What did i just read
Yeah I think I'm OOTL, can someone explain?
I think the simulation is broken again.
Wait Beyonce is a blonde white woman now? Is this what they mean when they say “it’s a different kind of white?”
It's just skin tone, with the right lighting and color grading we all just look like people
0-255 was good enough for me an my grandpappy.
0-127, top bit is always 0.
i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.
The standard itself is 7-bit, since wires were deemed more valuable than endpoint logic for the teletype machines way back then. If you're running it on an 8-bit byte machine you could do it either way, although I'm not sure what the point in parity checking individual characters is. Modern software uses 0.
Damn big-endians always looking down on the rest of us.
Just like pokemon
Good ol' Alt+1``3``0.
I guess Beyonce has no love for Extended ASCII.
Compose e ’
or AltGr + ' + e I love this shortcut
She must be running out of ideas.
You've been able to do diacritical marks with ASCII for over thirty years. It's already standard. alt+0233
Yeah let's drop wide characters, it was a bad idea. Let's simplify.. also let's convert all porn back to ASCII art.
I want to join the C-hive
