Very sad that Bryn the puppy has had to move to a new home to a variety of complicated reasons I don't really want to go into.
He was only here for a few months, january feels far off but isnt.
That's still nearly 200 mornings together, though. that sort of stuff imprints. I hate how the cute fluffy things get into your heart. I am sad this evening.

Second morning without the dog. I know it'll get better, but until it does, it utterly sucks. I never imagined that after only a few short months it'd bother me like this.

After many years away from the stage, I am back! It looks like I’m accepted to give a talk at the Matrix Conference (2024.matrix.org/) to present ✨ native simplified sliding sync ✨: how it differs from the first version of sliding sync (an experimental project implemented inside a proxy), how we’ve implemented it inside the Matrix Rust SDK etc. Gonna be fun!

Genuinely curious about what the Fediverse thinks about this specific issue.

Do you think it’s important to have a free desktop (and mobile) environment, and if yes why?

Myślałam, że nanoboty w szczepionkach mRNA to już przebrzmiały temat, ale nie - dostaliśmy właśnie pytanie, czy zajmiemy się sprawą, bo "sieją mac adressami po bluetooth" 🤡
Niezatwierdzony komentarz w panelu redakcyjnym z3s o następującej treści: Witam. Zajmiecie się tematem nanobotów, które sieją mac adressami po bluetooth? Niestety nie mam takich umiejętności. Max to przestawienie bluetooth w tryb monitora. Naprawdę ludzie zaszczepieni rozgłaszają swój mac adress, ale nikt się tym nie zajmuje. Na smartfonie z andoridem 9 nie widział, ale na linuxie po przestawieniu bluetooth w tryb monitor przeżywa się szok. https://[...]/grafenowe-nanoboty-w-preparatach-pfizer-a-zasilane-przez-5g/ https://[...]/pfizer-i-izrael-pracowaly-nad-preparatami-7-lat-przed-pandemia/

Goodness. I just need to fill my house with speakers. So when I'm in the shower, I can listen to my books. When I'm in bed, I can listen to my books. When I'm eating, I can listen to my books. When I'm leaving to go to work, I can listen to the last few words of my books. And then I need one in my head so I can always be listening to my books. And when I'm dreaming, lol, I can still follow the plot of my books.

@jmd2000 re the safely remove hardware thing, you can put this in a shortcut which you can then either run from your desktop, any other folder, stick in your user directory to access from run or add a hotkey to. Mine is in my userfolder called remove so I just windows r, remove, enter.
You make a shortcut to
%SystemRoot%\System32\RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

Humans first set foot on the Moon #OTD in 1969.
Color photo of the Apollo 11 Command and Service Module, taken from from the Landing Module, after undocking. The top of the module is a silver cone, seen nearly head on, attached to a white cylinder. The lunar surface – a yellowish gray, with craters – is in the background.
Color photo of an astronaut descending the ladder from the LM. He is wearing a puffy white suit with a large, rectangular backpack. Parts of the LM are covered in a copper-colored foil.
Color photo of the astronaut standing in front of the LM. The lunar surface appears gray and dusty. There is lens flare from the sun just out of the frame of the photo. The scene is reflected in the astronauts golden-colored visor.
Color photo of a footprint in the lunar surface. It has horizontal treads from the bottom of the astronaut's boot. Despite being a color photo, the image is primarily light gray and black.

it really depends on if the hinge is up to the task.

my dell xps 13 hinge is wobbly when i touch it and it makes using it as a touch screen less pleasant.

gnome touch gestures are nice, itd be interesting to see it on a tablet.

I'd absolutely love it if someone would be willing to virtually hold my hand/walk me through a #Linux install. I really want to do it but there's so much documentation and so many varieties that I'm finding it hard to break it all down. I installed one of the Linux packages from the Microsoft Store, but I'm not even sure how to get started with that. I used to be able to work from documentation, and I still am in some situations, but in this case having someone walk me through it the first time would be super awesome.

Hey: if you're in the tiny group of folks who generated a GPG key pair a few years back on an airgapped system, copied it to a paper backup, generated & signed subkeys that you migrated to machines you use daily: today is a great day to not just check on the continued existence of your paper backup but also to test restoring it to your airgapped machine and making sure it works.

