i just had the coolest experience. i looked up a pottery studio in albuquerque because i drove past it and was curious and they had something called "slow cool crystaline glaze" and i knew immediately how it worked from glass experience

It's not giving up, it's "leaning out".

If you’re in the Columbus, Ohio, area, make a trip to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum on May 23 for its grand gallery re-opening! Chris Ware headlines, plus a new permanent exhibition on—surprise!—the Story of Comics. Yours truly has a video in this that runs perpetually. https://library.osu.edu/site/cartoons/2026/04/28/billy-ireland-cartoon-library-museum-reopens-may-23/

@rockario @jacel and that's why there are three of them

Wait, wait, wait. There’s going to be a UFC fight at the White House in June?

Turns out Idiocracy got it right. 😳

@catsalad

This is commonly done through pointer-linked data structures,

why are we still saying "pointer" when we're in ring 0???? that's a physical address buddy

and this use of what are also called mutable inductively-defined data structures

no citation here is so disrespectful lmao

is the cause of a great degree of the difficulty in reasoning about such code formally.

i'm sorry you're having difficulty maybe it's time to give it up???

@evan I have Xanax, but that takes like 30 minutes to work. It's reassuring to know it's going to kick in even before it starts actually working, so that helps. I also reach out, sometimes by posting, but usually also directly to friends and loved ones. Sometimes I talk out what's making me anxious, but sometimes that's not even clear, so I just have to try to distract myself.

2016: Microsoft "embraces" Linux.

https://www.inc.com/joseph-steinberg/microsofts-startling-announcement-shows-these-major-business-trends-are-real.html

2026: Microsoft "extends" Linux.

2036: Microsoft "extinguishes" (all others) Linux. People locked into draconian licenses agreements - even for personal use. People wonder, how did we get here (again)???

I can't believe we've thrown rocks for 30 years just to give up and hug Goliath just because he changed his shirt.

Fuck this with all that is fuckable!

@EpsteinPutin Why do you keep showing up in my replies when I have very clearly told you to "fuck off" like three times already? Maybe four.

When you hit reply, go up to the top where you see the names and remove the one that says @AnarchoNinaWrites

Also, nobody in my replies is a Trump supporter you muppet; Trump supporters don't hang around waiting to hear "your fucking dipshit messiah is a child rapist nazi."

Take your fucking feels and get out of my replies - for GOOD asshole.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced another extension of a sanctions waiver allowing purchases of Russian seaborne oil to aid "energy-vulnerable" countries hit by the Iran war. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/19/world/politics/us-sanctions-waiver-russian-oil/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #scottbessent #us #donaldtrump #middleeast #iran #straitofhormuz #oil #russia #g7

Here (Finland) most of the labor of love stations have a license that allows to have sparse operating hours and thus they mostly operate on weekends.
It does help that a low power (50W max) FM permit is like 36eur if you only run a week or so.

The main uses for audio input (at least in our hypothetical string-centric OS) would be saving snippets of it, with or without video, to be played back later or streaming it over the internet via (S)RTP to be played elsewhere.

Then again we might want to incorporate voice commands (traversing links by label), for which we'd need the aid of an NPU. I find Mythic's designs sufficiently weird for my tastes...

Setting that usecase aside it'd mostly be our camera app & SRTP viewer interested.

Whether supplied via USB or an analog signal our CPU receives a sequence of regularly-sampled numbers. Frequently 16bit 44.1kHz or higher.

Our CPU would use its FPMA coprocessor to aid compressing this data before streaming it to your harddrive or over the internet. I've already discussed details of how this compression works at https://adrian.geek.nz/from-scratch/browser-auditory#audio-recordings .

And we might interleave this into a video, by using container formats (like Ogg, MPEG, USB, or SRTP) to damarcate the substreams.

2/2!
