Sucks to be you then.

Not a lot of updates in 2024 unfortunately. Is it dead?

QEMU is para-virtualization at near native speeds and supports GPU pass through for ya vidyagames.

I’ll switch when it’s fully implemented in open source and only I am the one with the private key. Until then its just more corporate blowjobs with extra steps.

And? I can post definitions too! Dictionaries are not that difficult to use.

First known to be used in the 1700s.

Because message boards have existed both in physical and online for a god damn millenia before fucking facebook and myspace were a whisper in the balls of the creator’s fathers. I have no fucking idea who any of you clown shoes are and I don’t fucking care either.

Children playing show and tell is more social media than online message boards.

Message boards are not social media.

Message boars are not social media.

As someone who was in the infantry and knows a LOT of soldiers stationed at the DMZ, this shit is not news.

Social media is bad for your brain. There’s plenty of communities on lemmy full of shitposts.

about that…

Unfortunately your guide links to stuff on adafruit that’s out of stock - mostly the screen/microprocessor…

I found this guide that has a walk through with full code and an easy to use library for making the interface quite a bit better:

I’m going to be building two initially for myself and my girlfriends kid but once I work out the details I’ll post it up on the fediverse somewhere with the full code to get going.

I am much more keen to use C instead of Python for something like a clock although I’m sure circuit-python is fast enough, id rather stick to native libraries.

I kinda wanna reverse/side engineer a replica you can DIY because fuck Nintendo.

gross.

That’s just a false dichotomy fallacy.

Just one more COPE and everyone on earth will immediately stop driving so much and eating so much meat.

We can’t even get motherfuckers to eat slightly less meat – they ain’t stopping till the subsidies stop.

Firewire was phenomenal for external hard drives. The speed was almost as fast as the drives so you were rarely limited by the port.
