Imagine if Intel snapped and disabled Stephen Hawking’s wheelchair and computer, and he needed to pay for a new one with a different voice, absolutely helpless without it.

If you’re using xkb
, try this guide. Of course, backup any system files before modifying them, and just to be sure, add a 2nd keyboard layout as backup and know how to switch between them to have a fallback if you corrupt the primary one.
There might be TUI or GUI tools too, probably way more convenient for a one-off change on a single PC.
I just changed one of the existing layouts. Very easy in any text editor, you just need to find the proper name or Unicode code for each function/character.
Nope. But I guess a mirror of WebAssembly Studio would still be the best starting point despite its slow development lately. The WAsm plugin for VSCodium was broken for me too.
Note that unlike JS, WASM won’t run from file://
URLs; you need to run a local http server or commit to an online repo to run your code. There might be an about:config
option to change this but many IDEs (incl. WA Studio, presumably) come with servers for this reason.
A forgotten one is webassembly.studio, an in-browser IDE for creating WASM projects with way less pain than other methods. It got discontinued the year I needed it for my school project. It was open source but I failed to rehost it myself and public mirrors only appeared after I spent days trying to make Emscripten work, tore my hair out over WebGL and then finally painfully built the whole thing with CSS (and a bit of JS; yes, it was indeed a disaster).
Google has. The Zürich university fella needed his own data classification monkeys.
I installed FakeStore and set the app’s relevant /data/system/packages.xml
properties from Aurora Store to FakeStore (installer="com.android.vending" packageSource="0" installInitiator="com.android.vending"
, the same as Google Play Store) and rebooted, which was enough to fool the public transport app I’m using. Is this the workaround you’re talking about, or does it require MicroG too?
It’s a minix clone, so… mimix?
We should make a donation campaign, pretty sure somebody has a spare SATA drive around. This minix clone sounds good
I’m glad someone was able to donate a non-AT drive because Linus could not afford it :-(
Arbitrators are very likely to lose their business if they rule against their more frequent client (which is the company of course).
I hope some politician finally steps in and nullifies all forced arbitration clauses, in past and future contracts. There is no legitimate reason for them to be allowed from the customer’s standpoint (and most voters are primarily customers).
I’m glad I’ve overwritten all my comments.
The easiest tool: PowerDeleteSuite
Don’t forget to make the script prepare a backup file and download it once complete. In the replacement string, link to your Lemmy account so that anyone looking for the content can just PM you.

How? Why? By first saving it as a fixed-palette GIF?
Popular myth but untrue.
The ROM is exactly 40 kiB or 40 960 bytes. The NES outputs video at a resolution of 256×240=61 440 pixels. The game never switches palettes mid-frame and thus the highest possible number of colors (of the 64 available ones, of which 55 are distinct) in any screenshot is: 4 sprite palettes × 3 non-transparent colors per palette = 12 colors among all sprites; plus 4 background palettes × 3 selectable colors per palette + 1 selectable color shared between all palettes = 13 colors in the background; or 25 colors in total.
Even one of the most basic lossless image formats, GIF, can use an n-bit palette of 2ⁿ−1 arbitrary colors plus transparent, where 1≤n≤8. For n=5, we can store up to 31 colors at 5 bits per pixel, or 307 200 bits total, which is 38 400 bytes. The palette entries, size etc. will take about 200 bytes at most, and LZW compression built into the format (or even better, whatever PNG uses) can be used to reduce the file size further (significanly because there are huge areas filled with solid color or patterns).
I’d bet it’s possible to make an NES ROM that does nothing but fill the screen with noise-like tiles and switches the colors mid-frame, likely in just 8 kiB of video ROM plus 2 kiB of program ROM, whose screenshots will never compress to below 10 kiB in PNG format, though.
I knew patch files were small (often smaller than their metadata) but I wouldn’t have guessed they were THAT small. I think we’ll see somebody running a spinoff soon, as well as domain squatters offering malware-ridden copies of Lunar Magic (the patching tool).
I don’t think tapes degrade that fast. Yes, the quality will get slightly worse but it can be played until it becomes too brittle.
The social security card says it was issued to “ELON MUSK” but my name is “Elon Musk”. Direct all these supposedly mine tax bills to “ELON MUSK” and leave me alone.
