@parisba yeah. I was working on a game when Elon bought Twitter, and I had to leave.
Guess what happened to the game? It's canceled now, because part of what made it a viable idea was the Twitter audience who would buy it!

@qkslvrwolf no but I did manage to hypnotize my GF into telling me how to make a pipe bomb

@JonnyT @blogdiva exactly. They're going "someday someone might make a Torment Nexus. Here's my ideas about what terrible shit would happen if someone made it".

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

And they were right. A Torment Nexus did get built, it just got named after the one in their book because of the obvious precedent.

Had they not written the book, the Torment Nexus would still exist, it just would have been called the TechCo.io TortureHub instead.

BRB training an image generation model on all the Doom textures

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

Realistically I should be training it on, like, all 90s FPSes, as otherwise the generators model is going to be WAY bigger than the textures themselves would be.

Plus it'd be funny to see Half Life texture influences showing up in Wolf3D

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@wbftw not really.

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

@thorsummoner we just ship the model with the ps6 and then every game can use it!

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

That's just phase one.
Phase two we protect your identity by taking those descriptions and feeding them into an image-generation AI. So you can't be identified from your selfies with your cat, as you're not technically in them

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

@cJ oh they are absolutely doing that and have been for years. It's free training data

@cstross I've already been joking about AI-jamming techniques being useful when talking to robotgirls, and from my experience with Tumblr, there's a bigger overlap between "girl who is a cat" and "girl who is a robot" than you'd think

@cyborgurl ahh, yes!

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

Like, slab computers like the c64 don't count. I'm defining "keyboards" something like "devices intended as input devices for other bigger computers, which have over 26 buttons"

It's probably one of these modern mechanical ones which are using arm cortex m0 chips instead of the usual atmels.

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

Anyway I was wondering because I was thinking about putting a whole raspi (not a pico) into a keyboard

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

A pi zero might work well. Plenty of pins, and it has usb gadget mode

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@dryak oh yeah, that thing! I keep meaning to get/make one, and then forgetting

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@Matt I mean, that's probably not THAT uncommon these days. So many keyboards were designed around Teensy 2.0++ or Teensy LC boards, and now that you can't get them, Teensy 4.x is the closest replacemetn

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@curtmack ooh, that'd be fun

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@Matt who among us doesn't want a keyboard that can type over TCP/IP?

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@kerrybenton nice! Have you written up anything about that project?

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@BingsPingsDings natively.

foone OP , vor 5 Tagen

@dzwiedziu I mean that too. But it's mainly because STALIN BULB

@eniko congrats!

@kiwa I love you

@whitequark is it really a tumblr screenshot if there isn't some username that shocks people?

@ClarusPlusPlus I know the feeling

@munin maybe we should invert the age requirement. Only people under 35 can be president

@g @munin Sortition!

@xssfox god I wish. I've barely gotten paid at all this month!

@BBQDeveloper that can be fixed!

@munin I once worked on a system that had such a large monorepo that if it failed and you had to restart, you risked getting throttled by github because it thought you were trying to DDoS them

@NanoRaptor Sometimes I'm not sure what decade I live in.

specifically, I can't figure out if it's the 80s or the 90s.
Right now I've got a laptop, but I'm scanning microfiche, so... I'm leaning early 90s?

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

I've got a mysterious U-matic carrying case containing a 3M UCA 60 Videocassette Color Plus.
All that's on the label is "5-01-86 DS".

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@mediaarchaeologylab yeah that makes sense

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@NanoRaptor I try to! Even if it's in the past.

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@gothpanda that's a problem with the modern world: so much stuff is dependent on internet that often when it's down you can't do anything to pass the time. I hope you have it on DVD or a local server or something, because the versions on amazon or netflix won't help!

foone OP , vor 6 Tagen

@preinheimer man the 60s were a different time. You could get a grant from the CDC to develop a laser to kill mice

@fwaggle @cadey yeah I think in this case he put it in a box and mailed it to the judge with a trigger set to detonate when it was opened.

so the motive was pretty easy to guess
