as of now, autistici.org has this status in the whois :
Domain Status: serverHold https://icann.org/epp#serverHold

Well, I get to attempt to build entryway ramps now. Fortunately they're not especially complicated, but I seriously doubt I'm going to be able to avoid needing to acquire more timber for it.

It would have been nice to have had more than a few hour's notice that they would be needed.

@somafm do you have any thoughts on why there's more interaction here?

Could it be that there's fewer people on here, so things don't get lost in the "firehose" maybe? Just guessing.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

#Emacs people, what is the canonical way of handling a value change of a variable made with defcustom?

Arcaea 7.0: Divine Oblivion was released yesterday. It is by far the sickest thing I've ever had the chance to work on throughout my career. Please go check it out. Now excuse me, I have to go back to looping Riven Pilgrimage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ41BuILuVE

Fedifriends, for those who are wondering what the hell #ICAC #ICACRadio etc is all about, I’ve linked it below. The last few days have been especially interesting for the sheer dumbarcery of people tripping over themselves with their lies.

new cursed discovery: if I put my hand on top of my laptop PSU, my sound card starts outputting very high volume noise on the headphone jack

to be extremely clear: if you're of the opinion that...

- we should keep politics out of software
- pride events in videogames break your immersion
- only technical prowess matters
- these damn leftists bring up drama where they go

calling all queer fedinerds. i've just started making a #neovim fork with the simple mission statement to not be #fashware and a safe environment for all people

if you'd like to contribute, respond to this thread, dm me, email me (address in website) or send me a payloaded icmp packet through an avian carrier

> I don’t think it’s cute that someone vibe coded “battleship” in VimScript. I think it’s more important that we stop collectively pretending that we don’t understand how awful all of this is.
