a little while ago, a project by the name of “polyMC” which is an open source minecraft launcher, got coup’d by the one transphobic dev and he managed to totally sieze power over the discord server and the github repository, and kick all the other devs off. the other devs all had to fork polyMC and rebase their efforts on whats now “prism launcher” which is of course very rainbow themed and whats generally recommended by minecraft players

4 years? has it really been? fuck… been here since the old CTH lifeboat discord server, so much has changed… so many inside jokes… so many struggle sessions… so many libs…

heres to 4 more years everyone

only if it has one of the chipsets which will allow full DMA over the isa slot, aka the intel 8xx series

the intel 865/875 is the best one as it supports a faster FSB over the older 845 and 815 chipsets

they’re kinda rare tho and if it does have one, the 845 with the slower FSB is way more common then the others

athlon XPs dont support DMA over their ISA bus. the p4 can with specific chipsets

yes, even the awful netbursts have their use. and no, that use is not “spaceheater” even if they do that as a secondary function

another issue with the static linking is the larger binary sizes it causes, meaning more of my precious disk space is wasted!!! another big issue on extremely resource limited systems such as 90s equipment with hard drives measured in hundreds of megabytes. i have gentoo running on a OG pentium (coz its one of the few distros left that truely supports it, via their i486 branch) and i have a dedicated hard drive for all the package management files and other caches portage uses lmao

a 80386, multiple 80486’s, a pentium-133, a pentium2, and two non-sse2 pentium4s. and they all have useful purposes for various things. things you cant do with an emulator

old

stinky

now look here buddy

modern tech delenda est

rust takes AGES to compile literally anything. also the compiler on i686 requiring SSE2 instructions is a massive thorn in my side as a old computer user and is the primary driver of my hatred of rust lmao. it gets in my way quite a lot since rust has creeped its way into a lot of open source projects these days

love it

awesome, thanks

i just started work rn so ill try this when i get home this evening unless @PaX@hexbear.net gets to it first

i still exist too, gosh

also i tried adding this image as a banner and i think its too tall or somthing it kinda just zooms in on the bear’s nose or im just stupid idk

incredible

shes so me fr

androgen blockers are to block testosterone production, or testosterone’s bodily absorption

when you take hormones orally by swallowing, most of it gets filtered out by your liver. this is why oral estrogen sits under your tongue for 20 minutes so it can absorb into your blood directly

injections are always the superior method anyway but not everyone can get them sadly

add me to the list please. been following this project for a while and glad to see progress is still being made, congrats on a functional release candidate

please dont synthesize stuff you’re going to inject into your body in your bathtub. use sanitary chemistry glassware please

just get a flip-phone with SMS capabilities idk, this light thingey feels like a grift

closest i can get you is this theme and collection of scripts for the XFCE desktop https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

ive used it in the past for my own nostalgia purposes and it does re-create the effect pretty damn good, though it does get funny sometimes when you throw in non-GTK apps (or if they have the extra thick title bar, GNOME style, (god i hate GNOME))

another option in a similar vein is nsCDE https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE which attempts to re-create the CDE desktop look-and-feel from 90s and early 2000s UNIX workstations

ive used this one too and the paradigm shift in how to use a desktop can definitely be felt if you’ve only ever used windows-style environments. it takes some getting used to but the aesthetics are very nice
