the Humble Bundle download experience is fucking terrible I can't even express in words how awful everything about it is.
Oh I have 175 items to download and I can click them all manually or use the "bulk download" button which DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE IT GIVES RANDOM ERRORS FOR SOME OF THE ITEMS AND STOPS DOWNLOADING
ok so I saved the download page HTML and made Qwen write a script to extract all the download links for the format I wanted, ran that through curl, and now I have the files.
I can't believe I had to resort to that, what a bullshit website
In late September, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his government’s plans to introduce a new digital ID scheme in the country to take effect before the end of the Parliament (no later than August 2029).
If you find that you're motivated to boost 20 posts in a row from one feed it might be better to merely point people to it and say hey go here it's a worthy follow. 😁🤣🤣
Me cago en todo lo que se menea. El Ayuntamiento tiene funcionando un centro sociocultural o cosa por el estilo en el bajo de mi edificio. Y los miércoles tienen coro. Y no está correctamente insonorizado.
The fact that it was possible for Cambridge UIS to “retire” Talks.cam over the objections of the entire Faculty and replace it with an expensive and unfit-for-purpose enterprise shittified program shows that the Tail is fully wagging the Dog at Cambridge now, and the days of faculty sovereignty are well and truly over.
In a partnership with Mistral AI, CNRS is deploying a locally-hosted LLM chatbot for its employees.
They provide some examples of tasks you can ask the chatbot: summarizing a long text; translating; and writing an outline for an article.
Tasks you'd want to delegate to an assistant because they're beneath you.
And then they decided it would be a great idea to "honor" Emmy Noether, one of the most influential women mathematicians ever, by naming this chatbot Emmy after her.
I cannot fully express how angry that makes me.
Can't be arsed to read something yourself? Ask good old Emmy to summarize it for you, that's right up her alley, she'll do it between proving two major results in algebra or mathematical physics, too bad she's only a website and can't make you a cup of coffee while she's at it.
@cazencott@lipn.info je viens de me rendre compte que le nom de domaine est "alan-poc". Je me demande donc quelle autre figure de l'informatique avait dû être choisie pour nommer l'outil initialement
Sometimes you just have one of those days. ^.^ Boosted from @jfmezei: Torontonian arrested in Ashland Virginia after breaking in to a liquor store, getting drunk and passing out in the bathroom. He was held until sufficiently sobered up and then released. 🙂

Hi @JenMsft I was discussing the new start menu with a friend of mine as they were able to get access to it and I have not been able to yet. I noticed that the all section in the new start menu, when in grid or list views, contains an accessibility regression because it is no longer possible to use first letter navigation as I can in the old start menu. Several different times of running Insider builds, even with the option enabled to get the latest updates as they were available, I never received the new start menu, and I am very concerned about the gradual rollout approach because I am unable to test the features firsthand right away to be able to report accessibility findings such as this one. The only reason I knew that first letter navigation didn't work is because I explicitly asked my friend to try it. This is my biggest concern with these gradual rollouts, because I am concerned that there could be missed opportunities for catching accessibility issues. I much preferred how new features were handled in Windows 10 because I was able to immediately test the features as long as I was on the correct build, which was what kept me continuing to test Windows. I have not been involved with running insider builds nearly as often now as there's no way for me to know when I'll actually receive the feature I'm wanting to test. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to any input you may have. Thanks!
A small number of rich people with no racialised friends looked at the ICE abductions in the USA and thought it looked really cool, so now Bill C-12 is somehow getting its third reading tomorrow (the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act)
The concept of "coffee flavor" is seriously harmful to the entire coffee industry because it sets a specific expectation as for what "proper" coffee is "supposed" to taste like.
The reality is that there isn't one specific coffee flavor. What most people think of as the platonic ideal of coffee taste, the flavor that most people would describe as THE generic coffee flavor is actually so far from generic it's insane.
