The ferris wheel in Vienna with the full Moon.

No, ono to je tak, že když napíšu, že jsem byl v Mogau, zásadní buddhistické lokalitě, o které se dnes píše na OpenCulture.com, poté, co jsem přejel Gobi na solárním kole, tak to sklidí dva favy. Když napíšu rádobyvtipnou satiru, kterou se v podstatě vymlouvám na to, že pořád nemáme upgradnutou instanci, tak to ale všichni boostujou.
A tak je to na sociálních sítích se vším 
Nicméně, povahou Buddha je stále čist.
Tras el post que publiqué anoche acerca de la negligencia que comentieron con nosotros, els bombers forestals del País Valenciá, manteniéndonos en base y negando nuestra actuación en la #DANA hasta 2 dias después del desastre, hoy me levanto con la noticia de que el CECOPI empieza a retirar a bomberos forestales de otras provincias porque “ya no hay trabajo para hacer” (wtf!)
Esta gente debe ser procesada por ineptitud. No puedo levantarme más cabreado.

Ok at this rate I want to say all I want is for A Moment But Forever to release now so that I can stare at the pretty people.
Ok ONE specific pretty person, admittedly.
Also realised that it's not that I dislike #xianxia. So much of xianxia is catered to the 20s demographic. I want the characters to be more mature and older. We older folks want our fantasy stories too & this is a rare one that caters to older audiences.
is it just me, or is the entire #gnome ecosystem virtually integrated into accomodating bigtech and bigtech only?
i recently tried to reach out to developers and met a wall of amazon, fastly, microsoft and cloudflare. i don't think its possible to meaningfully contribute the gnome ecosystem without being poached/disrupted by the corporates.... pretty sucky :(
Estoy leyendo Pórtico, el clásico de la ciencia ficción de Frederick Pohl, y tengo que reconocer que lo que más me flipa es el concepto que tiene el autor sobre los niños pequeños y el tamaño de las cocinas.
En serio.
A partir de aquí "microspoilers".
Aparece una niña de año y medio que habla como un adulto. En ningún momento se plantea siquiera que sea una niña excepcional en ningún sentido.
Luego describe que las naves Heechee son muy pequeñas. "El interior de una nave Heechee, incluso una Cinco, no es mucho más grande que la cocina de un apartamento", para luego apuntillar "de ese total de espacio disponible, unos cuarenta y dos o cuarenta y tres metros cúbicos". ¿Perdona? ¿42 metros cúbicos? Eso es perfectamente una planta de 20 metros, 4x5 con 2 de altura. ¿Cuándo han sido las cocinas de los apartamentos tan enormes?
¿¿Había visto este señor alguna vez un niño o una cocina??

It's snowing in the Valleys, clumps of fluffy flakes interspersed with sleet.
It's not settling in my semi-urban area, but the mountains on the horizon have disappeared, which typically means they'll be dusted white when they re-emerge from the clouds later.
They're like a theatre performer doing a costume change under cover of artificial smoke.

- I split vacation days to only one single Friday of the week for a month and usually coming back on Monday I'm not overwhelmed by what has come up in Slack and meetings.
- Take days when work is a bit slower, like Christmas or holidays, but the downside that you travel with the pack, so to speak (So for me I'm limiting it to local-ish travel to destinations that are no more than an hour away from home.)
Sadly in a world where a lot changes or the work can pile up quickly if not attended to, this can be harder said than done, so I do get the feeling. Hope you can find a break soon.
@jscholes clever, took me a minute there!
The wife insists it is a 'Summer House' and half of it will be used for 'Enjoying the nice weather' when we have it.

It’s #InternationalMensDay today.
This isn’t a laughing matter. As the trustee of a charity dedicated to stamping out domestic violence, I know that almost all of this (97% +) is perpetrated on women by men. That doesn’t mean that men don’t experience domestic violence too. And yes, NOT ALL MEN, etc.
Lots of men are struggling. Suicide rates are shockingly high and toxic male role models are everywhere.
Today, let’s try to help each other be better. Have a great day.

If you are a WhatsApp user, then it's worth checking the size of the following folder if you find your main OS drive feels a little slim on space.
Hopefully, copy/pasting this into the run dialog or address bar should take you straight to it:
%localappdata%\Packages\5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop_cv1g1gvanyjgm\LocalState\shared
In here is a folder called 'Transfers' which is all the downloaded audio, photo and video from your various chats. It's safe to delete this, as it can just pull from the server again if needed.
Cleared out 4GB when I did this on one of my systems, and just over 800 MB on another.

Huh.
So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?
A mile is 1.609 kilometers.
The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.
So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc
5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.
etc etc.
Kinda neat IMO.

I am probably going to switch full-time to using a Mac again next month, with Windows usage through a virtual machine when I need it.
Pretty much everything I regularly do on Windows can be done on Mac OS. I no longer do some of the more esoteric stuff I once did, I'm not in a professional environment where use of Microsoft Office is required, etc.
What I am not sure of, however, is the state of accessibility in regards two track audio editirs.
I do 99.999% of my work, even basic stuff, in Reaper, and I know that will work just fine on Mac OS. However, I also sometimes need to work with raw audio, and for that, I once used SoundForge, now GoldWave on Windows. That's one thing Reaper can't do.
Yes, I could use a tool like SoX or ffmpeg to convert between file formats and all that, but often, I need to deal with files exactly as they are.
I don't need a ton of functionality. Any real heavy stuff I would do in Reaper.
Given the Audacity controversy a few years ago, I haven't bothered looking to see what's up there, and for as little as I need it, I couldn't justify the price of SoundForge Pro 3 for Mac. Apparently, Magix couldn't either, because they are no longer developing the Mac version of SoundForge.
So, anyhow, for those who have to deal with headerless files (ulaw, PCM, etc.) and also need Voiceover accessibility, what are the options these days?

I know how to follow a Lemmy account from Mastodon. But how do I follow Mastodon accounts via Lemmy? Is that even possible?
One concern I do have is that NVDA necessarily registers for notification events globally, which means that a notification event flood from a background terminal is going to impact performance. Hopefully terminal manages notification events better than it does text events. We shall see.
Also, any idea why tmux seems to redraw the entire screen after an alert message (like "Can't find window: 1")disappears? I haven't found a way to disable that. Disabling indn doesn't fix it.
indn@ disables the \33[2S part of the sequence, so now it has to send something else, in my case "\33[30;120H\n\n\33[29;1Htest\33[K\r\n\33[K".
I guess whatever's generating the notifications for Windows Terminal doesn't like scrolling with escape sequences, but the absolute positioning works fine.
I haven't found a fix for redrawing after the messages either, but it happens so infrequently I can just ignore it.
Another problem is that text gets split up sometimes, for example paste in It’s and press enter. Notice the unicode apostrophe. tmux does weird things with cursor movement there, and nothing handles that well. Most of my usage is with tdsr outputting to NVDA, and I don't need to disable indn. It just reads the bytes as they come in.
Windows Terminal fails the basics, I can't press Alt+letter without NVDA re-reading the focus.
Interestingly, if I set my speech mode to beeps, that's also very laggy. I guess it's expensive to continually generate and play the tone, even if we stop it very quickly.
