i wouldn't mind it so much if these were our robot overlords

"FOSS isn't incompatible with commerce" is true, but it usually comes out of the lips of people who aren't running a business

one of the things i like about the blockchain space is how everyone's onboard with FOSS there, but they're not afraid of commerce. it seems less one-sided and truer to how the world actually works.

"yeah, we like to share source code, but what if we made money on it too?"

hm, so, the way Solidity/EVM contracts are designed, you can define an event handler receive() for when native tokens are received, but you can't define an event handler for receiving ERC20 tokens, which are themselves smart contracts.

when you "send" ERC20 tokens to an address (a wallet or contract), what you're really doing is telling the smart contract that handles the token to change its internal state to reflect a transfer of balances.

but if you're making a smart contract that handles third-party tokens, there's no standard interface for being notified of that.

which leads me to wonder how you are supposed to update the internal balance. you need an event for that.

when you misread "your package is being delivered" as "your panic is being delivered"

@thatguyoverthere @Steveg58 this is what happens when processing power gets TOO cheap.

there are probably some VERY overpowered bathroom scales out there right now, because putting an ARM chip in them is so cheap.

is it normal to call them GPUs instead of video cards? this is like calling a computer a "CPU"...

@Steveg58 i mean, this is a GPU:

@Steveg58 but how often do you buy the chip itself as a separate part in a mainframe? if you're always buying the CPU on some card, i can see why you'd just call the whole thing a CPU.

@Steveg58 that's a fairly uncommon way of defining "CPU" in the rest of the industry, i think. you'd get a lot of people calling you flat out wrong for that.

@Steveg58 there is a formal definition of a CPU, but that's narrow enough that it arguably excludes things often found on modern CPU chips, such as cache memory. older microcomputer CPUs fit the definition more neatly since they were more stripped down, and i think that understanding of the CPU equalling a chip has stuck, because it used to be fairly accurate to call something like a Motorola 68000 a "CPU", whereas a modern desktop CPU can approach being a SoC at times.

i think i'm hitting the same problem with caffeine as with alcohol: it was nice at first but then it made things worse. i always need so damned much of things for them to do anything for me, but this also means more side effects and developing a tolerance faster.

with any medication, drug or intoxicant i put in my body, it doesn't quite work well enough unless i take too much of it, and at that point, it starts becoming unhealthy. there isn't much of a "therapeutic window" there.

@thecoopsters this causes alcoholism lol

@thecoopsters i got wasted 3 times a week for 3 years. i recently quit doing that.

i'd email people to let them know their spam filter ate their registration email for berserker.town, but it would probably get eaten by the spam filter too, seeing as it would be coming from the same email server...

@Zergling_man i actually want people to succeed in signing up. if i didn't want people to use my service, why would i run it?

@Zergling_man @Hyolobrika @cjd @silverpill @jeffcliff tfw when a long time follower doesn't recommend berserker.town 🥲
