It's just so god damn dumb it's hard to describe, like any single reason you could try to narrow down for how dumb it is just decomposes fractally into more dumb.
It's funny how when I am ill, my mind shoots back to things that terrified me. I caught a bit of the shipping forecast earlier and went straight back to a Torchwood audio thing that hung around my head for weeks. bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012fbw8
It's a shock to learn the news that the Living Blindfully podcast is coming to an end. It's been an incredible source of information and discussion that will be sadly and sorely missed in our community. We often say on Double Tap we need more voices out there talking from our unique perspectives so Jonathon's voice not being part of our community anymore will be a huge loss. We at Double Tap wish you well on your journey and perhaps you'll come back on one day to tell us your thoughts on the world of tech just like before. livingblindfully.social/@podca…
Woman Mailed Herself an Apple AirTag To Help Catch Mail Thieves - Several items were stolen from a woman's P.O. box. So she mailed herself a package... - yro.slashdot.org/story/24/08/3… #crime
That is… extremely sad news for me. If you only knew how many times I pronounced your name when talking to blind people, including on air (I mean, on YouTube), you would be surprised, to say the least. Your podcast has always been a great source of news, discussions, thoughtful interviews, brilliant demonstrations. You taught me lots of things, although you don't know about it, Jonathan. I don't know how tactile you are, but since it's virtual, I permit myself to hug you and wish you all the best in your future endeavor. And if some day, one day you decide to relaunch a podcast… you know you'll have many devoted listeners, not only me of course, but I'll be among the first to hit that Subscribe button. Thank you for all your exceptional work. to me Jonathan Mosen means quality, brilliance, truthfullness, a steel will and a kind generous heart. P.S. On a less serious note, it's also sad there won't be an episode 330 (country code 33 is France) and an episode 380 (country code of Ukraine is 380).
Halfway through this latest Radiant Others #klezmer #podcast episode interviewing Zisl Slepovitch & Stephen Naron about their work selecting, arranging, performing and recording music and poems found in the #holocaust survivor and witness testimony at the Fortunoff Video Archive. I have one of the CDs in this series but didn't know all this about how they came to exist. Often these songs were collectively composed in WWII labour camps and recalled by a single survivor. radiant-others-a.blubrry.net/z…
Today represents two countries celebrating their independence day. The date celebrates Malaysia's independence on 31st August 1957, and Trinidad and Tobago's independence on 31st August 1962, both from the United Kingdom. #FactsMatter #Malaysia #TrinidadandTobago

DoomTTS scripts for Windows are now on Github. I don't normally do development in Windows, so if anyone wants to contribute to make the DoomTTS.ps1 script better, pull requests are more than welcome.
#klubovna má další upgrade, za který může #3Dtisk. Původní plán byl nechat "pozadí" za šipkovým terčem industriálně jak je na první fotce. Jelikož je stejné pro vzduchovkovou střelnici (kterou jsem zatím neprovoznil), předpokládal jsem častou výměnu Mirelonu na povrchu. Ale v rámci jednoho opravného malování jsem zalepil hrany páskou a vypadalo to docela dobře. Tak mě napadlo udělat to natrvalo jak je to vidět na druhé fotce. Vůbec nechápu, že někteří lidé jsou schopni žít bez 3D tiskárny 😁.
Storm Dragon pushed changes to the master branch of the linux-game-manager project WolfenDoom should match Proximity addon no matter the name so long as it starts with same prefix as all other addons.
1% is a suggestion. Substitute whatever fraction makes sense for your life and position. Is that 0.025%? Great! Contribute that and use the tag with blessings.
The idea is to normalize regularly giving to support the tens of thousands of "dude in Nebraska holding up the internet" #XKCD2347 that make our computing life as rich as it is.

brother in law lives down the street, I pass it all the time. I’m wondering between the heavy rains and the vibrations off the 720/Ville-Marie (literally right beside it)…
The residents in the building-beside-the-collapsed-wall have had to break in to get their stuff (cat, tools, etc) only to find they’ve already been robbed. (There’s a security guard posted but he’s only watching the front.) (Cat and tools were recovered, $2k+ bike and others were gone)
nvidia drivers fail after update and it can't boot KDE. I can get to console by pressing ctrl+alt+F2, so keep waiting for an update. Selecting a previous kernel in GRUB does work.
“I think that AI has killed, or is about to kill, pretty much every single modifier we want to put in front of the word “developer.”
“.NET developer”? Meaningless. Copilot, Cursor, etc can get anyone conversant enough with .NET to be productive in an afternoon … as long as you’ve done enough other programming that you know what to prompt.”
For many years I haven't liked calling myself an X-language developer anyway, because when working on a whole product as a solo developer, I have to work in whatever set of languages is most practical for getting the job done, and learning different flavors of imperative language isn't that hard. Plus, I don't want to tie my identity to a particular language (as I possibly did with Python early in my career), because then I'd be more resistant to using new languages when appropriate.
The IBM 1401 computer had optional support for math with pounds/shillings/pence in hardware, back when there were 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound. Of course there were two incompatible standards, so the computer had a knob on the front panel to select the standard.
