you haven't seen trailer park boys until you've seen it in the original chiac
since people are talking about it, here's PocketToot, a Mastodon API client (tested with 2.3.3, Pleroma untested but likely compatible) for Windows Mobile 5 in the Pocket PC form factor. (2003/Smartphone unsupported; see README)
ok people who use XMPP; XMPP server has been fixed (and it kept me up a while trying to help fix it)
go bug calvin@snacki.ca - prosody on an ARM powered server! (the server will prob go down briefly a few times as it acquires more XEP)
Interested in lobste.rs? I'm willing to give out invites if you reply with your blog, VCS repos, cool projects you've made, thoughts relevant to the site's scope, etc.
oh no, it turns out that having friends is bad for your sleep schedule
it's easy to forget how awful things are when you're immersed in them; and a close friend who's an outsider to it reminds you of the reality of the situation
this has currently happened to "playing games on computers"

just witnessed a 22-year-old not knowing how to close an envelope. they didn't believe the person that told them to lick it. to be fair, it *does* sound ridiculous.

@saper $SHELL
tl;dr: libtool wants to be invoked with bash.... autotools is invoking it with /bin/sh because that's what it thinks $SHELL should be, and propagates it through from makefiles generated to a patched libtool in the artifact dir
..../bin/sh on this system is original bourne, so libtool goes through an obscenely long preflight function sanity check EVERY INVOCATION
and it won't let me change it with env vars, and I don't know where it got this idea
...and I can't try my theorized fix because autotools/configure REFUSES to listen to the env var I pass it
my opinion of GNU is in the basement and can only get lower
hahahaha, I think I found out my build system slowness
it wasn't iops, but libtool stupidity

COMPLEMENTARY GAME HOT TAKES TO LAST BOOST:
* id never made a good game after Doom 2
* once Unreal and other engines came on board, Carmack as some singular programming übermensch is overrated (he's certainly great though)
* id tech is overrated; id tech 5 turned everything it touched into a technical dumpster fire (at least they used to liberate the sources though)
