@requiem That's another thing, both sides think that the other is trying to do as much damage to the country as possible. Both sides think they'll riot if they lose. Both sides think the other is going to completely destroy the country if they win. The rhetoric has gotten completely overheated during this election. You kind of have to wonder if we're not getting another divisive propaganda blitz this time like the one in 2016 with the Russian bots, but from China as well.
@fribbledom Depends on the definition of real. Real to me was my Fidonet Point software that I wrote in the 90's. I got it to where it could connect, download messages, upload messages, toss them into a JAM database, then read and reply to them. I only ever gave it to one person because it wasn't good enough. The next real one would have probably been the classroom scheduling app that the biology department at the college used. My first two real apps were both written in Pascal.
Another day, another instance of everyone I follow on mastodon.technology talking politics, and everyone on mastodon.social talking technology.
@deshipu @trickster I usually refer to these where the byte order and word order are different as Confused Endian. Seems to be common on industrial control systems.
@aninouto Yeah, that's the one who graduated and went off to college a couple years before. But her dog kept going to the high school.
@aninouto It's cool now that she's going to run into the girl who helped her out the first year.
@Moon While it's a welcome news, Bee is merely back on Twitter. It never went anywhere at the open Internet, unlike e.g. Daily Stormer. Anyone with an RSS reader could get the same thing without a dependency on Twitter.
I can't believe they cancelled the 42113 lego set. My son has been looking forward to assembling that thing for months now. Absolutely ridiculous. I guess I'm going to have to piece the set together from bricklink so he can build it from bootleg instructions.

@anime That is a really fantastic manga, thanks for sharing it. It's like the 1632 Assiti Shards idea as put into manga form.
Just as 1984 was not meant to be a Howto guide, no matter how much the political correctness crowd wants it to be, http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30142 Little Brother is also not meant to be a howto guide, no matter how much the DHS is trying to make it one in Portland.
