@domi well I can't even use them because alpine doesn't support them and even if they did the one for my card hasn't been updated in years

@domi Ohhhh, that's a very cool one :D

BTW: Your blender is crashing from time to time? I have even better, mine doesn't even launch at all and generates tons of nouveau errors in its output and in dmesg :P

my #39c3 art project is done! I took a VHS-C camcorder to the event and did my best to capture the vibe and art installations without violating the photopolicy.

It’s my first highly-edited video in over 5 years, so please excuse the roughness around some edges. Hope you enjoy it!

@domi What video editor did you use, BTW?

@ainmosni Sadly I've seen that already happen to many people I know :(

@ainmosni LLMs literally can mess up your brain so you feel like you can't do anything without them anymore, even basic tasks... and you also lose your critical thinking in the process.
Pretty destructive if I do say so myself.

Don't forget, LLMs are an attempt to rent-seek on things that are just basic cognitive abilities, providing you keep using those abilities.

Even ignoring all the other ethical problems with it (and you really shouldn't), do you really want to offload things like "writing", "reading", "drawing", etc, to the same kind of companies that have brought you great innovations like surveillance capitalism and the gig economy?

@WeAreFairphone That's unfortunate :(

ICE training session exposed.

live life to the fullest. write code that will make others go "well that shit (derogatory) couldn't have been written by an LLM".

@domi amazing! Great work

Long live FireWire

As a kid, I had a 486DX2-66 computer with a EGA monitor, and I was very frustrated that Windows 95 didn't support it.

I didn't know back then that I could just copy EGA.DRV from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, and it would work. Just don't let Windows detect the hardware, or it might think you have ATI VGA or something, and brick your OS.

Now I'm frustrated that Windows 95 doesn't support CGA drivers from Windows 3; for the reason that Windows 3.1 itself uses CGA, EGAMONO and EGAHIBW written for Windows 3.0.

Of course I tried recompiling the driver with new windows.inc and resources mandatory for Windows 3.1; it didn't help. I suspect this might be related to new GDI features e.g. RC_BIGFONT or RC_PALETTE...

okay, after not getting an answer for an hour on that, I'm officially worried. does anyone have an ACTIVE way to contact wolfman2000/"dance dad" (who used to be on GDQ streams) other than their discord? I strongly suspect their account has been stolen

EDIT: confirmed that it's stolen and confirmed that they're aware

Thank you @elly for hooking me up with a new coreboot build for an old thinkpad x220!!

She even created this amazing boot splash for me 🤣
