Not only am I having trouble with sound on Linux, it’s with Pipewire! The one that’s not supposed to have problems!
(To be fair, it’s an issue with AirPods over Bluetooth, so not exactly normal use)
Fedi, mobilize! :P

"The average user easily obliges and installs an app when a random, suspicious-looking website asks them to. However, they resist installing Element, Signal, and other secure messaging applications after half an hour of their trusted friend or member explaining why it's a […]
@TrackerRoo how are you supposed to scan a QR code from a text???? lmao
We've reached a point where I'm not sure who's worse about shoving AI in my face all the time: the companies and proponents, or the opponents.
@dgriffinjones Like how for the M1 the performance cores are Firestorm and the efficiency cores are Icestorm, for the M5 they presumably have 3 core designs instead of 2. I’m glad they’re using separate names for them instead of having shitty performance cores vs good performance cores or […]
@dgriffinjones Presumably, “super”, “performance”, and “efficiency” refer to 3 different core designs within a generation
ya know when I first cracked my eggshell, I thought there weren't many signs when I was young

refusing to use LLMs: not purity culture
wanting to disenfranchise and dehumanize everyone who’s ever used an LLM for any reason: yes purity culture, jesus christ you’re one missed coffee from doing a terrorism
@fluffy Make sure you do the dance quickly, before Cloudflare realizes the nameservers are different. If you change nameservers, your zone will deactivate after a certain amount of time. (unfortunately I don’t know exactly how long)
It might be easier to get a cert by using the DNS challenge […]
No woman in a burqa (or a hijab or a burkini) has ever done me any harm. But I was sacked (without explanation) by a man in a suit. Men in suits missold me pensions and endowments, costing me thousands of pounds. A man in a suit led us on a disastrous and illegal war. Men in suits led the banks and crashed the world economy. Other men in suits then increased the misery to millions through austerity. If we are to start telling people what to wear, maybe we should ban suits. Henry Steward, London.
Watch out for men in suits. They are the worst kind!

Umm...ok...I think I can see why they did that, but lets read further...

One of the shops I wandered into is an Oaxacan goods shop and they had a whole section of dubious herbal remedies. One of them seems to have been packaged by someone who also thinks it’s dubious.
discourse.gnome.org/t/anime-girl-on-gnome-gi... this entire thread is giving me an aneurysm

@cadey the downside of the dumb protocol is that you need to regenerate an index on any changes, but a post-receive hook should be able to do that just fine
@cadey with the smart protocol yes, but maybe there’s some way to configure using the dumb protocol for pulls but the smart protocol for pushes
@cadey ah, but pushes don’t work. Perhaps some clever nginx config could detect pushes and only call CGI on authenticated pushes?
@cadey git also supports a “dumb” protocol that AFAIK doesn’t require a special server
also I've had like 3 coworkers get a new job recently, guess tech hiring is ramping back up?
nature is healing, youtubers are getting sponsored by code bootcamps
Okay… after trying one, the Apple Vision Pro is super impressive. If I can find one used for a good price I’ll probably pick it up.

First proper ski day of the season! Resting in the lounge rn, gonna head back out once my legs are less angry with me. As a beginner it’s tough relearning things I first learned last season, but it’s slowly coming back to me #skiing #mtsunapee #garmin
Friend: The only reason I downloaded Ghidra was to patch out the license check for IDA Pro
