Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 19mI've heard at least anecdotal accounts of parrots being able to at least... repeat phrases monolithically in appropriate contexts. Like hearing the "it's okay, it's okay" the owner would use to soothe them, and repeat it back when their owner was distressed. 100
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 1hLook, you want something hard to crack, LET ME GIVE YOU 128 CHARACTERS OF UNICODE LINE NOISE. 030
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 1hSo a thing you don't notice until you start using a password manager with a fancy password generator is how many sites set *upper* bounds on your password length and *forbid* a lot of special characters. 140
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 5hBoy don't you just love having the entire world around you turn into slop. Ooh, just monetize that rot as the world crumbles around you! Who cares if you just make things a little bit worse for everyone! You might even get rich if venture capital still exists next year! 010
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 5hThe upside is the problem isn't actually with this package it's webkit upstream and i can easily fix that by temporarily downgrading. ANd fuck it's webkit. that probably means vibecoding doesn't it 110
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 5hMe: [spends like an hour putting together an amazing 100% reproduction path for a bug report] Maintainer: [closes bug report in less than 5 minutes because it's a duplicate of a bug named based on what's happening rather than the symptoms I observed] Like that's fair enough but aaaaugh. 100
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 16hI literally do this from time to time as a not-intended-to-deceive shitpost! 010
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 21hThe weird control freak nerd in me wishes SDL could emplace its structures onto memory you'd already allocated. This isn't a rational desire. And i could probably achieve it by doing horrible abuses of SDL's allocator functions.but i should probably just not worry about it. 010
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 22hSo the 20th century had the rooring twenties and i feel like this century has somewhere between the screaming and the sobbing 20s. 020

Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 29/09/2026It's kinda funny that in modern English Austria and Australia get their names easily confused, because Australia comes from Australis, the latin word for "south", but Austria comes from Ostarrîchi, the Old High German word for "Eastern realm" 020
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 29/09/2026Back in the 00s i used to use poison headcrab sounds from half-life 2 as my text and system notification songs to deliberately troll anyone else who'd played the game. But then when i played the game I would keep wanting to check my phone. 010

Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 28/09/2026I think a lot of The ~Discourse~ around the terminology kind of misses the point that they are jargon terms, and that jargon is a natural consequence of a field having things that need concise terminology because they're important to that field, but of lesser interest outside that field. 041
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 28/09/2026(he got called the voice of "reason" during the latest Yudkowsky-adjacent cult kerfluffle but he wasnt't so much acting from reason as from "slowdown means less shovels to sell to the miners and stonks don't go up as fast") 000
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 28/09/2026TBF, i don't think Huang *expects*. He just says the thing that makes the stonks go up right now 120
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 28/09/2026The market can remain irrational longer than the planet can remain solvent. 010
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 28/09/2026I've been saying for years than the 2008 recession never ended; they just figured how to better separate the stock market from the real world. 030
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 28/09/2026It'd kinda be interesting to see a remaster of one of the donkey kong country games (or some other prerendered-sprite-graphic game) in modern HD. (ofc who knows if any of the original models were kept or if they'd survive being seen at high resolution but) 030
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026That's correct but it's also worth noting that all of the idTech engines up through gen 4 (doom 3 engine) do have official GPL source releases and accompanying source ports. I don't think any of the games besides Doom have "freedoom" style noncommercial base data. 100
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026Ken Silverman, the creator of the engine, makes it sound like it's an official open source release www.advsys.net/ken/build.htmadvsys.netKen Silverman's Build Engine Page 020
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026I'm still not convinced that leaving IRC was a net benefit. 140
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026People keep asserting this crap and I really gotta wonder what's actually convincing them because literally every time i've actually seen it in action it kinda half-works if you don't look at it too hard. It's literally been just like the text and the images. 050
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026Also in my particular experience, all the coworker music I've heard is dad rock. 120
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026fontforge! It is, as far as I am aware, basically the only game in town. 110
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026And unlike my prior font mad science, this is OFL so if anyone wants to play around with this, have fun: github.com/aubade/font-...github.comGitHub - aubade/font-new-heterodox-mono: New Heterodox Mono is an open-source serif programming font.New Heterodox Mono is an open-source serif programming font. - aubade/font-new-heterodox-mono 100
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 27/09/2026There we go. I'm not proud of the vectorwork, and 2 and 5 gave me particular trouble but i think this is workable. 100
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 26/09/2026Me: Oh, this is a really nice didone serif monospace font. (New Heterodox Mono) It even has a decent loop size on e to make it easy to distinguish from c. Also me: It doesn't have old style figures though Still me: 200

Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 26/09/2026Man. Back in 2009 i used to wonder "Did the nebulous They somehow get to Obama?" Sometimes i still wonder that because is this really the same dude that was around in 2008 000
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 26/09/2026We had low effort Corporate Art-flavored Product long before the slop engines and probably will long after LLMs are forgotten. 020
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 26/09/2026I appreciate that the new ghost in the shell is proudly and stubbornly set in 2029 050
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 26/09/2026tbf it was probably like that for us and our parents too. The media just hid it better back then so we didn't find out until they were dead or safely out of extradition range. 110
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 25/09/2026Aww, darn. C++ doesn't yet have an equivalent of D's opDispatch overload. That allows some absolute sicko shit and i love it unreasonably. 020
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 25/09/2026They need all the water to count the number of Rs in strawberry. 0273
Morning Song @aubade.itch.io · 25/09/2026Man. C++ finally starts to get serious compile-time type reflection just in time for all the major compilers to turn into slop. This is such a depressing time to like computers. 150
