There is something oddly satisfying and dare I say therapeutic defragmenting a mechanical hard drive on Windows 98.

How many of you have carefully watched the progress as the churn and crunch of the drive is heard?

Almost, but Not Quite, Entirely Unlike…

Google vs Samsung: The Android Accessibility Showdown for 2025 and Beyond accessibleandroid.com/google-v…

Shit that drives me nuts about #emacs :

I use lsp-mode to have modern niceties for editing code, and which-key to aid in remembering hotkeys.

lsp-mode has a bunch of prefix keys, but somehow Emacs just displayed "g +prefix" and the like for them. It didn't tell me what each group is.

Turns out there is "which-key integration" in the lsp-mode docs: emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/p…

So you *have to enable integrating it with the thing you already have enabled*. Now it displays "g +goto" as expected.

💥 THE BATTLE BEGINS 💥

The tech industry has had quite a year with its billionaires revealing who they really are for all to see. Who will be the WORST PERSON IN TECH?

Emmanuele Bassi reshared this.

Last time we raised funds to add offline messaging support to #bifrost bridge, which connects #matrix and #xmpp. Now we need to raise some funds again to adapt the bridge to support recent changes in how media is shared in matrix. Please contribute opencollective.com/bifrost-med… #FreeSoftware Once we have some funds, we hope this will motivate someone to fix the bridge. You can also join xmpp:bifrost-mam@groups.podder… if you like to help.

@spacepup These aren't special wavetables for it. It's all stock surge stuff. I guess most of the magic is the modulation, post processing and arrangement. Set up lots of LFOs and find cool sweet spots. After a while you develop an intuition of what effects will add to the sound. Or you find ones you like using. Used an absolute ton of compression, frequency shifting, phase distortion and such. Cut the reverb tails at the right spots so things don't blend into each other. And lots and lots of experimentation.

❄️ Vánoce i pro ptáky. Připravte opeřeným sousedům nadílku, která je potěší.

in reply to Keev

@Keev Zpovědní tajemství je církevním právem stanovený a církví těžkými tresty postihovaný závazek mlčenlivosti o věcech, které se kněz dozví v rámci svátosti smíření, což je obřad s jasně ohraničený začátkem a koncem. Na běžné pastorační rozhovory se zpovědní tajemství nevztahuje.

Nedává smysl, aby se zpovědní tajemství vztahovalo na jiné osoby než na duchovní se zpovědní juristikcí (právem udělovat svátost smíření). Není důvod pro nějaké tajemství obdobné zpovědnímu pro jáhny nebo pastorační asistenty a asistentky, kteří a které nemají žádnou jurisdikci obdobnou zpovědní jurisdikci.

Není důvod, proč by církev měla zavazovat stát k ochraně něčeho, co sama svými předpisy nechrání.

#Slop is low-quality media - including writing and images - made using generative artificial intelligence technology.


Quelle: Wikipedia.

Open source projects have to deal with a growing number of low-quality vulnerability reports based on AI. See for example this comment from Daniel Stenberg, maintainer of #Curl:

I'm sorry you feel that way, but you need to realize your own role here. We receive AI slop like this regularly and at volume. You contribute to unnecessary load of curl maintainers and I refuse to take that lightly and I am determined to act swiftly against it. Now and going forward.

You submitted what seems to be an obvious AI slop "report" where you say there is a security problem, probably because an AI tricked you into believing this. You then waste our time by not telling us that an AI did this for you and you then continue the discussion with even more crap responses - seemingly also generated by AI.
