This is the second time in my life I've heard the word 'codec'.
The first time was in university when one of my online friends was super into this one anime series and thought I should watch it. Please note, this was in the days when if you wanted non-dubbed anime, you needed a source of fan subs. So she made me a copy of the fan subs she'd gotten and sent it to me with the promise that 'it had the right divex codec." Or was it divix? Divx? No clue and it doesn't really matter because I didn't know what the hell it was.
We'll go with divex, since I can't remember and have never heard of it since. The important part is that having no idea what she was talking about I went "Um, okay, thanks" and tried to play the DVD on my computer.
It didn't work.
When I told her I couldn't get it to play, she was absolutely confounded because she knew she'd given me the right codec, so she tried again. And again. I finally just gave up.
Ages later, after I'd lost any and all interest in the anime in question, something occurred to me. I hit...I think Hotbot was still THE Search Engine at the time...and sure enough.
With all of her fretting over getting me the right divex codec, she'd never once thought to make sure I had a divex player.
I still don't have the first idea what a codec is, and probably wouldn't know what to do with one if I did.
one piece of Computer Guy contrairianism i can't stand is "webp isn't actually bad, the programs you use just aren't equipped to support it!" okay well. soudns like for all intents and purposes its bad then innit
#computer speak#programming speak#computer nerds#i am not one#do not assume everyone has the same specialty as you#or understands a damn thing you're saying#'cause most people don't#don't know what webp is either

Every now and then I remember that Malbolge exists and I get to spend the better part of an hour cry-laughing at the world’s worst programming language
already starting off strong, but it gets worse
Wow! Sounds easy and intuitive to use! What’s the “crazy operation” you ask? We’ll get to that later. For now let’s see what a program in this language looks like :)
Thanks! I hate it!
it’s so difficult to work with that the first program was written by another brute force search program
mmmmm delicious base-3 arithmetic, what could go wrong? (For reference, that means this program forgoes the usual “0/1″ values of binary code in favor of a much more fun “0/1/2″ set of values)
ah.
Here’s how the language actually figures out what to do. It’s got 8 “simple” commands that can be executed easily by *checks notes* running the code itself through the modulo operation and taking the result.
As a bonus, on top of all that every single character in your code will now alter what every single other character does. So I hope you’re alright with cracking a cipher every time you add a new letter to your program!
oh god oh fuck.
behold, Malbolge’s primary arithmetic operation and what you’ll be using for most of your math while programming with it :)
This looks specifically designed to be the least logical math operation you could make, and knowing what the rest of Malbolge is I’d wager that’s precisely what happened. I never want to ever use this and it’s my favorite thing I’ve ever seen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbolge
Anyways here’s the wiki page if you wanna read through it more deeply, I’m gonna sit here holding in my laughter staring at the hello world program again.

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is#a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good#personal#“this war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting drafted” idk how to explain to you that we should be angry#that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign#also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg#i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant#parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice#this is getting into convos of “what 2nd gen kids owe their parents” which is different for everyone but. yeah#i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as “wealthy” and “privileged” and “elite” when it's such a blatant li#i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive#so they have to find temporary housing around the area#last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis#during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences#and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first#reaction is “HAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!”#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

So I went ahead and cleaned up the audio for the Beatles 1960 demo I Don't Know (Johnny, Johnny). I know very little about audio mixing and all that, so it definitely isn't perfect, but in my opinion it's significantly more listenable and comprehensible than it was before.

Little pencil doodles of this post since @pigeonstab’s tags got me inspired again
And a bonus one
#UTDR#UTMV#My Art#Cross Sans#Killer Sans#Kross ship#Too lazy to get my tablet and open my art program so it's pencil scribbles tonight lads#I just love the image of them so comfy cosy in bed#All tucked in and snuggled up together#God I wish that were me#I don't wanna cuddle I get too warm for that I just wanna sleep and not get up for work#After the last picture is Cross flailing and tripping out of bed and running to get dressed#Sweating and panicking that he's gonna be in trouble for being late#Even tho there's nothing to do and Nightmare has probably not even noticed#This guy needs 50 straight hours of sleep to start unwinding#Anyway speaking of sleep goodniiiiight <3

Don't understand why more people don't appreciate programming as a creative artform. It's one of my most self-indulgent admissions but programming an environment is like playing at being a God to me. I get to create swarms of little attendant automatons like biblical angels that contribute to the mechanism of the bespoke ecosystem I am crafting, and they all turn together in perfect harmony. If I could find a way to represent the interaction of data structures visually I could put this shit in a museum as a whirling sculpture that plays its own hand-shaped swarm ecology.

