@foone That's actually quite cunning in a "I hope you like enjoy getting stopped by the police" kind of way

@foone I have to wonder if using punycode make more sense...

I used ACDSee back in the day, but that was decades ago.

@foone iirc pygame (the python library) allows opening/creating a full screen window in just a few lines of code

still requires writing a program technically, but at least it's prolly easier than some other options that do

@foone You would get a warning any time you used the back, forward or reload button though.

Not gloating though, I once made a shitpost website with actual stripe integration without properly knowing how postbacks worked, or enough math to make an "add payment fees to total" checkbox work.

Having spent far too much of my life overthinking this, I will now share:

1. Lua hadn't really made it to North America by 1995; the go-to extension language at the time was Tcl or a Lisp dialect. (Perl was an option but not really suited to embedding, and Python was this new thing nobody used.)

2. Java was THE HYPE in 1994; JS has its syntax because management wanted that similarity.

So the obvious design for JS is OOP Lisp with C syntax. And that's what we got, only bad.

@foone How do they know you have it? I have that cape as well, but have never gotten any spam about that.

@foone Yeah I had a similar thing with TF2. My account has the Apple earbuds because I played TF2 on macOS. I've had people want to trade for it in the game in the past. So the Apple earpods are "rare", I'm keeping them!

@foone I have Arch installed on my main pc. I did it manually. It sucked lmao, but I actually really like it now that it's set up. If I were to have to do it again I'd probably use Endeavour OS, which is just Arch with a graphical installer like how every other distro has. But for my server pc, I use Debian so I don't have to touch it very often. On my grandma and aunt's desktop I have installed Vanilla OS, so that way it physically can't be broken (it's an immutable Debian distro)

@foone Maybe not; merchants using scales figured out early that a set of binary weights (base weight then each is double the previous) could be combined to any value up to 2x-1 where x was the largest weight. Now if some genius had figured out a way to combine this with an abacus...

@foone My brain loves to do that to me all the time.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that it'll map a "smell" to things that do not have one, but it'll map it to things like "a blend of exhaustion, CRT monitor with a distorted line slowly scrolling up and concrete floor", which is apparently now a scent.

It's a bit like BSODs have a taste for me, as in, it's mapped to "taste" for some reason, but it's not a valid flavor. It'll make whatever i'm drinking taste off for a moment tho!

you could fix some small things with sticky paper tape closing holes. but cardboard was too cheap to care.
