LuciOfStars··on I turned a 40 year old Apple Mouse into a speech to text button
Ah, okay -- sorry, thought you were being dense.

I'm sorry, did you just unironically say "mouses"? -_-

I vastly, vastly prefer my Mighty Mouse to the Magic Mouse.
LuciOfStars··on The vocal effects of Daft Punk
It's Daft Punk, are we really surpised? :-P
LuciOfStars··on Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup
Moment of silence for Play Music. YT Music isn't any less awful now than it was a decade ago.

Electron is horrid, but as a user, I prefer bloated "apps" to no support at all.

As for your second point: [1]

LuciOfStars··on Judge rules Apple executive lied under oath, makes criminal contempt referral
> So was Roman incompetent or... hoping to become the President of Finace?

Por qué no los dos?

LuciOfStars··on I'm manually transcribing the AltairBASIC source, ten lines a day starting today
Sorry, folks, I got COVID and haven't felt good enough for a couple days.
LuciOfStars··on I'm manually transcribing the AltairBASIC source, ten lines a day starting today
I do have some (surface-level) experience with GB/GBC assembly, but other than that I'm new. As for spell-checker, I've figured out how to rid myself of that. And the paper tape mix-up was just my inexperience.

All super interesting info!

I'll uhhhh. Buy a Bill Gates bobblehead. There, he has money.

I figured it out! Never using a Mac again. Hopefully my school gives me a different computer next year.
LuciOfStars··on Purple exists only in our brains
Came here looking for this haha, Alec's videos are always a treat.
LuciOfStars··on Vibe-Coding Leader Replit in Talks to Raise $200M for $3B Valuation
What even is "vibe coding"? From the looks of it, it's just a prettier way of saying "using ChatGPT to make my program, poorly."
LuciOfStars··on Transcribing the AltairBASIC source, by hand, ten lines at a time
Double submission because I'm fighting with this laptop; I thought I deleted the old one, but I'm not sure.
LuciOfStars··on Transcribing the AltairBASIC source, by hand, ten lines at a time
I'm manually transcribing the AltairBASIC source released by Bill Gates for fun and preservation's sake. I'm starting out with ten lines a day, but I'll be increasing or decreasing that if I feel like I need to do less or more. Not to be taken too seriously; I'm just doing this for fun! I'm not a programmer, just a nubbin with too much free time.

I'm having a struggle with this computer, it loves to correct Altair to Alta and I keep forgetting to correct it. Whoops.

No AI or OCR here, just an idiot with too much free time. After seeing that the AltaBASIC source posted was a scan of paper tape, I thought having it in a digital document proper would be good for preservation and novelty's sake. I've never written Assembly, and I'm not a typography expert! Feel free to point and laugh at any silly mistakes. Let's see how many days it takes!
LuciOfStars··on Git without a forge
SourceHut seems to be mostly what they're looking for. :-P
LuciOfStars··on Revolt: Open-Source Alternative to Discord
I would move to Revolt in a heartbeat, if it had a PluralKit equivalent. Currently the only thing keeping me trapped on Discord.
LuciOfStars··on Finland applies the “Housing First” concept (2020)
Sounds a lot better than building benches with handles that stick up your rear end.
LuciOfStars··on Man's brain turned to glass by hot Vesuvius ash cloud
Now he's definitely smoothbrained.
LuciOfStars··on MacBook Air M4
Yeah, sorry about that. Having a nasty day and haven't had my meds thanks to the scam that is insurance. Gotta watch myself. Have a nice timezone.
LuciOfStars··on YouTube Premium Lite: Ad-Free Viewing for $7.99/Month
I just torrent music. Call me old.
LuciOfStars··on YouTube Premium Lite: Ad-Free Viewing for $7.99/Month
I get ad-free viewing for $0 a month. It's called uBlock Origin.
LuciOfStars··on The Demoralization is just Beginning
Wait, that's geohot! Geohot the console hacker!
LuciOfStars··on MacBook Air M4
Warning about the case: MacBooks are not built to handle hard cases and you will destroy the hinge, screen, or both.
LuciOfStars··on MacBook Air M4
Nope, M3 did too.
LuciOfStars··on Signal will withdraw from Sweden if encryption-busting laws take effect
Everyone seems to be cheering for this, but I think it's important to remember that Swedes have a need for private, secure communications just like the rest of us. If they've already gotten their normie friends to switch to Signal, I highly doubt they'll be ecstatic about moving apps again. This is bad for people that depend on Signal, period.
