Friendly reminder that I don't really use this place anymore. Besides the network on my pinned post, I now have an account on the "azure heaven" platform too (handle: fincs), although my primary network continues to be that of my pinned post.

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

I recently saw an IBM presentation on how AI will help eliminate COBOL once and for all. Basically, they are trying to sell a tool that uses their WatsonX cloud service to convert COBOL to Java with the help of the current buzzword named generative AI. Let me tell you, COBOL has outlasted most of the tech that was invented since 1965 and I think it will outlast generative AI, too.

Wii/Gamecube SDL2 and opengx now with weak linking to prevent bloating apps not using GL features.

Ryujinx, a Nintendo Switch emulator, has ceased development. The lead developer was pressured by Nintendo of America into shutting down the project.

All downloads and the GitHub repositories have been removed.

Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly.

Spent past two weeks reverse-engineering the N3DS's QTM module responsible for handling Super-Stable 3D, head tracking and managing the parallax barrier.

[fincs🐈 @fincsdev]

To anyone interested in homebrew for Nintendo consoles: devkitPro is currently in need of support to stay alive and continue to make cool things happen (including *very* exciting stuff I'm personally involved with). If you can, please have a look at this: https://t.co/BCPVisQdvz
