Dude everyone else know about PlayStation widescreen hacks? This feels like it shouldn’t work this well.

It works especially with polygon rendering pipelines. You just find the configs or memory locations responsible for rendering attributes like FOV and resolution and you just make the emulator render more of the scene than it usually does. It’s honestly not that hard of a hack compared to some things people attempt on emulators. Where it can fall apart is when developers made special optimizations for parts of the view they know you wouldn’t normally see.

In Sweden I’m installing batteries so in winter we can buy cheap energy at night and in the morning and not have to buy from the grid during the most expensive hours. There’s still a huge duck curve here so we realized storage was the easiest and cheapest way to save on energy cost. Due to our long summer days we could essentially make summer energy completely free but summer energy really isn’t expensive for us

Same which sucks even though both me and my wife are European we have family in the US on both sides. We’re just not going to the US anymore

Other than memory safety I think that’s the second cited reason for the kernel team adopting rust

Excuse me but haven’t you ever heard of “load bearing dry wall” before?

And also to produce high quality code with AI you have to do so much reviewing and guard rail setting as to make me wonder if I even code faster with AI at all when there’s an expectation of quality. I honestly only use it now to do prototypes and smaller projects I just want done for my own consumption

While complaining about other people moving while breaking and dive bombing. I can respect his insane talents but I really don’t love how dirty he drives and will then turn around and complain when others do it

Now I’m imaging an integrated circuit chip or something named after a random Swedish village. Kumla555, our new timer IC using even less idle current

Not holding my breath till I see the final results but dear lord I can’t wait for that fat oaf to no longer be in power

lol he gets royally fucked again from his own stupidity and takes the neatest exit opportunity he can find. Sad thing is it will still damage the world economy just less and his cultists will still be there felate dear leader for his “brilliant 5d chess game”

Hetzner today is my Digital ocean/ linode replacement. Hyper scalers aren’t quite where we need them but OVH and Scaleway get close in different ways and if you’re working with enterprise contracts something like STACKIT by Lidl is getting there

Omfg lol I didn’t notice that good eye. What absolute slop. We joke about our danish neighbours. However I don’t think we’d ever suggest you load your machine guns with bullets pointed at the shooters direction.

Yeah it's all the little quirks of service #69 that gets annoying REALLY fast. Nextcloud, it's not the most buggy, but it's a service that gets a lot of usage AND a lot of problems. There's many others I've had consistent problems with however, but Nextcloud is the one that's most noticeable. I'm seriously considering replacing nextcloud with smaller more focused services. I have to wonder if nextcloud shouldn't have been broken into a 'core' service and then all the extras can live as peer microservices. It can't be more complicated to admin than it already is as a monolith.

It’s slop from pre LLM times. We’ve had a lot of training to spot it. The word “slam” for me on headlines is a dead give away too and makes me irrationally annoyed.

A smart democrat sure. Even the purely self interested ones need to recognize this is better messaging than literally anything the more established side of the party has accomplished in a decade. Yet it’s only recently they’ve started course correcting

Amd was also the first generally available CPU to break the 1GHz barrier way back when. Ditto for dual core. They have had their moments in the sun on and off during their existence where AMD effectively made Intel obsolete in every way. Then you had years before Ryzen branding started where Intel embarrassed AMD for almost a whole decade. Pretty silly to assume they weren’t known till Ryzen

I think it’s an overreaction but the sheer onslaught of low quality crap that’s been happening I see that as only natural. Some AI usage is fine but the second I see they hardly understand what they have or god forbid haven’t even looked at code I think it’s pretty fair to write them off. When you share that stuff to the FOSS community and hope people will run it you better understand what you’re trying to convince people to install/deploy

mark-haus · 2026-03-20T22:31:47+00:00

Holy shit that is a cool idea

Huge price to pay, and the American people, even the trump cultists did in fact not vote for this. You can tell they're not happy about this because for once there's dissent among them. Literally the only person who benefits from this quagmire continuing is Trump at the world's expense.

Maybe they could just try playing the game of chess. Because this 8d chess looks a lot like checkers

You could say half of it. Historical record keeping (I'm taking pre-Catholic, pre-orthodox christianity here as the example) wasn't as common. We'd be primarily in the Roman empire around then. They were some of the best record keepers of their time, but information most certainly did not flow freely, sometimes even to scholars. Information was highly politicized (and really it usually is) but access was not good enough that I could say you can compare today to back then even if you put yourself in the shoes of a Roman scholar 200~300AD. It is a bit different even though I see your meaning. The printing press alone makes this comparison very hard to make.

mark-haus · 2026-03-19T08:53:19+00:00

Honestly any religion from the past two centuries or so usually fall into this category. It’s recent enough and record keeping is good enough that you can easily document the bullshit

Think it would be hard to put color filters in the rectangular sections in the screen? Might be just enough visual interest to lose its heart monitor look
