I finally have calendar compiling against GTK4. It’s broken as hell, but it builds! So we’re close.

../zxbc.py -f tap -a --BASIC jingle.bas and that's it.modprobe snd_seq, done. now i can iterate much faster, by compiling my program and loading it into the emulator with a single command. neat!./configure && make && doas make install. alas, tape2wav won't build without a warning, if your system's libaudiofile is broken. Alpine's package seem to be exactly this, so I had to check out the original source code, figure out the exact way to build the thing, since READMEs were updated almost never it seems, and, finally I've built everything and had my tape2wav working.apk add gtk+2.0-dev and having some pleasant nostalgic flashbacks, fuse compiled successfully, and — finally — i got my wav played and loaded.pcm_s16 → pcm_s8 before converting the file to FLAC makes the file almost three times smaller, and 10x smaller when compared to the original wav. and by the way, FLAC is supported by all major web browsers, even the worst browser ever, i.e. iOS Safari would play it just fine, or so I'm told by the can-i-use portal.

Here's something we need to understand about the economics of AI and why now is the best time to protect ourselves.
Gen AI is an expensive way to create text and images. Right now, much of that cost is being subsidized and hidden, but it will eventually need to be paid. Because charging the actual cost will likely negate most of the value proposition of genAI, the companies that run the big models are focused on altering the social and economic context so that there are big external costs to opting out. E.g. getting companies to fire staff makes it difficult to pivot back away from AI because hiring and training replacement staff can be difficult and costly. Hence, the huge rush and hysterical sense of urgency around adoption: the demand for profitability is an approaching tidal wave, and they need to lock entire industries in before that wave hits.
That's why resistance IN THE PRESENT counts for a great deal. Right now, we have the approaching wave in our favor, and they're counting on cultivating enough dependence before it hits that we'll have no choice to accept the actual costs. The closer they get to locking society into dependence on hyperscale AI systems, the more difficult it becomes to opt out of even the plainly dystopian uses of the technology. And the longer we "wait and see," the less say we may ultimately have in how this technology shapes our society.

I've gone down a deep rabbit hole working on a strange new project: a standalone After Dark module player for modern macOS. No OS emulation or ROM required -- just the original classic Mac OS AD module files! I can't believe this is working!

Having a *tremendously* difficult day, chums. My instinct is to clam up and go all internal and self-destructive, but that is a very stupid idea and so I am telling you instead. I'M HAVING A REALLY HORRIBLE TIME AT THE MOMENT AND TODAY IS PARTICULARLY BAD. If you are moved to, I wondered if you had any good news or funny memes or pics you might like to offload onto an Internet needy. LOVE YOU. ❤️

10 years of #rustlang at #FOSDEM — and what a journey! 🦀
From a small discussion space to a packed 500+ seat devroom, the community keeps growing. Read this guest recap from organizers Ewan Higgs & 
@lucabLuca Bruno on our blog where they reflect on a decade of Rust at FOSDEM — and what’s changed along the way.

A deep dive into Apple’s .car file format
Every modern iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS application uses Asset Catalogs to manage images, colors, icons, and other resources. When you build an app with Xcode, your .xcassets folders are compiled into binary .car files that ship with your application. Despite being a fundamental part of every Apple app, there is little to none official documentation ab

Oh no, Carmen San Diego has stolen your fucks!
im working on a decentralized software issues/pull requests thing that lives directly in git and works with all existing git hosts. it will work by running a command in your repo like
git todo web
which will open a local web server that serves a github/gitlab issues-like interface for you to use. you can take out new issues, comments on existing issues, etc.
theres a way to do this that runs in the browser without javascript. i know this is important to a lot of people. this whole thing becomes *a lot easier* to make and make extensible if i can use javascript though. so, a poll:
assuming such a thing is interesting to you in the first place, would you use it if it depended on javascript in the browser?
Sure, you've learned to feel at peace with the typos you find in your blog posts and your social media posts.
But have you tried the next level?
