@ben in training, hitting 40-50 FPS on the "AMD Radeon (TM) R7 M370" with all the advanced video settings cranked to max, and all the visual effects enabled.
the integrated HD Graphics 530 hits 30-40 FPS.
@ben my laptop doesn't support DX12/Vulkan and i am happy when games get double digit FPS
is this shitty enough

there are single-person operations that i would trust more than billion dollar corporations, and there are billion dollar corporations that have disappointed me less than 'mom and pop businesses' thru sheer incompetence and evilness both. capitalists are never to be trusted at all

Noticed that mastodon.social has become the origin of bot spam waves? This was all Gargron's plan when pushing mastodon.social as the entry point for the Mastodon Network 
so there is only a single instance to block to get rid of the spam. Thank you for the sacrifice ❤️
@louis Sounds too good to be true

project management / issue tracker advice
Don't try to minimize the amount of open issues in your issue tracker! Issues are *contributions* from users, telling you about problems that you were not aware of yet - they're not pests to get rid of.
Closing issues without either solving them or a good(!) reason why they won't be fixed - for *any* reason, including stalebots - will just sour people on your project. They won't tell you that; they'll just stop showing up. And the issue still won't be fixed.
Instead, treat your issue tracker like a priority queue: accept that you're never going to get to zero, accept that some issues will remain open a long time because they are not urgent, and find a good way to order the list by your criteria of importance.
Work on things as time permits, in order of importance, communicate this to users, and establish a good rhythm of bugfixes that users are happy with even if *their* specific bug isn't fixed yet.
There are a lot more useful thoughts on this topic in this article: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20171213

Did you hear about the executive body of the European Union's plan to give out standardised study points for a course in a Scottish university on using small diophantine equations to detect and repair transmission errors using an embedded programming language in a computer interface used to debug cross-border trains run by a British company? (Content warning: _no_ eye contact!)

So shitbag company #AudioEye is suing @aardrian:
https://adrianroselli.com/2023/05/audioeye-is-suing-me.html
This is after sending him spurious cease and desist letters last year:
https://adrianroselli.com/2022/04/my-cease-desist-from-audioeye.html
What is AudioEye?
It’s Magic Techbro Dust¹ you sprinkle on your website to – poof! – make it accessible.
Only it seems to keep getting folks sued for being inaccessible:
Almost like you can’t magically make an inaccessible site accessible or something… 🤔

I should post mpeg-ts stream dumps of them, tbh - for fun
especially the old Netflix loading screen
my TV is a bit odd when it comes to the TV tuner
It shows everything it can find, without regard for if it should be hidden or not according to the program table
So it shows me a really old Netflix loading screen on 168, a test channel with advertisements on a loop on 777, and OTA update channels for some receiver boxes in the channel list
someone was selling a vive pro with three trackers, three base stations, pulley system, controllers etc for $600 buy now price, but i accidentally placed a bid, and can no longer buy it for that

DISGUSTED at the double standards i see on mastodon.
When I, a silicon valley startup tech guy, talk about wanting activitypub to be the Next Big Thing, to see the fediverse grow endlessly, to expand to impossible sizes, I'm a Dirty Capitalist who you hate and want to murder
But when some FURRY posts about how they want to be INFLATED all HUGE until they're the BIGGEST AROUND
EVERYONE THINKS THEY'RE JUST FANTASTIC
I have a piece of tape on my screen protector to avoid getting shards of glass in my fingers
I should probably replace it
