than just the relative pitches of the notes. It's hard, and seems like a totally different skill, but it's working.

Professor Adhikari when they turn on his machine and get the perfect signal that same night: "[Whatever, I don't have time for this nonsense. You young whippersnappers need to understand that the world doesn't work like that.]"

A few weeks later after eliminating every other possibility he is finally warming up to the fact the signal is real and a Nobel Prize-worthy discovery was indeed made by amazing coincidence basically the moment they turned the machine on after 20 years of preparation.

I compare Suicide Squad to Night of the Living Dead. One was vilified for it's explicit gore, but went on to radically reshape a genre.

Suicide Squad is not that movie.

…I’m seeing people say “just don’t use an iPhone.” It’s not that simple when everyday things like financial apps with two-factor authentication are locked into the two main platforms.

We need legislation to ensure critical services use open standards so you can use your Pinephone to buy lunch in the future.

It’s shocking how easily some folks jump to “just go live in a cave.” No, that’s not an acceptable alternative. We deserve to partake in modern life without sacrificing our human rights…
