Anything you don't already know is not interesting. About me, I mean. Not in general. Geez. [he/him]

@seagl @seagl If that boxy little black thing has a rectangular "Purism" logo on it, then it's mine ... oops.

@bensherman I am so hip, I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@WidsithAtopos @D8Summit @FitzzWilliam Salmon, eh? Nice! You won't need to paint over him! Also, welcome back.

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@WidsithAtopos Gotta get me some of that first contact.

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@thewgallant @CSMFHT Interesting! So Socrates never responded to answers with questions, then?

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@CSMFHT Does this mean that I should go to the UK illegally, in order to ensure that I don't gain access to their "modern slavery system"?

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@bestofdyingtwit Gotta hand it to Musk. When he said comedy is now legal on Twitter, he wasn't kidding!

@WidsithAtopos The kids are the only fucking thing that gives me hope these days.

@rjl20 I imagine that that sentence is a direct result of "We have to say *something* negative or else everyone will think we just cut-and-pasted the press release."

@WidsithAtopos I hear you. Hard to beat a 10sp for all-around practicality. https://t.co/KTTLrYWmaa

@WidsithAtopos @LogarHailCrom @MichaelCHsiung If you have any trouble with your deck, just let me know. I have a cassette player already plugged into my sound card.

@WidsithAtopos Doctored photo. Digitally altered. I'm no fool.

@TheArtGremblin I would have said "Hook" matches that description almost perfectly, but someone else beat me to it, so instead I'll recommend "Dissembler" by Ian MacLarty: https://t.co/U6DfChWUcg

@WidsithAtopos I honestly half expected the money to just disappear with nothing to show. (I imagine rural Americans in the 1890s felt much the same way I did when they mailed a check off to the Sears & Roebuck.)

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@WidsithAtopos I can beat that: I bought a Throwing Muses album off of a telnet site in Europe in 1994.

@Foone (And, as experienced co-workers informed me, only the most popular ones—SRCCOPY, SRCPAINT, SRCINVERT, and one or two others—were safe to use: video card drivers were rarely tested beyond those, and were usually buggy.)

[Brian Raiter @BR903]

@Foone In theory, BitBlt() supported 256 possible ways to combine the source bitmap, the destination image, and the current brush. But only 15 of those 256 combinations had actual names. To use one of the others, you had to work out the flag value by hand.
