god same. there's still good moments to be had though

this is absolutely beat saber to me. there's like a dozen, *maybe* two dozen unofficial maps out of all of them that are actually playable. the rest I'm not 16 enough for

any way to have a print shipped to me despite this? 😭

additionally, you can try this neat app: hypercritical.co/hyperspace/ there's a long explanation of how it works on the site but tl;dr APFS can deduplicate files natively

that's gonna be a free software clone of the kind to be displayed prominently next to super tux kart

it's great! you might wanna re-export those svgs with the text converted to curves though

And finally, this macro shot of a drop of water on a leaf. I really like the way the sky is reflected in the drop. photos.emmalyx.dev/photos/dropl...

could be worse (the tumblr post: www.tumblr.com/neostellarjp...)

a tumblr post by user "neostellarjpg" containing drawn artwork of dave strider from homestuck wearing sunglasses and a dress

a screenshot of a discord message reading "just found out that the cool butch in the artwork I liked on tumblr the other day wasn't a cool butch at all. it was instead dave strider from homestuck"

feels like there's zero vetting for any of the lists on that site. I already got bitten by it once and hope it's not gonna happen a second time 🙃

just found the screenshots I took a while back when I was rifling through ipod firmwares

010

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 11/03/2026

never tried it, all I know is that old iPod firmwares contain files with the same content as what ninji posted

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 10/03/2026

old pre-iphone ipods have this too, to help with announcing song titles and artists

same hat, kinda! when I came out to my parents, my mom went "wait, Emma was my grandma's name" and it felt like getting hit with the "hold on, mildred?"

love the picture, love the composition. something about it reminds me of an in-progress cycles render though

@bombsfall.bsky.social found a Mae in the wild today as I was going home from an appointment. greetings from germany!

never used flash or animate but there's no such limit for all other adobe cc apps I've used. I assume adobe's file access threat has to do with how they won't grant licenses for animate after a certain date, which might make the whole app stop working. (unless you Obtained it elsewhere, ofc)

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 21/01/2026

oh my god yes. I wish deutsche bahn would make more of their apis public so I could indulge *more*

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 11/01/2026

condolences. back in nov 2023, I kicked the bottom of a stack of like 7 IVAR shelf boards to move it and learned real fast how friction between smooth wooden boards works. I was wearing birkenstocks and smashed my big toenail into the metal part of a board and this is *still* causing me issues today

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 18/12/2025

true, but that too is just happening in a datacenter. in a hypothetical world where those datacenters stop existing for one reason or another, everything genAI that doesn't run on phones effectively stops existing

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 18/12/2025

current big shot models still require hundreds of gigabytes of memory to run, placing them well and truly out of reach of normal people's computers, let alone phones. this is mistral's largest model, but most of the smaller ones aren't all that much smaller. this is not escaping DCs any time soon

A screenshot of the "Weights" section of the download page for Mistral AI's "Mistral Large 3" model. Among other things, it lists the GPU memory requirements as between 360 and 1800 gigabytes, depending on the quantization format.

@bearborg.bsky.social heya! I'm currently combing through prime 4's files in an attempt to find the music, but I'm getting nowhere since retrotool *just* got updated and the formats are pretty much still unknown. how'd you get vgmstream to decode anything?

130

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 03/11/2025

I'm reasonable sure macOS doesn't do that. if your monitor can't do HDR, you're not getting HDR. it's not kde with its half-baked hdr-on-sdr fuckery

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 01/11/2025

love this one a lot. really wanted to get a print of it but wasn't able to at the time 😭

good news: the photography site now has a functional rss feed with images!

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 14/08/2025

I never post but I finally took the time to get some of my photos online: photos.emmalyx.dev Some of them have HDR renditions, but those are only visible on HDR-capable iOS 26 devices rn.

yeah, and yet. :( I treat clientside colorspace conversions in browsers as basically non-existent and I'm thankful media queries exist to let me separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 03/08/2025

glass looks really cool though, thanks for making me aware of it!

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 03/08/2025

if I used a customized color profile I'd be fine with a photography website throwing up its hands and going "look we'll create an srgb copy but things might get weird"

100

Emma Alyx @emmalyx.dev · 03/08/2025

there's only so many Known color profiles so I think you could feasibly handle them all with simple "If Input Space Is Larger Than P3, Create New P3 Copy" (and again for srgb) heuristics
