They would rather work for Walmart corp for 14/hr and get their allotted 15 minute break, than support small businesses. Because guess who can pay compliance costs - WALMART. And because they can pay for compliance, they drive wages down. If it were truly free market, retail wages would probably be closer to double what they are.

Microsoft Excel

@bonkmaykr@canithesis.org pointless complexity aside, the real problems are that this only works with debugging binaries and only if their symbols are in Visual Studio format, and Windows doesn't even remember where the loaded DLLs are from. allegedly. MSDN didn't exactly give me a single concise page or two explaining this. anyway, it can't print nameless addresses like glibc.

the entire point of getting a backtrace at runtime and not from your debugger directly, is to get information about a crash in a customer's stripped binary. this code is entirely useless for that purpose. i am sure there is another way to use CaptureStackBacktrace to get output similar to GNU's backtrace_symbols but it isn't documented anywhere I could find.

okay. i want to send an ICBM to redmond

Ask and ye shall receive?

Age verification going too far?

NEW PODCAST! 🎙💾📲

Independent technologist and writer Gabe of Libre Solutions Network discusses the dangers of AI and the erosion of human autonomy in a rapidly consolidating digital landscape. Gabe argues that modern AI is less about technological progress and more about a system of total domination that replaces human ingenuity with automated surveillance and corporate dependency. He examines how this shift affects labor, ethics, and cultural heritage, noting that the convenience of the cloud often comes at the cost of individual privacy and local control. Furthermore, the dialogue addresses transhumanist ideologies and the push for digital immortality, which he suggests may be used to justify the devaluation of physical human life. Ultimately, Gabe advocates for internet freedom and the rebuilding of human-centric systems to resist a future defined by technocratic feudalism. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2026/05/11/gabe-ai-cyberspace-borg

Power generation idea for arctic settlement:

Some type of a (potentially hydrogen filled) kite that flies up into the atmosphere and is pulled by the wind.

Somehow it pulls more at certain times and less at others. Video shows it achieving this by doing figure-8s, but it could also be designed to have "flapping wings" which cause it to pull more at certain times and less at others, in a cycle.

Winch on the ground lets out line and takes it back, synchronizing with the cyclical loading of the kite, therefore generating net power.

Kite is relatively simple, so if it gets destroyed in a storm or freak incident, it's realistic to have spares on hand.

The cable is one of the most complex parts, but when it finally ages out and breaks, you lose the kite and launch another one with new cable.

Do you know of any projects, groups or communities that care about digital sustainability, keeping older computers working, maintaining legacy software, getting off the merry-go-round of continually needing to have the latest or just wanting to support the GNU fundamental freedom of being able to study and change a program in source code form? If so, please share links or info.

Happy sweet 16 Reimu! I'm a bit late, but, happy birthday! :D

Working on this again while thinking about what to render next... even if this stage never gets finished, it's giving me some ideas for things I can do with the Alpha parameter.
