A transphobe on a Lemmy instance, how “”““fantastic””“”.

I think they were being sarcastic.

Edit: Mmmmm… Thinking about maybe they weren’t.

At the same time, I also translated all the error messages from Spanish to English, because my source code files still were using a Windows codepage, and clang kept complaining of illegal character encodings.

POV: Your toolchain was written by a bunch of Americans who don’t know a lick of Spanish, and their skin tone is the same as a sheet of A4 printer paper.

Same issue with Ghidra. It looked at all the Spanish strings inside the RAM dump of the LG Voyager and went “Ah. Those aren’t strings of text, those are mystery bytes!”

I know there’s no true universal method of representing characters with accents in 8 bits but just EUUUUGH!

…It’s not the thing you snipped off below it?

Those are LEDs.

The whole line of events is so batshit insane it’s something only reality can produce.

Something something “reality is stranger then fiction”.

Gatekeeping technology is a personal irritation of mine.

The famicom and capacitor electrolytes should not belong to individual companies, they belong to all of humanity.

Anyone else have their head stuck in the “cheap nasty embedded computing” stretch of sand under the “tech sun”?

…That was a really weird metaphor.

Cheap famiclones excite me, not modern graphics cards.
