dole··on MUNI Heritage Weekend in San Francisco
Hell, I'd shop them around to transit authorities. Gorgeous photos, awesome hardware and processing techniques that went into them.
dole··on Playa Phone
Burning man livestream here, still early and setting up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BgytKvsORM

Page says it's on "Chomolungma" but it's "Ceiba" on the maps, just in case you can spot the phone on the stream.

·on Dad’s Custom Atari Peripherals
Relatable path here. Fairchild Channel F, the cat chased the pixels around the Bell and Howell console screen. Hid the 2600 box in the garage rafters from my mom to cover up the purchase. My dad made an 2600 controller using big industrial panel pushbuttons for the directions and a sturdy red clicky button, trying for a good Defender controller but panel buttons were just not meant for fast gameplay.
dole··on Deus Ex creator Warren Spector is retiring from game development
I read the Paranoia, Send in the Clones and numerous other supplements back-to-back as a kid and Warren Spector became a notable name for me. Writing and humor felt a lot like Douglas Adams lite, and made the prospects of living in a underground apocalyptic dystopia really hilarious. As someone mentioned, his CV is stellar; you could almost compare him to Kubrick or maybe Guillermo del Toro at the least.
dole··on Quake Shareware, a CD-ROM just a little too full
People were still replacing their 14.4k modems with 28.8s in 1996. I remember seeing the Quake 15 x 1.44 zips on local BBSes, which would've taken at least 3.5 hours over a perfect 14.4 connection so definitely a daunting phone line tie-up for the average kid (I had the CD.)
dole··on Count Binface receives over a quarter of votes in Clacton by-election
Gary Coleman and Mary Carey both ran. There's always Vermin Supreme.

dole··on Show HN: iPhone app takes simultaneous images from 2 lenses, fuses into 1 photo
Some of the photosynthesis zoom-ins have overlays take a bit longer to load at higher resolution.
dole··on More than 10 firms pay up to $100k a month for access to Truth Social posts
I remember when we gave a shit about "emoluments."
dole··on The Kids' Guide to Piracy
This. VPNs are an absolute necessity for torrenting pirate content from public trackers, otherwise you're sure to get a Cease & Desist letter mailed to the house and risk getting your parents' internet disconnected. I know it's a "kids guide," but more emphasis should be made on VPN basics, such as binding the VPN port to torrent client.
dole··on Microsoft Comic Chat is now open source
Rands is a programmer/PM IRL: https://randsinrepose.com/
dole··on BMW iX5 Blows Away the Competition with 460-KW Charging, 435-Mile Range
It's not like they're manji headlights
dole··on Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball
Suggestion to make the Upcoming Games tiles fade out as a group or rotate and show games past the initial five of the day. Also, team W-L records where pertinent and real estate might allow?

One thing that stuck with me is the font rendering of the flashing "Mid 5th" screen banner on the game field view, was displayed as Helvetica/Arial vs one of the in-game fonts.

dole··on TinyWind: A pixel pirate sailing game with real wind physics (380k+ kms sailed)
Be interesting to see enemies take friendly fire, and possibly suppress fire if the shot on the player isn't clear?
dole··on CrankGPT
Addressed in the video, but now looks like we've got three problems.
dole··on Life saving / first aid posters
i try not to recommend reddit often, but r/coolguides has lots of handy one-page references.
dole··on Which sparkling water is the best?
You can leave a bottle of Topo open room temperature for two days and by some magic it'll still be surprisingly carbonated.

dole··on McDonald's is a premium product now (2024)
US McValue meals (my local location, ymmv): $6 for a McDouble, small Fries, 4 nuggets and small drink. $5 for a McChicken, small fries, 4 nuggets and small drink. $2.50 for a McDouble itself.
dole··on I built "Middle Class Museum", a tour of things that used to be affordable
Swolvolution. Expecting things to be bigger but in strange places and not necessarily for the better
dole··on German Dog Commands
Nah, those were a classy touch. IIRC it was some Thomas Kinkade-lookin' bullshit.
dole··on German Dog Commands
Definitely a trip back in time, I did a website almost exactly the same for Bernese mountain dogs except without the flame background.

dole··on The dangers of California's legislation to censor 3D printing
Killers are going to kill. Guns don't democratize it, just makes it easier. Maybe at best YOU could kill one or two:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/16/china/china-stabbing-yixing-c... (8 stabbed to death) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenpeng_Village_Primary_Schoo... (1 killed, 24 injured)

So they should stop you from 3d-printing knives too.

dole··on Identify a London Underground Line just by listening to it
As a Yank, first thought that came to mind was using geolocation by mains hum because you can.
dole··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
You’re still an engineer. Knowing the right places to click in an esoteric app is like knowing where to hit the boiler with a hammer to get it working again.
dole··on You Bought Zuck's Ray-Bans. Now Someone in Nairobi Is Watching You Poop
ceilingcat has entered the chat
dole··on Shatner is making an album with 35 metal icons
I honestly couldn’t stop thinking about it. People around here eat plates of pasta in cars and throw them out the window.
