Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.
As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.
I've been sick, and thus unable to work on commissions, or general art, or promote myself as much as usual, and weekly bills are now due :(
I had to duck out of an exhibition this week too because of MH (and then getting sick so I'm glad I didn't go).
I had a lot of little prints made for it, so how's this - if you spend £10+ in my Ko-Fi shop on physical items with postage, I'll send you a random small (4x4 or 6x4) print for free. ❤

I can’t back this up with data *directly* but I have a firm conviction that there are at least 10x as many people like this as there are useful idiots who will vote for Jill Stein or leave the top of the ticket blank because of some esoteric backwards interpretation of Kropotkin. If you want to help in the home stretch then GOTV will be categorically more consequential than yelling at a guy you made up to get mad at (and you probably already know that) historians.social/@philip_card…
#Florida Dem canvasser knocked on a woman's door. Woman thought she couldn't vote. Canvasser reached out to their team lead and the team lead called the Florida Democratic Voter Assistance Hotline. I got the call.
@matt If you have actually read Kropotkin and you're trying to reverse engineer what an actual person might think, you're overthinking it :)
There *is* an actual kind of stupid person who watches streamers react to video essays where the essayist might cite Kropotkin; this sort of person is likely to be far left, and to care a lot about e.g. Gaza, and maybe even say stuff about how electoralism is bad and " we need revolution". But that's not who I'm talking about…
I had to use Quicktime and screen-record this, because #SeeingAI doesn't allow you to save videos, or not that I could work out at least. Anyway, here's a test with a video Kirsten sent me this morning, in which Alice is driving a car around a track in Disneyland.
@TwoThousandStu @jscholes I guess if you parallel process a bunch of snaps then smooth over the output for context? I have no idea how these things work
You're invited to talk on Matrix. If you don't already have a client this link will help you pick one, and join the conversation. If you already have one, this link will help you join the conversation
My matrix dart sdk talk from #matrixconf 2024. All things considered I am pretty satisfied with it, especially considering it's my first completely solo talk.
Working on a prototype in PocketPages. It's a bit rough around the edges but rapidly improving, and I'm having a blast.
Feels like the good parts of old school PHP development, with database and schema management built in, the ability to fall back to Go when you need it, real-time support and a Dart SDK for Flutter, plus other community-supported client APIs of course. About the only thing missing for me is switching SQLite out for something like Postgres if your prototype ever grows large enough, but since 90+% of them won't, I'm just not sweating it.
If you specifically mean WebSockets, no, it uses SSE. So polling instead, but it does batch everything over one connection at least. pocketbase.io/docs/api-realtim…

#LibreOffice 24.2.7 is now available – the final planned update to the 24.2 branch, which reaches end-of-life in November. After that, all users are recommended to upgrade to the new stable branch, LibreOffice 24.8: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #opensource #freesoftware
Berlin, 31 October 2024 – LibreOffice 24.2.7, the seventh and final planned minor release of the LibreOffice 24.2 branch, is available at on our download page for Windows, macOS and Linux.
@mcn It's a bit difficult to help or comment with zero details from your side. What LibreOffice version, on what operating system? In what format is the spreadsheet? Help us to help you 😉
@mcn Can you provide the actual version number of LibreOffice? Also, .xlsx is Microsoft's format. If you save the file in LibreOffice's format (the open and standardised ODF, so .ods) then close LibreOffice and open the .ods, is there a difference?
Version 24.2.7.2 is a little bit better - only 1GB of RAM, even with ods file. It is really sad that in comparision to Excel, overall responsivnes is unacceptable in real business environment ☹️

I had so much fun making this track come to life in my own style and couldn’t have done it without the amazing gear and incredible people who helped along the way!
**Special Thanks To:** - **Viscount International** 🎹 for that iconic organ sound—big shout-out to Delroy White for taking it up a notch with some custom tweaks. - **Yamaha Drums** 🥁 bringing the heartbeat of this track. - **Audix Mics** 🎤 for capturing the drum sound perfectly. - **Pianoteq** for that smooth Rhodes sound in the background, adding that perfect touch. - **Nord** 🎹 used the Stage 4 for some awesome Clav sounds. - **Surge Synthesizer** 🎛️ powered up tons of synth sounds! Surge is fully accessible and open-source, and for all my blind producers, this one is a must.
Shout out to Mike Gardner for making it all sound amazing with the final mix!
Check out these links to all the fantastic companies that helped bring this track together:

👉 Ve 13:00 si projdeme hlavní úspěchy digitalizace za poslední 3 roky, rozjeté projekty ale i chybky, ze kterých je třeba se poučit.
That's cool! It's just because the company is not so far from where I live and they are known here in the region as an employer which you don't really want to work for, the working atmosphere is not nice from what I heard. The competitor AnyDesk was founded by ex-TeamViewer employees 😄
