re: audiogame-manager
@bryn It started out as just a way to automate bypassing the installation prompts, and from that has evolved into quite a useful monster. There's even a game you may have heard of available in there, "Endless Runner".

Going dark: Is encryption a threat to our security? The Swedish EU Council says yes.

But we say: Stop the #CryptoWars. Destroying everybody's #privacy will not increase #security.

”Sci-Hub.se was deactivated by The Internet Foundation in Sweden, which manages the country's .se domains. The action came without warning and took Sci-Hub founder Alexandra Elbakyan by surprise.”

When I listened to our conversation, I figured I’d be weirded out by my voice BUT the whole thing is so wonderful - three nerds talking about teaching and learning, and I didn’t feel cringey about it. You two made me feel so comfortable talking about my blasphemous stuff.💕 #oer #ungrading

A new chapter of the Crypto Wars has just been started by the Swedish presidency of the EU Council 😡

Swedish presidency has started discussing the issue with all European Justice and Home Affairs ministers this Thursday in Stockholm

Just because the spec updated does not mean you can automatically use it today where it was a problem yesterday.

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we remember the millions of victims of the Nazi regime during WWII.

The loss of life in the Holocaust is unfathomable and a haunting reminder of the devastation caused by antisemitism and intolerance.

In the face of rising antisemitism, revisionism and conspiracy theories, we must remain vigilant to counter disinformation and educate future generations about these atrocities.

#WeRemember and pledge to fight hatred and discrimination in all its forms in the EU.

Data Privacy Week: Some Canadian firms have ‘shortcomings’ in treating privacy, says regulator

Now, we've ALL had the problem of "now where is my TI-82 Graphing Calculator, can I just bring it up in my browser?"

Why yes, yes you can.

Have a blast!

@yorkie@mas.toYep, could certainly be interesting for those with *some* sight, but I've never had any. So until sound is as comparable as the visual aspect, it will always seem fake, unfortunately. I don't think we're far off, though. Certainly within our lifetime. Apple Music's spatial audio head-tracked stuff makes the sound stage move correctly around, so no reason why VR can't do the same. I live in hope...

ALRIGHT! My petition to the government of Canada, to allow the claiming of asylum by trans people by reason of their country passing trans-eliminationist laws, is now LIVE.

Some late evening hack for the next version of GLib: GPathBuf, or std::path::PathBuf but for C developers.

Basically: a mutable buffer that you can use if you're building paths programmatically. You can initialise it from a path; push and pop path elements until you're done; and then turn it into a full path.

Should reduce the string and vector manipulations that the existing API currently require.
