"In England and Wales, courts consider computers, as a matter of law, to have been working correctly unless there is evidence to the contrary. Therefore, evidence produced by computers is treated as reliable unless other evidence suggests otherwise. [...] A court will treat a computer as if it is working perfectly unless someone can show why that is not the case. This presumption poses a challenge to those who dispute evidence produced by a computer system"

i had an app on my iphone which my phone's operating system randomly decided to delete off my phone. thankfully, they replaced the icon with a shortcut to re-download the app from the app store. when i tapped it, it said "sorry this app no longer exists on the app store so it's gone forever". so they deleted my app! not the developer's app, sure the developer made the app but the app was mine, it was on my phone! and they deleted it!

to effectively compete with microsoft, linux needs to up its AI game. heres some ideas:

• new default shell with "did you mean" autocomplete recommendation carousel showing adverts for popular pay-to-win games using sixel graphics
• kernel continuously runs strings on /dev/mem and pipes the result up to the chatgpt 32-gigatoken-context model
• drop support for opengl/vulkan and replace with dall-e for increased realism
• tux now lives on your desktop and can joke, write rap lyrics, and flirt

expired: online streaming service

tired: local music library app

wired: sorting every sound file on your computer by date modified and really drilling down into the 2002-2005 era, really bathing in all the 96kbps weird al limewire content, just absolutely jiving and bumpin it with star wars disco theme, absolutely living and loving life with 59 second long wma clips of the matrix soundtrack in mono

i gave up caffeine completely two months ago. it was pretty easy after i got past a couple of days of constant low-level flu-like headache. over the subsequent 71 days i've noticed the following results:

• slightly less energy
• slightly less ability to concentrate
• slightly less desire to do things

the only reason i've stuck with it this long is that it seemed like an achievement that i didn't want to ruin, but to be honest, i should probably just start drinking coffee again at some point

me: hmm let’s have a look, which library should i use?

library A: it’s 1c1h. one c file, one header file

library B: to build this repo you need to install GluoOn, a fork of MoonOn, a build system based on the Ploob ecosystem. Edit the Ploob intermediates for your platform and include them in the XJAMELLE files. XJAMELLE is a post-Turing-complete configuration solution based on JSON, YAML and XML. To get familiar with the language, i recommend these books: note that these are affiliate links,

ive never played any of the (3d) fallout games, but occasionally i read stuff about them and i'm like "wow, looks like i missed out" and then i go look at a screenshot of fallout 3 and the textures are so high contrast, gritty, yet blurry, the lighting so hazy and muddled, the bloom so overwhelming, the hues so lacking, that my eyes can't even parse what's going on or what anything is, and i remember how that aesthetic's takeover of the action genre completely lost me on a whole decade of gaming

you'd be surprised how often you can solve a "math problem" you're having with your code by printf debugging, noticing the size of the error in your calculation is similar in magnitude to some other variable you're using somewhere else and simply adding that variable to the offending expression, and noticing that that somehow completely solves it
