Is there any particular hardware that you would like to have access to for testing Haiku?
I ask because I come across quite a bit of old hardware in my line of work and could keep my eyes open for anything you are wanting for physical testing.

As I'm screwing with a device trying to get wifi working, it occurs to me: Why are we still dutifully setting MAC addresses from flash rather than letting the ethernet card take a random one?
MAC addresses are the fucking Digital ID that everyone keeps railing against, the thing is written in the factory, it's logged in the DB, so it's connected to your identity when you buy the device, then it's being emitted out on any LAN you connect to.

Group can't be A and B because A and B are opposites or otherwise mutually exclusive.
This argument doesn't work because not every identifiable group is perfectly homogenous. X% of doctors can be twisted sadists even if the vast majority are excellent in every way.

Why would anyone stick with Microsoft Windows when you can't even trust localhost to work anymore? https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/16/windows_11_update_localhost/

It doesn’t have to be this way you know…and the Internet was NEVER meant to be that centralised!
Also, good to know who in crypto was ‘swimming naked’ all along…

And it turns out that there is already an itch.io user with the username "Ioncom". It seems like the person only used it as a username though and never intended to release any games, but it sucks that the username is already taken. Probably should've checked to see if the name was already taken on itch.io before making it my company name.
I could just make my itch.io username "ioncomofficial" or something like that. I'm not changing the name of my company though. I'm too prone to the suck-cost fallacy for that to happen.

"IPTV Pirates May Soon Be Named and Shamed, Italian Minister Says"
I just want everyone to know that if I were in Italy I'd be in the process of investigating how I too could become an IPTV pirate.
There is nothing shameful about "pirating" content. If you want to be ashamed of something be ashamed that your not contributing more (either via financing or exertion of effort of some kind presumably) to the production of creative and useful content and software you use and enjoy.
Just because copyright is immoral and is enforced through the use of violence that is the state doesn't mean you can't be a economic contributor to the creative and software ecosystems.
Whether it be through purchasing of t-shirts from your favorite bands, donations where such options exist, or other means. We get fan emails daily from customers purchasing our products and in doing so they too are contributing to the development of free software. It's not immoral to charge for free software. Free software is about the freedom the user gets from being able to make changes, fix bugs, and being able to redistribute said changes to others. Whether or not you can make money from it is another matter, but the reality is yes, you can. Numerous companies and thousands of individuals make fiscal contributions to free software developers and organizations every day. Much of the development is funded by companies and individuals out of self-interest. It's not even necessarily a charitable act.

@h3artbl33d I guarantee you every Linux distro has fascist retards involved, they just keep their mouths shut. I've met them everywhere. They don't just not exist; unfortunately they're smart enough to code switch and conceal their alternate online identities
so what are people gonna do when they learn the Linux kernel has a ton of code written by fascists in it? *crickets*

This shit right here is what's holding me back on a Windows port of my game. I wrote my game using an older version of SFML (only because Linux repository managers are too lazy to update them). Now, I have to install an outdated version of MinGW and/or Code::Blocks on Windows or compile SFML manually myself.
To add insult to injury, simply upgrading to the latest version of SFML would also be tedious as the latest SFML builds also break compatibility, so there would be some code changes.
I do plan on releasing my game for Windows because it would be stupid not to, but this shit is tedious. I might move away from SFML and just use SDL like a normal human being because of this.

Shocking Truth: 3 DIY Ways to Strip Apple Wax Naturally!
12 January 2025
Shocking Truth: 3 DIY Ways to Strip Apple Wax Naturally!
In today’s world of mass-produced fruits, many consumers are unaware that most apples come with a protective wax coating. While this wax helps preserve the fruit, many people prefer to remove it for health and taste reasons. Understanding how to create a homemade apple wax remover can help you enjoy cleaner, fresher fruit with minimal effort.
Understanding Apple Wax: What You Need to Know
Commercial apples are typically coated with food-grade waxes like shellac and carnauba to extend shelf life, improve appearance, and prevent moisture loss. These waxes are generally considered safe by food regulatory agencies, but they can trap pesticides and reduce the natural nutritional value of the fruit.
The primary types of wax used include:
Shellac (derived from insect secretions)
Carnauba wax (plant-based)
Synthetic food-grade waxes
Why Remove Apple Wax?
There are several compelling reasons to remove the wax from your apples:
Pesticide Reduction: Wax can trap chemical residues from pesticides, making thorough cleaning challenging.
Improved Taste: Many people report a more natural, cleaner taste after removing the wax coating.
Enhanced Nutrition: Removing the wax allows better absorption of nutrients and can improve overall fruit quality.
Effective Homemade Apple Wax Removal Methods
Method 1: Lemon Juice and Baking Soda Solution
This natural method is both effective and gentle:
Mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of baking soda in warm water
Soak apples for 2-3 minutes
Gently scrub with a clean fruit brush
Rinse thoroughly with cool water
Method 2: Vinegar Wash
White vinegar provides an excellent natural cleaning solution:
Create a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water
Submerge apples in the solution for 5 minutes
Rinse with cool water
Pat dry with a clean towel
Pro Tips for Effective Wax Removal
To maximize your wax removal process, consider these expert recommendations:
Always use room temperature or slightly warm water
Use a soft-bristled fruit brush for gentle scrubbing
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials
Rinse thoroughly to remove all cleaning solution residue
Important Considerations
While removing wax can be beneficial, it’s crucial to understand that the process might slightly reduce the apple’s shelf life. Store washed apples in the refrigerator and consume them within a few days for optimal freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is it absolutely necessary to remove apple wax?
A: Not mandatory, but recommended for those concerned about potential pesticide residues and seeking a more natural fruit experience.
Q: Can these methods be used on other fruits?
A: Yes, similar techniques can be applied to various fruits with waxy coatings, though specific methods might vary.
Final Thoughts
Creating a homemade apple wax remover is simple, cost-effective, and can significantly improve your fruit consumption experience. By using natural ingredients like lemon juice, baking soda, and vinegar, you can enjoy cleaner, fresher apples with enhanced flavor and potential health benefits.

The Connection Between Fluoride, Aluminum, Glyphosate and Your Health
Why is fluoride in your water?
Why do vaccines contain aluminum?
Why are aluminum particles sprayed in the air?
Why is glyphosate sprayed on your food?
Allow me to explain….
Fluoride in Water:
Fluoride is added to water supplies in many countries.
But did you know it helps the body absorb more aluminum, pushing it into the brain?
Aluminum in Vaccines:
Aluminum is used in many vaccines to boost the immune response.
But aluminum actually binds to neurological tissue and is more neurotoxic than mercury.
Aluminum in Chemtrails:
It’s proven that aluminum particles are being sprayed into the atmosphere.
Glyphosate and Aluminum:
Glyphosate, the herbicide in many of our food crops, also helps the body absorb more aluminum.
The Impact on the Brain:
Things like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism are neurological disorders connected to aluminum buildup in the brain.
Numbers don’t lie:
Countries with the highest rates of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and autism are also the nations that fluoridate water, vaccinate the most and use the most glyphosate.
