Hi there! I'm Astra - an indie producer from Ukraine. About a year ago I started releasing my music - at first it was simple #ambient, and now I'm exploring new sounds and ideas.
I'm still a bit shy about my voice, so there’s no vocals yet.
My dream is to live off my music one day and leave the job I don’t love.
If my sound resonates with you, just listen - that already means the world to me. 💙
I assume you want an application to quit with Super+q because it looks like Command+q? In which case: no. All shortcuts are set up by applications, which means only applications can decide what to use, depending on the platform.
@ebassi I don't use Gnome and I'm still in #X11 land on #OpenBSD and my #MLVWM window manager, so I'm just "thinking out loud" here...
Do Gnome apps reliably "do the right thing" if sent a SIGTERM, e.g. confirming quit and/or prompting to save unsave changes, as necessary? If so, maybe write a script (triggered on super-q) to get the PID for the frontmost window's process and then `kill -TERM -p $PID` it?
@morgant sorry, but no, that’s not how UNIX signals work; you can’t block inside the signal while running a UI loop to get user confirmation—you don’t even have access to most of the POSIX API because of re-entrancy. The number of GUI apps with a signal handler is vanishingly small, and they don’t use it for interaction. Command+q works on macOS because it’s a shortcut managed by the platform to begin with.
@ebassi At least on the #X11 side, you could still close all windows for the application with `xdotool`'s `windowquit` command (or `windowclose` or `windowkill`, if absolutely necessary).
@ebassi My understanding is that `xdotool`'s `windowquit` is the equivalent to the WM sending a `WM_DELETE_WINDOW` event, which Gnome and such libraries _should_ handle gracefully. I agree that the `windowclose` & `windowkill` commands should be avoided, if at all possible, since they are _not_ going to be graceful, lose data, and break stuff.
Q&A Saturday 25th, 3PM Eastern, 8PM UK October, October, it's very nearly over. And something something sober, mumble mumble Manitoba. I promise the answers will be better than the poetry at this month's Q&A. As usual, we'll be live for a couple of hours, doing our best to help people with REAPER, OSARA and accessible production. Details are over at reaperteacher.com, that's also where you can send us a work in progress or something you've completed recently to get objective, constructive feedback from hosts and some of the attendees who join us live. Try it out, we've been told it's super helpful.
ooh. ok so make zomebiefs kinda like nullfs. You can clone a mountpoint (but it's "empty"), and when you delete files at the origin they appear in the zombiefs version. And they aren't released / fully deleted until the zombiefs deletes it as well or is unmounted.
edit: I think I just described the Trash/Recycling Bin ...
For `zombiefs` I want to say that it's a file system where you can delete files as much as you like, but they never disappear.
But...it could be mistaken for a file system that just will not die, and you keep seeing everywhere, even if it has no right being used anymore. The usual name for this is fat32.
the files should not disappear when you delete them but they automatically move through the directory trees and follow you into your current working directory
I have a thought that's a sort of question and I hope I can express it well. Specifically for my #Blind friends, since we have greater access to books in other formats such as ePUB, Daisy and means through which to read in #Braille and the like, are #AudioBooks as important or necessary as they once were? Do people find themselves as a result less willing to embrace any narration human or otherwise merely to have the book in an auditory format as they might have in earlier times when that was more likely to have been our only means of access? I hope my question makes sense. It's just something I'm thinking about as I listen to samples of Audible books and think do I really want to listen to that narration; and would I have been as prone to such a thought in earlier times when it might have been that narration or no access at all.
@link2xt having been through years of pain fixing scripts to work correctly with BSD's "coreutils", I do not wish to enter a new era of my life where I do this again except this time it's for Rust coreutils which also did not adhere perfectly to the conventions of the GNU coreutils
This is a waste of time IMHO and will definitely make my OS compiles significantly longer with no perceived benefits. I'd rather have hardware implemented memory protections and keep my C utils.
@link2xt I'll admit there are some that will benefit from Rust making it easier to use new instructions and will have a big performance gain from it, and that's welcomed
My daughter got suspended for booting the school bully in the bollocks, so obviously had to "punish" her. But having gone to school with the prick's parents I'm actually really proud of her for potentially ending the bloodline.
hah, I attempted to learn JavaScript before all the fancy libraries and standardization happened. It was a horrible experience. Indeed by comparison python 3 migration was a doozy
Today’s tech and business elite do not understand that the neoliberal systems we had – from the end of WWIi to the Trump era – were designed to preserve elite influence and power over the long term. They really pulled the whole house down just so they could say the r-word in public.