This is not art related, but it is Important, and I feel like y'all need to hear about it.
I found a way to get assistance with my Internet Bills.
Bills are really treacherous for me right now, as I imagine that they are for many of you as well. So I started reaching out to all the places where I have bills to see if the companies have any emergency assistance available for hardship situations.
I reached out to my Internet Provider (who will remain nameless). After spending HOURS on the phone, getting the run around (aka: agents trying to upsell products, having disconnections, and being treated really poorly) i FINALLY got someone who treated me like a human being, and he told me about the Affordable Connectivity Program!
The Affordable Connectivity Program
This is a federal assistance program in the US and it GIVES YOU MONEY TO HELP PAY FOR INTERNET. I want to scream about it here because Enrollments End February 7, 2024 and I didn't even know this program was a Thing!
Apply Before February 7, 2024!
The application is VERY easy. I completed it is a few minutes, and I got accepted the next day. It will take $30 off my internet bill every month.
So, if you are low income in the US, please please *please* check this out!!

Gonna start making another DPXDC writing challenge where I’ll make a bingo card generation that contains super popular tropes in the fandom.
The goal is to not write said tropes. Bingo of tropes to avoid and even more of a bonus if you do a blackout board on the tropes you didn’t do.
Reply with the most common DPxDC tropes ya can think of so I can add them to the Blackout Bingo List :)
#mostly doing lack of tropes bc doing ONLY tropes would be hard as a lot of tropes conflict with each other and would be hard to program#or find a program that’ll do what I want (like having Demon Twins and every /Batfam pairing under the sun would be hard to manage#bones speaks#dpxdc#it’ll be blackout bingo where you’re blacking out all popular tropes#then I’m gonna do one where it’s blackout bingo board of all popular tropes.. that’ll be a bit harder as some tropes conflict XD#this is to put folks in a Situation to try to make new potential tropes or ideas they never would have thought of otherwise!#if ya put folks in a box that’s what spurr people to the most creativity or whatever the qoute is#maybe it can be one fic at a time too? idk I’m working it out and rn this is just a thought

I've been pulled into a work project where I'm the token senior engineer in a group of principals and partners.
And I'm on a sort of two-man engineering team with the notable partner in the group--which is a title they only give out when an existing partner dies (or retires I guess so I've heard)--and every day the whole thing feels like a comedy bit between cartoon scientist and assistant.
Like scientist whips up 10 whiteboards worth of schematics and calculations out of absolute nothing and I'm sitting there on the little three-legged stool sweating following along and go "but, but boss, if yous put the fuselage in series with the flux capacitor on line 3 of whiteboard 5, aint that gonna blow things sky high? It oughta be in parallel aint it?" At which point the scientist stares at the board and brushes his mustache with his hand and goes "by GOD assistant you are right! GENIUS work, assistant! this is why we have you!"
Anyway it's going pretty well
#chrissy speaks#im joking about the fuselage stuff this is. this is programming. these are programming things#we're exploding nothing#but it's like that

i’m so broken. i think someone should get to benefit from it.
like i don’t feel safe in a healthy relationship. i want to be scared. i want you to make me dependent on you. i want you to be jealous and controlling. i want you to punish me when i do something wrong. i want you to hurt me when you’re upset so that you can feel better. i want you to insult me and tell me the things i like are boring or why im stupid for liking them. i want us to fight until you lose your temper. it just makes me feel loved and like home if someone loves me enough to control me and hurt me

y'all remember when book fairs used to have those "banned books" display sections that advertised books based on that fact that they had been banned in schools in the past and everyone went "haha wow, it's crazy that they banned books like this! what a wacky thing to do!" haha........ yeah....... who would even do that......
#damien.txt#honestly i would prefer to go back to ppl using it as a marketing strategy than it just. happening! in my state!#i'm so tired fr morality wars make me want to curl up in a ball & choke#yeah sure the books are indoctrinating your child. the exact same way YOU. the parent. are indoctrinating them.#sorry it's from a different viewpoint i forgot that we're all trying for a homogenized society here. land of the free and all that.#just generally speaking the shit that is getting passed in my state.... truly beyond belief.#shoutout to the diversity programs that are fully just. getting defunded! by state law! how haha funny of them.#please get me out of here i'm desperate#us politics#politics
