“detained 133 protesters on charges of petty hooliganism and disobedience”… hooliganism & disobedience? if your legal code has such ‘crimes’ then you know you live in an authoritarian land.

This post was triggered by hearing his first band's "All you need is love" in the radio this morning.

• Popuko was arrested for OpenGL crimes. Pipimi is visiting Popuko in Prison. Popuko's head pops from the bottom of the window, except the window is flipped vertically and there's a black triangle in the middle of the square window. This joke references the (usual) absence of Quads in sane OpenGL versions, and illustrates how a quick and dirty renderer port from DX9 to OpenGL will usually see this kind of issue show up.
