For system information tools, I still love Astra32. It shows info like S.M.A.R.T status for hard drives and reads them through its own driver, not Windows hardware probing only, and I could not find other tools that do this and present it in a nice accessible list with tree views. Ram speed, even CPU feature breakdown and manufacturing info, all there. astra32.com/
ASTRA32 is a powerful tool providing diagnostics and complete information about your computer system. It scans the actual hardware, not the Windows Registry. It also offers such features as a HDD Health Status checker and Drivers Troubleshooter.
Is it supposed to cause my USB audio device to abruptly disconnect upon clicking continue, hold for a while, and then restart my computer? Or was that a crash?
@x0 ahaha haven't seen that one! What odd behavior for that. Sometimes the window can look like it's frozen as it scans, but that's about the only side effect I've seen, and a slight hang if you stay in it as it does so. The other tool I tried is SIV (System Information Viewer) 5.82 - but a lot more sparce, everything is one menu and less readable since it's just dumped in as text and not a list to the window. Still good for some of that detailed info and I think they also use a low-level driver to do the trick.
It caused NVDA to not just stop talking about an actual audio drop-out, which is indicative of the signal to this headset being lost. But it never said disconnected. I've also used HWInfo322, which lets me view everything in a tree, but yeah I think it might have crashed my computer.
@x0 huh, I didn't even realize it generate a log? I've run it on like, a dozen of laptops over the last ten or so years but never saw such oddness! very interesting and baffling in a way, unless it's pausing on some sort of, nonstandard controler it can't read and the driver bales, taking the system with it, because we all know how stable kernel-level drivers are on Windows and the amount of amazing unfettered access they have to things. :D

Heading down to the MIDI room to pull another file off the shelves. Today's file: po_flaph. Internal title: Flaphead. An interesting experimental electronic track, with heavily pitched, filtered and chorused instruments, making some highly unusual sounds. As played by Nuked SC-55 with the mkII ROM set.

Native support for large attachments is the only main pain point in day to day usage.
Once you start using DeltaChat you quickly forget the technical architecture that people get so upset about (oh no, email!!!) because it works so damn well.
Fast, reliable, you can send messages even if you're in an elevator, a cave, under the sea, in the woods with bad signal coverage, etc. None of this "message could not be delivered" garbage like with other messengers. The message will be successfully delivered when there's connectivity just like you expect.
Like an outbox. From email. Remember writing and sending emails without being dialed up yet?! Yeah, like that. Just works. RT: chaos.social/users/delta/statuβ¦
What are the main obstacles for you to adopt usage of #deltachat apps with your families, friends or communities?
if you have other issues than the poll options please add to the replies.

Microsoft would have to be *very* bad at this for a plot to have backfired this badly
@usul I told my brother after we succeeded getting both his gaming PC BIOSes upgraded and Windows successfully running SecureBoot for the BF6 beta that this game is going to make the SecureBoot statistics skyrocket
They had like 550,000 players online during the *beta*. It was nuts. Great game too
I did see however that there was a stupid incompatibility some people hit where they were unable to play BF6 until they uninstalled Valorant (?) because of an incompatible anti-cheat detected
Microsoft really needs to just throw the Xbox team at this problem and build a unified kernel-level anticheat framework into Windows which every game can utilize... this is just getting ridiculous

chrome developers: we are thinking of dropping support for rendering RSS feeds as something other than garbage code. does anyone have any reasons not to do this?
developers from many different backgrounds: yes, I rely on normal people being able to understand RSS for my business. dropping support will be disastrous for me because I can't rely on people to have some random extension installed.
chrome devs: OK well we're probably going to do it anyway because we can't be bothered to support web standards. uwu google is only a teensy wee company uwu

Gitlab does not provide any system auditing webhooks on the free tier. If you want to be able to get alerts for things like new users, groups, snippets, projects etc so you can detect spam/bot accounts, you're screwed.
So I'm going to use this as a workaround and build my own solution.
it's crazy because this functionality is supported natively and is documented, they just won't give all of them to the plebes. The screenshot shows the limited options on the free tier.
On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing listΒΉ. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on βa free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop toolsβ¦ based entirely on free software.β
To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! π
Why should anyone in their right mind donate to a foundation which works on an awful desktop for the benefit of usa big tech IBM Red Hat and Canonical, oh nearly forgot annother comercial company SuSe.
All support trump IBM RHEL very openly.
Those companys are also influential on the gnome foundation board.
My donations go to small companys or direct to developers not big dollars big tech.
I currently donate to @kde and several FOSS other projects like @usebottles and money is a bit tight given I cannot get work, but I do wish GNOME well! (Even if I don't use it.)

New version π¨ #Weblate 5.13 brings many preparations for more significant changes and also delivers the new commit policy. Select what translations you want to receive to your repository. And donβt forget to check all the other improvements! #YourSoftwareYourLanguageweblate.org/news/archive/513-cβ¦
We published an exciting release today. It is the first one that includes the work done by new Weblate team members, namely Karen on the frontend and Kartik on the backend. We are excited to have them on our team.
Omg, this was my #1 complaint about Weblate since forever! The only issue that truly bothered me and I had no workaround for! I cannot put into words how happy reading about that feature makes me! I need to go set this up as I like it for my projects soon β€οΈ
@SylvieLorxu For us, itβs great to read this message from you! #Libre projects should bring happiness to their community members π Keep your suggestions and feedback coming! Happy Weblating!
Small follow-up question, just to make sure I understand it right:
If I'm correct, translations failing *enforced* checks (not "normal" checks) will be forced to have the "needs editing" flag and thus will automatically be blocked if you set Settings -> Workflow -> Translation quality filter to "Skip translations marked as needing editing", with no way for the editor to override this, right? Because that is the behaviour I need, I need people to stop submitting broken translations :)

This time, using Gemini to write a 2D audio game in Javascript. Collect the musical notes in order, avoid demons. I had to explain several concepts to get the spacial audio to be something we're used to but I did end up with a working game. I know JS is not the world's most ideal language for these but it's fun to create small concept games like this. bestmidi.com/scalethis
oooh I'm fascinated that Gemini can code these out so well, very much reminds me of that demo Dino game you get in Chrome when you have no network, for sure fun to play as an idle time spender. Wonder how much you need to self-correct for JS games like these or if it can really get a working (and clean, that is readable with functions organized) copy at the first shot.
@Tamasg It did give me a functioning game on the first shot both times. For the second one, I gave it the first game as part of its data I had to explain some concepts for 2D audio, like the view being on the player. It did one-shot my stupid little background theme with just a few notes. I'll share some more on the prompting soon.
@Tamasg The first versions were about 15K each, it does much better than it used to in organizing everything in functions. Of course feel free to look at the code that is there, I'm sure you'll find some things that maybe aren't best practices, not sure. I've asked it a few times for ideas - it did suggest using a gameState object which makes sense and made that change.
@Tamasg Have you messed with Firebase? Gemini is trying to push me in that direction for leaderboards saying it's a much simpler solution than a local DB which mind you, I have set up many times before. But maybe for security and low setup time, it's not a bad solution for this use case.
AAAAA I hadn't used my Chromebook in a while so I got jump scared by the fact that they *put a Gemini button where the menu button used to be*. (The menu button got moved all the way to the left because fuck you, I guess?)
The #curl sticker right in the middle of the #frameworkcomputer logo fits so well I initially didn't even realize its existence and the fact that no other comment that I can currently see mentions it I'm probably not the only oneπ
