hopefully Nintendo doesn't ban me for using the Switch 2 exploit to move my FFX savegame to Steam lol (easy conversion btw, just strip the first 8 bytes of all the files)

the naysayers on the NS2 exploit are crazy tbh, fs arbwrite isn't kernel but it's like, literally the next best thing in terms of actually doing things on the console. shitton of lateral movement.

can we talk about how disgusting it is that Ubuntu sticks Snap appdata in ~/snap. Not even a hidden folder, just a random folder in the home directory.

@sammypanda that's kinda what's made me happy to see in some niche modding circles, there seems to be a lot of people learning C/ASM now because the learning opportunity cost is suddenly way lower. but it's very K shaped, you either want to learn or you learn even less now

I find this viewpoint fascinating personally, because I both loathe the Special Good Boy Cliques that exist in tech, and have found that LLMs have genuinely made spaces I occupy a hell of a lot less lonely for once. I love the equalization of talent.

the Android and PC versions of KOTOR "support" controllers but it's super clunky and not the actual Xbox UI. And personally I'm not a fan of the mobile dialog UI so I patched that too.

I'm running it in a very university-C++-autograder fashion where it's allowed to know the grade it gets on behavior, but the qualitative grades aren't known to it except that the task says it should use 'Real C++ and descriptive names'

running my benchmark on glm-5.3-flash and it has probably the most amusing result on this no-RTTI inheritance bytematching task (GLM vs v4-flash vs original) (the models had access to python, objdump and a .so, so it not finding the strings is strictly a skill issue)
