DID YOU KNOW: Every time Microsoft calls a function DoSomethingEx, it's because it was girlfriends with, and broke up with, the DoSomething function.

@whitequark it knows what it did!
(in reality, it's just a weird function because it's called stretchblt but every use of it I've seen has involved no stretching. It's just used because it can convert formats on the fly, which bitblt can't)

@foone @whitequark I use it for stretching in ,y maug engine... If the window size changes, the screen size stays 320x200, after all! 😌

despite having never shot a gun i will get very annoyed at imprecise use of gun-related terminology on the internet, because i find these engineered mechanisms fascinating and an interesting object of study

engineered objects consist of parts each of which serve a purpose! they're not just things with an aestheti[gets shot]

@whitequark @4censord I had a BB gun as a kid that was a lot of fun to disassemble and reassemble.

by the way if you implement a buttplug.io integration for the Glasgow Interface Explorer i don't mind having it upstream

foone ,

@whitequark I'm not sure how the integration would work but I have at least one sex toy it'd make sense to try glasgowing. I'll have to see how it goes

@foone probably just pwm to whatever protocol it is

maybe multichannel

tuna flavor, basically

@munin @whitequark yeah I personally cannot eat tuna, because it tastes too much like cat food

@maxbarnash @whitequark I've said before, everyone who gets a thermal camera eventually uses it to take pictures of cats.

It's certainly what I did with mine.

do you think this is an appropriate amount of spite to put into a reverse engineering project?

Reverse engineering is a primarily spite-powered discipline

i did not realize how fragile "sd card plugged into raspberry pi" is. my headmate's 3d printer server just... had an sd card die. it sort of reads except sometimes it spends half a minute reading a single sector

wtf

@foone Isn't that linux tho, treating a SD card like a hard drive?

@edward @whitequark I didn't know that existed and it's very funny that it does.

It's an emmc with a microsd connector!

That's just microsd with extra steps!

@whitequark @timotimo I had a friend who did this back in the late 2000s.
It archived every HTTP request he did. It was pretty neat, but sadly I don't think he ever released it.

It also meant if I figured out the right search terms on his anime girls site, I'd get pictures downloaded from his banking site

foone ,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

@whitequark yeah. This is a perfectly fine assistive technology that would help a lot of people (like me), it's just that it should be something you can audit and you decide to turn on, after knowing the risks.

@foone @whitequark It is interesting, though I wonder why not just use an embedded Scheme.

@lispi314 @whitequark it's apparently "inspired by scheme", but yeah, it's its own thing

@joeyh @whitequark Every time I’m reminded of \?\ I need to look it up to see what other path oddities I’ve forgotten.

Today it’s “COM¹, COM², COM³, and LPT¹, LPT², LPT³ are reserved names because the code considers ¹ ² ³ (but not the other superscript digits) to be digits”.
