Sponsor @PikaDude on GitHub Sponsors Support PikaDude's work

if you're a dev who builds software, please don't totally disregard Windows support, especially when building it in CI means "it works"

I shouldn't need to explain that Windows dominating 70% of PCs should outweigh your bias - some of us want to make software that's usable by the larger market

It can be frustrating when you give them a name as simple as "David", but they still misspell it.

mpv seems okay for video yeah but music is a bit of a joke on it lol. i'm also not a fan of the lack of a main ui for it. i'm hoping for something a bit more similar to vlc ig, thanks though

Using Discord on Windows NT 3.1 This article talks about Discord Messenger and how it was ported to Windows NT 3.1. This took a lot more time and effort than I expected.

Here is a blog post describing what I had to go through to port Discord Messenger to Windows NT 3.1!

A man with the online handle DRAMAFOX777 types on the computer, producing a video entitled "The Rise and Fall of KittyCarl5." Another man comes in the room and says "bad news, Dramafox. They found the hard drives." Dramafox runs out the room and the man takes his seat in front of his computer. This man is DRAMASTEVE83 and he begins producing a video called "The Rise and Fall of DramaFox777"

Remember what I said about how Twitter is useless for self-promotion even if you have a big following there?

There's data showing BlueSky, even with smaller user numbers, generates way more referrals than Twitter purely because it doesn't suppress links.

Stop saying you need Twitter for promotion.

β€œSimilarweb noted that Bluesky generated 38.6 million outgoing visits in November 2024, spread across a variety of news websites, while Threads generated 24.5 million referrals. However, the firm pointed out that 42% of Threads’ traffic was directing users to Instagram, not publishers’ websites.”