Practically ALL coffee available in stores and most cafes comes from just 3 regions of Brasil. The fruits are harvested with little to no quality control and then processed using the natural process since it's the cheapest. The resulting beans are then roasted very dark destroying lots of the aromatic compounds in order to reduce the flavor variety between batches and give the coffee that characteristic bitter, charcoal-like profile. The beans are then packed and shipped to stores where they often sit on shelves for upwards of 2 years, losing more flavor with each passing week. Eventually they're bought and brewed using boiling hot water to produce that intensely bitter beverage with tasting notes of cigarette ash and charcoal that we all know and hate.
This extremely specific process is how we arrive at the "general coffee flavor". Sadly, this flavor is what most coffee drinkers have come to enjoy and expect, often immediately dismissing any coffee that tastes different as "bad" or "poorly brewed". Even though coffee processed in any other way, from literally anywhere else in the world will NOT have that specific flavor profile. There is so much variety when it comes to coffee, so many possible delightful flavors and I hate that so many people are utterly unaware of that fact and unwilling to even try exploring the infinite possibilities because they're not the same as that extremely specific "generic" coffee flavor...
#Gnome is one of many open source projects I am regularly donating to. I use it every day on laptops at home, on laptop at work and hopefully one day on my daily driven phone. Do you also like it? Donate few dollars too. Be #FriendsOfGnome.
This post was contributed by the Fundraising Committee from the GNOME Foundation. This week we are launching an end-of-year fundraising campaign with a simple goal: to reach 1,500 Friends of GNOME...
aww, thank you! The mobile efforts from the community have been pretty incredible to follow—and so much of it makes GNOME better across all devices, as well. Thank you for sharing. ☺️
did you know that gnome os runs on OnePlus 6T? Postmaketos is on our advisory board as well. So we might see it. Combined with libadwaita many apps are mobile ready. That said there is still quite a lot of work ahead of us. Make sure you catch the mobile devroom at fosdem!
Of course. I am running Gnome on PostmarketOS on OnePlus 6. But it's not my main phone. It's not ready for my daily tasks yet. But it's improving over time.
Please boost and raise awareness to this well-researched article; and if possible, consider donating to him as donations is currently his only source of revenue
I still don't understand why nicco continues to minimise the harm of hyprland and ladybug? They're actively harmful to minorities, regardless if he insists on calling them conservatives instead of fascists.
@emmy I can't fault Nicco for not explicitly calling them fascists publicly.
The moment you show your full name, face, and contact information publicly while making content that call out fascists, you're putting yourself at a high risk of receiving threats from these people. At times like these, it is safe(r) to be careful with how you set your tone and present information. I follow a similar rule when writing articles.
Being sick with eg. the flu and meeting people unprotected being normalized + mysterious fatigue problems like ME/CFS that nobody understands the origin of + "huh it looks like something similar to Long Covid may be happening with the flu" = ???
@dvl I was renting a house in Miami, had bad wiring, they shipped me a UPS in 2 days. Wasn't possible to buy what I wanted at any local stores; they only sell the cheap line-interactive UPSes
also you can't beat them for batteries. They ship whatever you need including a tray if your UPS needs it, and last I checked they still give you return labels to send your old batteries back
Soooo, Familie Füdli hat noch mal Zuwachs bekommen ♥
Ein grosses Merci an @FireHyena, der als erster einen Sticker von mir bekommen und das unfreiwillig gestartet hat. . Ein weiteres grosses Merci an @KopfKrieg für die Idee mit den Katzen und ihrer süssen Kitty, die Modell stand.
Füdli ist ein knuffiges, kindertaugliches Wort für Hintern. Gleiche Wortwurzel wie auch für einige Deutsche Wörter, mitunter aber auch derbe, und mitunter eher für Vulva als für Hintern.
Hüänä und Schtinktier ist eher als Witz gedacht, aber Schweizerdeutsch ist nicht genormt und wird phonetisch geschrieben, ergo ist es nicht falsch.
