Logic Pro 12 will not work offline!

Apple will not give me a 11.2.2 version of Logic Pro that I had before. It's obvious that they want to move to subscription model, but I don't want to. So Apple blames the victim, saying "you should have had a backup"? A reputable company would give me the previous version. No warning about this before udate.

This is not cool, Apple. Too busy swanning around the White House, Tim? Let's have some support.

If you take just one thing away from #FOSDEM this is it.
👇🏽
“If we lose our democracies, Open Source is irrelevant and goes away”

or putting it another way:

If we don’t apply, enforce, adopt and embrace Open Source in our public and government institutions we risk to lose our democracies.
#OpenSource #SaveDemocracy
Boost if you agree!

this may sound odd, but does anyone (preferably in europe) know of / have experience with something like a full-body squishmallow cushion thing?

i sleep on my side, but lately the sleeping-induced pain in my hip/leg has become impossible to manage. it's been so bad the last two days that i've *had* to "sleep" on my back. but that's quite painful in lots of other places and makes me so dizzy that i literally nearly fall over when i try to get up, if i'm like that for any length of time. and i can't sleep on my other side as it sets off my heart arrhythmia. (and i got my cartilage piercings in that ear as i knew i couldn't sleep on it lol)

so! i need something super soft to cushion my hip (and shoulder) on my sleeping side that could go on top of the mattress. which is lovely and supportive, but not very forgiving, i guess.

thank you :BlobCat_Flower:

(please boost but only if you don't mind)

There's a new infestation on the block. Automatic meeting summariser AI-s. They join virtual meetings on Zoom or Teams on behalf of people, unannounced.
So, as an organiser, you may see something called "Firefly" or "read.ai" join. They proceed to spam the chat with "helpful" snippets of the meeting. Then, they will send everyone, who was invited to the meeting emails with "helpful" summaries, which are hidden behind a link, for you to klick and get sucked into their marketing database.
From a recent meeting, I received no less than 5 emails from 5 different services.
Personally I just kick them out as an organiser, just as I would do with a physical meeting, when a random bloke nobody knows about would barge in and sit in the corner. If they would harass everyone after the meeting in the parking lot in their cars with "Tell me your credit card number and I tell you 10 super cool things of the last meeting", I would cut their owners out of my comms completely. In fact, I am not really shure why we find it acceptable in virtual spaces right now.

I missed this but Gentoo Linux allows you to bootstrap the rustc compiler using a regular C++ compiler via mrustc. You should be able to build the entire Rust toolchain from source without having to rely on a rustc binary distribution if you wish so.

Wow… Google fined a whopping $68 MILLION DOLLARS for eavesdropping on people’s spoken conversations. That’ll teach them! It’s going to take Google a whole hour and a half to make that money back. I guess they won’t be pulling shit like this anymore after feeling that sort of pain. We really showed ‘em this time, eh? mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/… mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/…

As we guessed, it seems that despite Google saying they were not making recordings of people's voices and mining them for advertisers, they were doing exactly that.

GoDaddy DNS really is a steaming pile of manure.

1. You can manage DNS records in cPanel, but the nameservers listed there don't work.

2. You can switch to the default GoDaddy nameservers, but they don't contain the cPanel records.

3. The only 'solutions' are to:
a. Copy all the records manually from cPanel to GoDaddy
b. Setup your 'own' nameservers, which resolve to the cPanel IP

Active dis-recommend if anyone is looking for hosting (I can't change this one, the client likes them).

Went to the hospital for some more voice training exercises, and a thought occurred to me.

Is there a place, a business, somewhere on this planet named after dirt, that manufactures uncomfortable chairs for hospital waiting rooms? A business whose owner one day decided, "my passion, my calling, in this life is to make chairs as uncomfortable as I possibly can."

Then, for some reason man was not meant to know, many hospitals saw this place, and said, "yes, we want to torture our patients. We want to make their wait as terrible as we can."

Je viens de réécouter du Within Temptation, et définitivement j'aime pas, le chant est toujours pareil, ça varie pas, pareil pour la musique
Définitivement, le seul groupe de sympho qui me fait vibrer c'est Epica, à l'ancienne, sur les trois premiers albums, avec tellement de changements de rythmes, c'est un pur plaisir
