My bifocal glasses. They were donated to me last year, and some fucking how, they’re a perfect match for my prescription, and have absolutely no scratches.

They were manufactured in 1988, literally 2 years before I ever got my first pair of glasses.

I didn’t exactly sign up for big ass thick bifocals, but the last prescription glasses I paid for cost me $217, are scratched to hell and back, and the frames split at the nose bridge.

They’re big, they’re ugly, but they just fucking work, even clearer than my most recent actual prescriptions.

You can’t complain when it’s free!

You Look Like You Could Use A Fuckin’ Lamp…

I’m starting to think he just likes writing his name on anything, just like he likes hearing his own voice and patting himself on the back diaper.

He probably doesn’t even read much of anything he signs.

Thanks!

Although, the first PDF link says invalid format…

Like I said, I was also studying acoustics at the time, and also writing sound card drivers.

I probably have one of the longest open bug tickets ever for VirtualBox…

My original algorithms were specifically designed to help artists perform nearly perfect color matching, based largely on text inputs. It started off as a single purpose application, but totally human driven.

The more I used and tested my own software, it taught me more than I even expected to learn about photochromatic processing. More than I even designed it to do even.

I was already also studying acoustics around the same time. I saw how well my chromatography software was working, and just barely started adapting the algorithm to process acoustics.

I quickly realized that I didn’t have nearly enough RAM or processing power to do anything meaningful in any sensible timeframe, but I could already see that it was possible to go as far as changing one’s voice with the voice print of someone else.

I announced that with online friends at the time, around 2017, and nobody believed me. Probably because I couldn’t quite prove it yet. But I knew it.

The more I thought about that, the more I thought it would only contribute to fraud. So, I just fucking stopped, slammed on development brakes, and said fuckit.

I don’t want to be part of the problem, I just wanted to design a better color filter/processor system.

I was actually developing a crude form of AI, for graphics processing, between 2009 to 2017.

When I realized that my algorithms could be repurposed to the point of cloning someone else’s voice, if I just had enough RAM and processing time, nobody believed me back in 2017.

I will never touch AI again.

Hey, there actually are NTFS drivers out there for MS-DOS/Win3.11, I’ve used that for data recovery when neither Windows NT nor Linux could access the partition.

Very little surprises me anymore, and I have no idea what all tricks FreeDOS and ReactOS have up their sleeves.

Gotcha, no worries 👍

Future goal, emulate Linux (any version that might work) under KolibriOS.

I think that’s actually doable, to some extent… 🤷‍♂️

Looks like someone conveniently missed everything about Project 2025…

I’m not even sure if this is satire or not, but is that even doable? I mean I’ve tested both FreeDOS and ReactOS before, but do they play well together somehow?

Side note, I’ve also tried KolibriOS before, amazing project for its tiny size, still have it on physical floppy disk right now even.

You’re right, we also need a CP/M terminal running on top of the Minix kernel…

We need a healthy mashup OS between TinyCore, KolibriOS, ReactOS, and TempleOS, then I’ll be happy.

Especially the shortage of diapers in Donnie’s size…

They’ll just rebrand coal as ‘Natural American Fuel Pellets’ and double the price of energy.

And of course, FUCK SPEZ

I thought it was a pay-per-smile subscription…

Too bad that happiness is banned in the USA…

You know how people sometimes like to write their phone number on public bathroom walls, looking for a ‘good time’?

Yeah, I’ve been tempted to go around and write this number on bathroom walls, wonder how many people might actually fall for it…

I wish he’d just resign, and take Vance with him while he’s at it…
