We are definitely in midst of a Putin-esque "flood the zone with shit," campaign.

Daily reminder America is a sad joke globally to everyone except Nazis and Nazi adjacent white politicians
@hacks4pancakes I was in a Chicago hotel last night, and a guy had just got in after an overnight flight and meetings all day.
He was talking to the bartender and relayed some effect he was seeing at home. In the large and busy hotel bar he loudly yelled, “I’m sorry man but F T.”
Folks looked, but I didn’t see a single expression of objection on any face in the room. I’m not sure it would have gone over the same way in 2017 and I derive the slightest hope from that.

Unfortunately the clowns are armed with chainsaws, so there is a worried tone to the dismissive laughter -
There are taxi drivers in Singapore mocking this
@hacks4pancakes The thing that gets me is that when you cross your fingers, for a lot of people your dominant hand's thumb is going to be on top. There's a picture with the shoes where everyone has their hands crossed like Trump does, left hands fingers on top with thumbs playing thumb war. I can't help but imagine that feels incredibly uncomfortable in that instance, because when I cross my fingers with my non-dominant hands thumb on top, like, it feels super fucking weird. And they're all doing it presumably to appease him.

@hacks4pancakes It feels like a DEATH OF STALIN callback.

Omg is this suppressed in America? The world is howling.

personally, i'm more weeping than howling...

@hacks4pancakes foot guys are so fucking weird...

@hacks4pancakes Just found out about it yesterday, and it's in the WSJ, so no, I wouldn't say it's suppressed. It's just one more clownshow thing that outrage fatigue is making people skim over it.
I hate what a joke we are now.

@hacks4pancakes I was just telling my partner about this last night.
I'm just glad I don't have to dress up to go out anywhere. My good dress shoes are that brand.
@shawnhooper @hacks4pancakes are they at least comfortable (when they fit)? I've never been able to find comfortable dress shoes. Or any comfortable dress clothing, for that matter.

@kboyd @hacks4pancakes They are. I wore them daily for years, on a tip from my Dad.
I'm so glad I don't have to wear a suit to work anymore.

@hacks4pancakes No, we know about it and it is getting mocked. Not inside the right wing bubble, of course

@hacks4pancakes I’m sorry, what are they not telling us?

@aeva but imagine if you had nvidia generate enhanced frames for you. You could sacrifice significant amounts of frame time to have them yassify your car for you at 240 totally real hz!
-
if i ever finish my racing game, the pitch practically writes itself. 4k 120 hz clean frames on most hardware, no bullshit.

Zip-Drive Emulator Puts Big Disks Back on LPT
Iomega’s Zip drives filled an interesting niche back in the 1990s. A magnetic disk that was physically floppy-sized, but much larger in capacity– starting at 100 MB, and reaching 750 MB by the end–they never quite had universal appeal, but never really went away until flash memory chased them out of the marketplace in the early 2000s. While not everyone is going to miss them, some of us still think it’s a better form factor than having a USB stick awkwardly protruding from a computer, or microSD cards that are barely large enough to see with the naked eye. [Minh Danh] is one of those who still has affection for Zip drives, and when his parallel port Zip 100 drive started to give up the ghost last year, he decided to do something bold: reverse engineer it, and produce an emulator. First software, and then in hardware.
It’s not the prettiest-ever prototype, but lots of great things start with a mess of wires.
The first was to create a virtual zip drive that could run on a virtual machine and be accessed with DOS or Windows up to XP. The next task was to move that functionality onto a microcontroller to create something like a GoTek floppy emulator for LPT Zip drives that he’s calling the LPT100. Yes, Zip drives were built for APATI, SCSI, FireWire and USB, too, but [Minh]’s was on the parallel port and that’s what he wanted to replace, so the LPT interface is what set out to recreate.It works, too, though took more guts than was expected– the 8-bit PIC18F4680 he started with just wasn’t up to the task. He moved up to a 32-bit PIC, the PIC32MZ2048EFH144 to be specific, which proved adaquate when testing with his Book 8088, a new DOS PC from 2023. Iomega’s official driver won’t run on an 8088, but the PALMZIP utility does and was able to transfer files, though only at the slow nibble rate due to limitations with the Book8088’s LPT hardware. Watch it in action below.
Alas, moving up to the Pocket386, it seemed the PIC just could not keep up. [Minh] says he’s thinking of moving to the faster Teensy 4.1, which sounds like a good idea. Considering the Teensy can be configured to serve as a drop-in replacement for a 68000, bit-banging the bus at 7.8 MHz, we’d think it should handle anything a parallel port can throw at it.
Thanks to [Minh Danh] for the tip!