There's no quiet story in the background of infosec masto prompting this reminder. It's just a good day for it.

a good time to recreate that old USB stick with the fading tape where I wrote CRYPTO and backed up periodically but which I haven't mounted for like 4 years now.

good lord. I pulled a microSD card out of a Raspi inside an IoT product and it appears they had some developer use a raspi to develop/test some software, and then they just yanked the SD card out of that machine and duped it on to all of their deployed products.

it's got .bash_history of the development process! there's git checkouts of private repos! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

Among the things that I realised, this year is that I need to try to find more time to organise myself among some groups around the place where I live.

It is cool to be an activist in Spain, doing things in Spanish like texts or videos or whatever. But I need to be more involved within the communities I am surrounded by.

I tried to find some affinity groups between January and May but my mental health pushed me back last year and I've been recovering since then.

So, just in case there are people on the fediverse to whom it can reach:
I'm Andrew, a they/them person from Spain currently based in Cymru/Wales or, in other words, the Aberystwyth area.

I am interested in queer theories, intersectional feminism and anarchy communism.

I really would like to meet people with similar interests, but I am not really good at socialising. ❤ kisses and hugs.

A frustrating part of bylaw #3 discussion is that a larger part of the discussion wasn’t about the bylaw, but a relitigation of whether the Python community should have an enforced CoC and whether it should be cool to call women sluts because there was a hilarious SNL skit in the 1970s.

It feels like it should be obvious, but again for those in the back: if you want a community to grow, the behavioral standards and expectations regress to the biggest common denominator. (1/8)

But you literally can’t have a growing community behaving like a dozen of dudes in an IRC channel. The solution isn’t to be a jerk to people giving their best to continue Python’s success, but simply to form smaller communities with the necessary trust and context.

I’m a different person in a private chat channel or when meeting Python friends, too! This is like the most sociology 101 ever. (4/8)

Today’s Python community is nothing like the Python community of 2014—or even 2004!—and no amount of hand-wringing and name-calling will change that. It evolved from a bunch of nerds to a community of professionals. I’m sorry for what we lost, but I love what we gained. (5/8)

This reminds me of a "discussion" over at the dark side (twitter), as Grady Booch replied to a post of Elmo that he has no idea of software engineering. Shortly after a fanboy ask Grady what he has ever done for software engineering and he thinks Grady has no clue.

It immediately reminded me of Cl***y, even before I read any comment. That is, not really good memories.

As long as it comes hidden behind a content warning, I guess I can live with it.

I don't mean to be harsh or devaluate the work done here, so I'll try to be more specific. The combo metallic-object-that-sit-on-a-desktop with eyeballs-that-stare-at-you-all-day under those exageratingly-friendly-eyebrowns, it reminds me of office work, management, and surveillance.

Wenn mir jemand erzählen will, dass Gewerkschaften und Betriebsräte nicht notwendig sind, weil es in Betrieben ohne auch gut laufen würde, frag ich die Leute jetzt einfach, wer denn wohl erkämpft hat, dass sie nicht wie in frühen Zeiten der Industrialisierung täglich 12 Stunden ohne jeglichen Arbeitsschutz in der Fabrik stehen müssen. Weswegen sie diese Bedingungen nicht mehr ab ihrem 7. Lebensjahr erleben müssen, weswegen sie auch eine höhere Lebenserwartung als 40 haben.

I see a joke template.

PSA: when a company has a sudden disaster and then you hear on the socials “the CEO sold stock two days before it happened!” or whatever, almost every single time, that’s because the CEO sells stock on a preannounced, fixed, repeating schedule, which is specifically to avoid insider information influencing the decision when and whether to sell. And if you’re selling on a fixed, repeating schedule, then there will always be one that happens to have been not too long before any given disaster.

I’m not saying that the illegal version of this never happens, I’m saying it doesn’t happen quite as often as people posting this stuff in a scandalized tone think it does. I mean, what, do you think the C-suite of Crowdstrike were pre-informed that they were gonna accidentally crash their own product and decided to offload some of their stock instead of stop the push to production?

I thought being a programmer was a waste of effort, a thankless job that would never make a difference.

Then #CrowdStrike showed me that with a single line of code, I can make the world a better place.
