       Occasional reminder that Capitalism is not making a thing and selling it. Capitalism is investing the money you inherited in tools for someone else to make a thing (often driving up the cost of those tools so the maker is even less able to afford them on their own) and then selling the thing they made, collecting most of the profit from the thing they made for yourself.

       Since the Flying-type site has turned into a Lying-type site, and my account there is inaccessible/probably deleted soon, I thought I'd repost some of my favorite Pokemoments. Starting with the all-time banger: #Hatterene #Pheromosa race! My heart always fills with warmth when I see Hatterene do her best! With the little dust cloud! 😭

       @xvln You can look at the SMART data for your hard drive/SSD using an appropriate tool for your OS and maybe do a couple rounds in memtest if you're really concerned. If those don't turn up any issues then it's probably an SCP (Stochastic Computer Phhhbbbtttt) 😌

       After a six-month hiatus, I finally managed to bring out something I wasn't sure was possible: a kinda workable release of #minput_hop  (a play on Input Leap, if you didn't notice).This will let you use a #Windows95 / #Windows3 PC as a client for your #Synergy / #Barrier / #InputLeap server. In theory. I only really tested with Barrier and a VM so far, so maybe it's totally broken!But I figured it I didn't cut a release this weekend, it wouldn't happen for long. 😌 https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop/releases/tag/0.24.1

       Check out this beautiful work by @unuseti, graciously bringing one of my compulsive thoughts of Imp-mode Midna and Hatterene interacting with their prehensile hair-hands to life! I love this to bits! The energy and personality really exceeded what I even knew I was looking for!I highly recommend their services, if you're looking to get a commission done: https://ko-fi.com/1414codeforge/commissions 😌#Pokemon #Hatterene #Zelda #Midna #TwilightPrincess

       So I managed to sit down and get #opengl working on #vb4 while watching a video essay in the background on the brutality of capital punishment by a guy who looked like Matt Walsh's good twin.Turns out the problem setting the context was pixel format nonsense from GDI. Once I figured that out (and that a 32-bit float in Visual Basic 4 is called a Single), marshaling the calls from Opengl32.dll was simple.I'm actually impressed! Non-flickery and even the controls sit over it! What fun.

       Thank you again for the help from @cvtsi2sd on undocumented Windows 3.x input functions, without whom this likely wouldn't have happened!

       I've been using #minput_hop on my 486 with Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock 3 and... with the limitations what they are, it works as well as can be expected (or better, depending on how pessimist- I mean realistic you are)!

       New icon time! Fus ro *squeak-jingle*! This is another masterwork by @unuseti. I commissioned her via https://ko-fi.com/1414codeforge/ and I wholeheartedly recommend others do the same! 😌I'm pretty jazzed about this, to put it mildly. 😌

       Some improvements, but I just can't seem to get away from every few launches having a NULL hRC return from wglCreateContext. Seems to happen almost 100% of the time from a compiled EXE.Source code available so everyone can learn and become #vb4 champions: https://github.com/indigoparadox/vb4gl

       @spacegeck I'm not familiar with the problem, but is the problem with using a guy's name that the guy is usually incredibly racist/sexist by modern standards? I don't know Bortle or Richter's politics, but IIRC that was the issue with the Charlotte's Webb telescope.
