HTTP clone: *auth errors*
`gh clone`: *timeout*
me: *creates an SSH key, installs it in the demo user account, tries to clone with GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1*
SSH: *stops transferring after the first 1.5MB*
me, to facilitator: "should I be expecting a git clone op to work here?"
hubber: "why are you trying to clone locally? You can run CodeSpaces in your browser."

it *is* more or less possible to code remotely on a CI, but it's a monumental waste of time!

As with the VSTi, it requires a set of Gravis Ultrasound patches in order to work. Once installed, a Timidity Configuration option will be in the Control Panel, and from there you can point the driver at the appropriate Timidity configuration file.

We believe in the ability of Mastodon to create distinct, cohesive communities while also being able to talk to the world, so we’re excited to see people signing up for our inaugural meet-up via Zoom. There's still time to get the deets.
It’s happening this Saturday at 4 PM US Eastern time, 20 UTC. That’s currently 8 PM in the UK, 9 AM on Sunday in New Zealand, 7 AM in Eastern Australia.
This get together is open to CaneAndAble members. If you would like the Zoom link, please send a direct message to this account from your CaneAndAble account, and we’ll ensure you have the link in good time for the event.
Lynette and Jonathan will talk a bit about the instance and answer any questions or take your suggestions. Then we’ll just open it up for a conversation between all the members who attend. We’re particularly interested in getting questions or comments about making the most of mastodon, using Mastodon apps on various platforms, and other ActivityPub services.
We’re really looking forward to it. See you on Saturday.
But I love the community approach here and hope your meeting is wonderfully successful.

Where does the mastodon #embroidery crew hang out?
I've been playing around with art, and I wanna get inspired and chat with y'all.
Hi! I’m a software engineer with more than 15 years experience looking for my next role.
For the last 3 years, I’ve worked in a primarily #Erlang environment, but I really love #Elixir (and have professional experience with it), and I have a lot of #Python experience.
If you’re at #AllThingsOpen and hiring, DM me, and we can meet up.
Located near Washington, DC, USA. Remote preferred. Only authorized to work in USA.

Este es Cas, de la protectora Biosbardos de Ponteareas, Galicia.
En 2015 apareció atropellado, perdió las patas delantera y trasera derecha, les sugirieron practicarle la eutanasia.
Cas salió adelante y es un perro maravilloso, pero se está haciendo mayor y necesita suplir las dos plantas que le faltan.
Necesitan una silla de ruedas especial para él, hace falta primero diseñarla.
¿Alguien el la sala capaz de diseñar algo para que Cas pueda descansar sus pobres patas y moverse?

The new Mac Mini looks great, wow. New chip, 16GB base memory, five USB-C ports (three with Thunderbolt), and probably minimal fan noise. That $599 base model will be a better computer than almost every desktop PC under $1,000, as long as you're okay with macOS.

Oh, you can now close the #NVDA speech viewer with alt+F4?
Wish I'd copied what I wanted out of it before blitzing...
But who knows. If alt+f4 didn't work once perhaps I got so frustrated I just gave up once and never looked back!
Wait... we're getting $200 from the government? Why am I eligible? I shouldn't be eligible. Omg I hate the Cons.
Some more charity money I guess... Damn it, our politicians are useless.
PSA: I ferociously guard my senior developers' code review attention span. If you use "AI" / LLMs / ChatGPT / Copilot to submit Outreachy/GSoC project proposals or merge requests to one of my #FLOSS #opensource projects, I will quickly detect your bullshit, challenge you, and ban you.
This PSA, unfortunately, is brought to you by experience.
Hey all! Our son's boyfriend is working on a project to develop a compendium of Transmasc Comfort Characters from books, movies, TV, and video games.
He'd love it if you'd fill out this survey with your favorite characters! Whether their transmasc status is canon or not - if that character comforts you, please include them.
Please BOOST! :)
Edit: Fixed - you can now submit multiple characters!
