happy new USCSB video day to those who celebrate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3BFXpBcjc

me: this is so cool
me: wait why the f did they dub it over in english while the russian is still in the background
friend: it's russian

a thing i need you to understand is that, despite everything, it is still the case that uk law prohibits discrimination against trans people unless it's a “proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”. for all the chatter about “single-sex spaces”, they are usually illegal

uhh so my fediverse instance just went offline, effectively, for a bit more than two hours, because it ran out of disk space because the media cache wasn't pruned enough (not sure if it's a misconfiguration on my part or a gts bug) lmao. but now we are Back baby. please tell me what i missed ^^;;;

there is never enough laugengebäck 🥨

opengl graphics folks… have you ever needed to read the state tables section in the specs, and struggled against the vertical, rotated, heavily abbreviated pdf? perhaps you wished it were machine readable?

well, do i have a gift for you!

hi there.

on 2016-11-07 i was inspired to create this pair of diagrams, and posted them to my then twitter account. the tweet is long gone, but they must have struck a chord with some people, because the diagrams have long outlived it! i guess they're as relevant today as they were then.

so let me repost them here, in never-before-published high resolution.

and ideally, please link to this post's canonical url (begins with social.noyu.me), but i don't care that much

i changed the nginx configuration of my gotosocial instance again, maybe my posts will be delivered more reliably now 🤞

megacorp-scale software projects are so unsustainable. if your project's source code is larger than a gigabyte or takes more than a few minutes to compile… god, i'd rather sacrifice a months of my time writing a smaller alternative than have to suffer through building it

after the success of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Crimean_Bridge_explosion and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Crimean_Bridge_explosion, I'm sure the Ukrainian intelligence services are looking forward to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Crimean_Bridge_explosion and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Crimean_Bridge_explosion
