Street Fighter was cheesy and awesome.

Perfect 1993 references and music.

And why was it sooooooo gay?! I'm not complaining though.

@mos_8502 I'm calling my 2nd attempt dead. I did things in the wrong order. I got too focused on the GUI too early, before the core system was far enough along to support what I was trying to do.

So here starts attempt 3, with a lot more specs handwritten in advance. GUI coming much, much later.

how many times in my life can I lose my two Canon battery chargers

of course they're different chargers, because the EOS M200 can't possibly use the same battery type as a EOS 6D

Any form of "community" I have on the web is quickly being destroyed by a constant onslaught of debate, discussion and vitriol about AI and LLM usage.

I get it.

But I'm out. I can't / won't do it anymore.

Everything is fucked, everything is on fire, and I just can't watch the rage machines anymore.

I have to value my sanity.

So.

You're not going to see me participating in any public discussions related to that subject going forward. I'm just done.

😫

My ArcaOS machine got an upgrade, a 1080p wide-screen display.

And with Dooble, I can load OS/2 World as long as I don't resize the window.

okay when REM released Monster, I hated it

it jut felt out of place after Out of Time and Automatic for the People

but now? now I love it.

I'm 20 minutes into Coyote vs. Acme and I'm laughing a lot

I can't believe they tried to shelf this

just from the first track this has a "The Seduction of Claude Debussy" vibe (Art of Noise album)

omg The Pet Shop Boys tribute album to Alan Turing is out!

I generally think Alan Ritchson is pretty perfect as a human

and now I'm watching "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" and his character here is :chefs kiss:

@mos_8502 moved everything to build on clang now

and working on a POSIX layer so I can run clang on Aegir

cross your fingers

@mos_8502 onto networking now, I had put that off this time...

vendored lwIP, starting with virtio-net as the first networking driver

ugh trying to work on images for my GUI toolkit

I seriously lack the vocabulary to explain this stuff

bevels, inset, recessed, etc

I just can't put this vocabulary into context with what I'm trying to describe and do

ugh give me numbers and math instead I'm better with those

Anyone else read sqrt in code and think "squirt"?

ugh a couple of weeks ago I made an internal tool I've been wanting for almost 3 years because it never got prioritized

immediately it was criticized for not be sufficient.

so I addressed those perceived gaps this week. Released the updated version.

Now it's being nitpicked apart.

*it's an internal tool*

nothing like telling me "don't bother taking initiative to fix broken things"

fucking stock buybacks need to be illegal

Basic Amiga DOS commands implemented, now on to shell scripting and Startup-Sequence and Shell-Startup processing

IDGAF that Taylor Swift has a new album

but let's check out this new M83 album....

I did not have "my younger brother gets colon cancer" on my 2026 bingo card but here we are.

It was caught at an early stage so that's good but still.

#FuckCancer

@mos_8502 Haiku FS is in, finishing up C++ stdlib, Unicode and BiDi and locales now

might switch fully to clang next so I can get a "native" clang compiler in the OS
