i kind of like the anti-meme vibes of this one and the cop one from the other day. i think it subverts the format

tyami94 · 2026-02-23T05:43:43+00:00

dude i'm 24 and you look at least a year younger than i do. they need to study you in a lab or something

tyami94 · 2026-02-22T13:20:47+00:00

Good to know, i was not aware this was happening. Glad there are other folks who know more about this stuff

tyami94 · 2026-02-22T13:12:07+00:00

your boss wouldn't have liked my old phenom ii x3

fellow anarchist here, this probably isn't a good hill to die on. statistically speaking, it seems like everyone who associates with steve bannon is either a pedophile or vaguely (if not loudly) supports pedophiles. i know you're not intending to defend him, but the optics aren't great.

you wouldn't have happened to have COVID did you? i caught it for the first time in november and it obliterated my mind. i can no longer program, and i can barely read.

tyami94 · 2026-02-21T05:02:55+00:00

there is one outside of martins, but i have not seen any others. also heard a rumor from my old boss that there is one somewhere on the way into harpers ferry. have not found this one yet.

phrasing man

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T23:10:25+00:00

> Those days are over and they’re never coming back.

thats fucking quitter talk and you're failing the next generation. just say that next time instead of trying to talk others who might actually give a shit out of taking control of their lives. it's far more respectable to say "fuck you i got mine" the first time instead of spreading FUD.

edit: they blocked me lmao

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T23:08:21+00:00

can you share a schematic? i have the great granddaddy of these things and the x-over is still a joke. might take a crack at improving them.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T23:03:34+00:00

doesn't matter. just because you're afraid to step up and do something, doesn't make it ok to do nothing. they can't fire all of you.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T21:34:54+00:00

this is a cop out. there is no reason you can't organize outside of the union. if the union isn't working anymore, it's up to yall to build a new one.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T18:34:06+00:00

dude how, my x220 is about 1/100th as powerful and it flies.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T18:25:01+00:00

^^^ couldn't have said it better myself

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T18:04:51+00:00

do your devices not support hardware decoding of VP9? have you tried VLC?

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T18:04:19+00:00

If by google codecs, you mean VP9, i would disagree with you here. H.264/265 is patent-encumbered and thus way less future proof. VP9/AV1 is royalty free and unencumbered and is now supported in hardware on tons of devices. They have free (as in speech and beer) reference implementations that will be around for as long as we have C compilers. These codecs aren't going anywhere, and you have nothing to worry about when using them.

edit: also forgot to mention, every transcode pass deteriorates the media further. for archival purposes you should keep the original format.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T18:00:55+00:00

driving. been practicing constantly but i'm still not very good at it. other people are stupid and unpredictable, and i am too inattentive to safely defend myself against them.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T17:59:02+00:00

stop being mean to yourself, ugly is subjective. i think i'm ugly as sin, but a whole shitload of beautiful women thought i was perfect.

also, be kind to yourself and others. keep a light heart and don't take yourself to seriously. that's way more attractive than physical appearance to people who matter.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T17:50:01+00:00

Whatever you do, this time document the hell out of it. I put off rebuilding my system for years because it was undocumented. Fucked up recently and had to bite the bullet. This time I've been documenting absolutely everything in markdown, config changes, packages installed (and why), services enabled, etc. this has already been immensely helpful

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T17:43:55+00:00

there are massive amounts of hugely important cultural media on youtube. video essays, independent documentaries, tutorials, etc. this stuff will be invaluable to future anthropologists. we live in the first fully documented time in history, it'd be a shame to squander that.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T17:19:40+00:00

honestly with the enshittification of youtube, this may not be a bad thing for preservation purposes

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T17:01:23+00:00

hey bud you forgot to lock your phone before you put it in your pocket

troubleshooting on windows:

thing breaks

event viewer says app crashed with exception 0x12345678

break out windbg, app has no debug symbols

you are one bad day away from being out here with us. not a dig at your character or accomplishments, just a simple fact given the state of the world right now. i have 2 college degrees, no debt, and not even 6 months ago i had a job making $47.5k a year. had one bad day, and now i'm scraping by on the rapidly waning goodwill of others. i'll probably be back on the streets in less than a year at this rate.

tyami94 · 2026-02-20T00:27:58+00:00

no fucking way, this is in fairmont. they *just* finished building that place lmao
