@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyToday's rabbit hole, "the history of the pork taboo in Abrahamic religions" - and it's absolutely fascinating. Kinda makes me wonder why we eat pork today. (I won't spoil it for you)
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gy@nini Pretty much, and there's plenty of cheap filler you can add. It only has to be 12.5% pork to be described as "pork". Pork sausages have to be 42% (other non-pork sausages can be as low as 32%). Yes, I looked this up :D
And yes, Richmonds are as bad as they're allowed to make them!
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyI really need to catch up on Jetlag
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyThe Penistone-Scunthorpe Problem, Supermarket Edition... Half the good quality meat is discontinued but we've got pop-rocks ice cream and faggots!
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gySomeone just sent me an MP3 that sounded like commercial pop music, then confessed it was "AI" slop. I can't decide if that means "AI" is good enough to make commercial pop music, or commercial pop music is so bad these days that it can be easily confused for "AI". Whichever it is, it's soulless.
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyI should clear up my Discord server list sometime and leave some of them... it seems Patreon has added me to a bunch, ick.
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyStuff like this just makes me think - fine, fuck you, I'll make my own and GPL or CC-BY-NC-SA it just to spite you.
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyThere are few things more boring than a Discord full of people building a Transputer board just to have it and never use it... "it's gold it'll be worth something" "the inmos chips were not open source so nothing I make is or will be." "if you want my tools on your computer you buy me one and […]
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gymy partner says I should stop ranting on mastodon and go to bed. goodnight.
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyoh I forgot the "just go away" tier. "used the slopbot, didn't even bother giving it a writing style skill, still pretending it's your own code"
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gymy level of "impressed" in your project, in descending order: "I architected and developed it myself" "Did it with a few friends, props to X, Y and Z" "Did it with a mix of friends and used slopbot for review. Didn't let it write code." "I did the architecture but the slopbot wrote the code." […]
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gydoing something like this is a big hint that you should probably read a couple of programming and sweng books before committing to asking the slopbot to do something dumb
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gy"I have ported RISC OS to javascript with Claude" "I too have ported it the same way" stop, stop, it's already dead
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyWonder if I can get away without implementing the test instructions on the verilog transputer core yolo
@philpem.digipres.club.ap.brid.gyThis had better be worth the mortgage.
