how is it using character numbers to index the VGA palette! I don't understand at all!!!

smzxtest running on a video adapter based on the Alliance Semiconductor ProMotion AT24 chipset. The displayed text is completely incomprehensible because, while it's technically displaying a 256-color text mode, it's using characters to index the VGA palette instead of the usual combined 4-bit color indices. The result is effectively an 80x25 pixel 256-color graphics mode and the strangest SMZX failure mode I've seen yet.

unrelated to any recent news, I recommend missing every SaaS password manager and instead using a local one. You can mostly just copy the database file between devices and it will work. The database file is encrypted, so just copy it somewhere to back it up. Also, they are free of charge

there's not one thing that AI can do that I have any use for. i can no longer be sure what things even look like, whether a story is true, whether a translation means what its original writer said. because AI exists, I am forced to investigate everything I read, look at, and interact with. fuck AI.

Assuming any of this is real, I will burn my stream to the ground and bury the ashes if they want to start feeding my streams to the Gen AI machine. I'll stream somewhere else. Nowhere. I don't care. I'll go outside and setup a projector or something. I'm so fucking sick of this. No one wants this.

Have there been enough layoffs to convince enough game devs that we should just refuse to crunch because we have zero job security anyways? I left my dream job of 10+ years at WotC in part because the VP said crunch was baked into the schedule

This is my trans agenda

The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools already

Trans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for

To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults.

For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selves

Somewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.

When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.

this works somehow. Caverns only gets about 2fps when I run it in FS-UAE 68020 mode but it somehow runs pretty well in 68030 mode (unbounded CPU speed?). i'm sure there's a use for this port

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected vmfunc.re/blog/persona

Friendly reminder that money speaks louder than anything. If you're currently using Nitro, you really should cancel it. I'm sorry if it means not being able to use your emotes wherever you want or whatever it actually does, but this is a little bigger than emotes.
