LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Monday, 13-Jan-2025 09:24:08 JST LisPi @nyanide @doskel Most of the tab-only configurations are mode-specific so I can't provide any general advice.
indent-tab-mode allows it to go mixed, instead of only spaces. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Monday, 30-Sep-2024 14:53:16 JST LisPi @kasdeya @kitsunecafe I'm relatively fond of that Jim Jarmusch quote that starts with "Nothing is original."
Quoth: “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to."

LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 22-Aug-2024 08:48:32 JST LisPi @foone Is it at least one of those special mobile-use HDDs that detects hazardous movement and parks the head(s) automatically to minimize issues? -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 18-Jul-2024 15:07:39 JST LisPi @foone I don't suppose there'd be a recourse available? Because that's kind of a ridiculous outcome. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Tuesday, 16-Jul-2024 10:24:36 JST LisPi @MK2boogaloo @iska Oof. That's going to be a long downtime. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Monday, 10-Jun-2024 14:50:53 JST LisPi Hm, yes. 3$/h for commisions is too low (duh).
That being said, >=100$ commissions is also in the territory of "I guess I'll have to skip half my meals this week and maybe the next".
Or I suppose it might motivate learning to do the art by oneself instead, much like the trade example mentioned in the screenshot I'm subposting leads to. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Monday, 10-Jun-2024 14:50:51 JST LisPi @iska Currently nothing in particular.
Plus, an additional aspect in my case comes up with how most artists /don't/ accept any sort of anonymous payment methods so that's a no-go for me anyway. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 15-May-2024 07:30:51 JST LisPi @foone @whitequark It is interesting, though I wonder why not just use an embedded Scheme. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 18-Apr-2024 14:52:01 JST LisPi @aral @kissane Well, to be fair there's the third option of living in poverty with whatever assistance one qualifies for (since basically nowhere has UBI or anything like a budget for contributors to the commons). -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Mar-2024 10:41:17 JST LisPi @icedquinn @Suiseiseki @coolboymew In truth, not pre-writing it doesn't really change anything if one didn't make the mistake of using it without encryption before.
The only difference is that wiping it with random data or even just zeros isn't an option. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Mar-2024 10:17:53 JST LisPi @coolboymew @Suiseiseki Sounds like they're doing the old silly idea of going "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/some-drive" before finally making it into an encrypted device.
It's entirely pointless (on everything) and actively counterproductive on SSDs, naturally. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 10-Feb-2024 11:29:31 JST LisPi Fakku shitbags did their best to remind everyone they exist in the worst possible way.
Does anyone know of any I2P/Veilid doujin site that doesn't give a shit about copyright fascists?
Or some P2P filesharing system on those, that'd work too. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 10-Feb-2024 11:29:29 JST LisPi @Senator_Armstrong Those miscreants that seek the supremacy of copyright over art and culture, even if they have to kill it in order to achieve that goal. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 10-Feb-2024 11:29:27 JST LisPi @Senator_Armstrong Shared copies aren't lost sales though, there are various reasons for this, particularly when international borders start to get involved (licensing, laws, censors, all sorts of nonsense).
I'm not disputing that the labor of creating art should be valued and those doing it paid.
I do however fundamentally disagree with any model founded on an oxymoron like "intellectual property" which ignores the actual value involved, where it lies and the interactions possible with artistic materials.
(It also ignores the many negative impacts which the imposition of the supremacy of its fiction involves.) -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 14:41:47 JST LisPi @mima @MK2boogaloo The progressive decoding feature is part of the superiority I mention.
I don't want to have to wait for minutes over throttled connections for an image to update line by line. JPEG XL keeps JPEG's progressive decoding.
And yes, unfortunately ideally one doesn't convert an image once it is in its publishing format. The time to do it right was at creation time. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 14:41:22 JST LisPi @mima @MK2boogaloo JPEG XL is superior to both versions in most circumstnaces, I think.
I'm also deeply unimpressed with the state of mainstream webp codec implementations. Arbitrary code execution from image decoding is utterly unacceptable. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Jan-2024 07:55:52 JST LisPi @cstross @foone @abursey Backblast might make it a weapon of last resort, though. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 13-Jan-2024 10:11:07 JST LisPi @MoeBritannica @iska DVD/VHS 1999 was pretty nice. -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Saturday, 30-Dec-2023 12:47:56 JST LisPi @Zerglingman @gavi The lack of I2P torrent support is a significant flaw as it greatly limits what can be hosted safely (think even just copyright bullshit). -
LisPi (lispi314@udongein.xyz)'s status on Thursday, 28-Dec-2023 03:28:40 JST LisPi @coolboymew @lanodan Faxes did require some particular and targeted hacks to keep working on IP phonelines though (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.38).