Wow, you're telling me the NPU on Windows 10 is just called an "intel reserved device"? What's so reserved about it, Intel? Oh, the fact that Win10 has very little to zero use for it and apps can't quite tap into it? But then why even show that as a compute accelerator. This is on a Core Ultra 268V, a processor that should never have ran Windows 10, and yet is doing so today. I had 23 drivers to install after a clean one, youch. And yes, you must install the Intel Smart Sound bus drivers, then your APO, then your Realtek driver, else you won't get sound from speakers. But it's done now. Windows 10 on a modern CPU that is really designed for Windows 11. Sadly on AMD the story's different: The new AI processors do not support things like connected standby on Windows 10 because AMD decided to not deliver ACPI drivers for that platform anymore. Going with Intel, if you're buying in 2025 and want Windows 10 is probably better even if it'll require a lot of driver fiddling.
Visiting Taiwan made me sad about the state of English trains. I took a train from Hsinchu to Taipei, which is a little bit further than from Cambridge to London. It took just over half an hour, with multiple tops along the way, and cost £7 each way. There were three trains per hour (not quite in a uniform distribution, but close enough that I didn't really need to plan the train I'd take, I just turned up and got on the next one). A business class ticket would have cost £20 (though does limit you to a single train).
The Cambridge to London trains have less far to go, take at least 50% longer, and cost several times as much.
And governments keep wondering why they're having to spend so much maintaining motorways and no one takes the trains.
Are you an free software developer? If so, do you make a living doing it? DM me. I want to talk to you for an article/video I'm writing! #freesoftware #linux #opensource

typst, an open-source document typesetting system that seems to be growing in popularity, now generates accessible, tagged PDFs by default! typst.app/blog/2025/typst-0.14…
Typst 0.14 is out now. With accessibility by default, PDFs as images, character-level justification, and more, it has everything you need to move from draft to...
Aha. SO I'll wait until it can do MathML before using it. I have no other need for typesetting that can't be solved with a WYSIWYG editor or Markdown/HTML.
Yep, chimed in on the discussion shortly before they finished the job. i'm about to write some papers using Typst now. Sadly enough, most conferences still just accept submissions in LateX, but i'm going to be persistent about it.
Every chat platform needs is a sudo-like warning that goes away after enough participation:

Good morning, my friends.
Please, I need your help. We lost our warm homes and now sleep in the cold streets of Gaza. We must pay $600 to keep a small spot of land — our only shelter.
Please help a queer Black artist survive the fascist U.S.!!!!! Especially with food stamps and subsidized health care getting completely cut off next month indefinitely, Rae needs all the help ze can get!!!!!
My partner Sabi's hotel is two weeks late again. There was movement enough to cover week before last, but then it stopped. Car insurance comes out tomorrow too. I'm really worried.
All help is appreciated for Sabi, who's disabled round-the-clock caretaker for elderly mom with dementia and Little Man, as they fight to stay sheltered off the street and away from 🧊, as well as to maintain valid licensure in keeping car insurance covered and the pending vet bill, as well as having food even once per day.
Please continue to distribute. I really appreciate how much help has come in this week! They're a disabled Indigenous Latina family. Again even simply sh∆ring with consistency helps tremendously, as well as even sending a d0llar, if it's within capacity.
The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.
But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.
Friends, I want to sell off the last remaining brooches to make room for new creative ideas and new collections!🤗 Help these brooches find a home, there are only three 🎄Christmas tree brooches left and one 👻Ghost brooch.