Büsi / Büssi / Bussle etc. sind alles Wörter für Kätzchen, vergleichbar mit "Mieze".
But the 1 billion people using TG are at risk because of its big central database that any state security service craves for. Moreover, several anonymization proxy-bot offerings were hacked in 2024, identifying millions of users and content.
#deltachat builds anonymization directly into the app and has pervasive end-to-end encryption. #chatmail relay operators can sleep well, knowing they have nothing. Ergo, E2EE is good for any operators sleep! :)
@lexinova you are not alone, and some folks had success with the ongoign docker PR github.com/chatmail/relay/pull… "Gut ding will weile haben" as some germans say: good deeds benefit from taking a while :)
Thanks @Keonik1 for #614 :) I had a lot of fun with git rebase to break it up into small, reviewable chunks. It's still a lot, but doable :)
Before we can merge this, we need to merge:

We recently got some ring cameras which I absolutely adore, but I have one thing that is driving me crazy. The camera doesn't pick up the same distance that my simplisafe cams did. mainly it won't pick up motion in the driveway. I believe this is due to motion zones. I would have to manually drag circles on an image, and of course this is not accessible for blind folk. I guess it will soon be time to find someone with working eye balls to draw these.
I found even after I had someone do that for me it still seemed to be influenced by temperature of all things. Not sure if it uses infrared for anything but seems here to pick up things at further distances in Winter. Hope you get the results you want.
This past weekend we had #BoilingTheOcean 8 at Cultivation Space in Berlin! Topics included Reflection, a local-first system sync service, Flatpak, the GNOME governance proposal, focus stealing prevention, TeamType, Dino on Android, GNOME Circle, and much more!
Die Union, die so gern zum Thema #Chatkontrolle allen Unterstützung von Kindesmissbrauch vorwirft, die gegen die Chatkontrolle sind, kann sich gern endlich mal um die Vergewaltigungen kümmern, die von den Kirchen vertuscht werden, wenn sie den Schutz…
@ltning PostgreSQL 18 has support for async IO operations and OpenZFS 2.3.0 added DirectIO support so now there are few reasons to not use ZFS with Postgres as long as you know which knobs to turn
@ltning it's in 15.0-RELEASE, I confirmed looking in the man page
if you have a server that is dedicated to Postgres you'd want to turn off ARC compression, prefetch, and a couple other things that will increase latency
Zum #TagDerMenschenMitBehinderung schenke ich mir die Versammlung jener an der Uni, weil nur #Schwerbehinderte teilnehmen dürfen. Inklusion ist kein Thema für alle Beschäftigten, sondern es werden lieber Buzzword-Berichte und „kein Geld für” vorgetragen. Außerdem dürfen nur Fragen gestellt werden, die nicht individuell sein dürfen. Das ist angesichts der Tatsache, dass #Beeinträchtigungen und #Erkrankungen sowie deren Auswirkungen immer individuell sind, unsinnig. Diese Anliegen will die Beauftragte individuell annehmen und in meinem Fall ja oft genug lieber auf dem Scheiterhaufen der deutschen Verwaltungszuständigkeitsprüfung versauern lassen ... Ich sage nur: Plattformlift fast ein Jahr nicht sicher nutzbar. Stattdessen bin ich heute im Limbo-Style mit dem Rolli unter der Schranke an der #Unibibliothek durch und durch den Matsch neben der Treppe lang. 1/x
Mit #Sichtbarmachen und damit etwas verändern hat der Tag und dessen Hashtag schon lange nichts mehr zu tun. Vielmehr geht es ums #Feiern (ich wüsste nicht, was es da zu feiern gäbe), um LinkedIn-Posts oder darum, wie inspirierend es ist, "wie diese Menschen ihr Leben meistern" , statt sich daran zu erinnern, dass unser bürokratisches Land zum Glück einige Normen und #Menschenrechte hat, die es ein zuhalten gilt, um das Leben barrierefrei und die Gesellschaft #inklusiv zu machen.
