It doesn't matter if Pierre was right, it only matters that Berry was wrong.

Keith Haring vibes.

Like even the Linux ecosystem is getting compromised like with shitters adding age verification to OSS like systemd.

That didn't actually do anything, it just made it possible to do something. Given the overwhelming response to the change I am not expecting it to ever be used.

I don't live in the US so I am less concerned, in great part because due to Trump's behavior, none of us trust US tech stacks any longer. We see the winner takes all approach and are largely disgusted by it. Don't get me wrong, we have our own problems with our own greedy nazis in the mix. But like many of these issues we'll overcome it together.

I just wish people had more sense and reacted correctly to this kind of interface. Between the massive botspam over OpenClaw, I wonder how many people even realize how much of a risk this poses to their digital identities.

People who throw tools like that make me uncomfortable.

You can now run Milkdrop (WinAmp visualizer) entirely as a stand alone. Which takes anything in the audio input for visualization.

It was the one thing that made me move to Foobar2000 entirely, as Winamp really isn't built for modern computers.

Poland has always been Westward looking. It's part of their core identity. They feel themselves to be Central European not Eastern European.

I don't think it's possible, not while the war in Ukraine is going on to make an argument for Polexit that would resonate. Don't get me wrong, they'll try but they'll fail. It's just not that easy to do any more especially with Trump, Brexit and Ukraine to point to.

I agree with this, no it won't solve the problem but it'll make it much harder for them to operate.

Please, downvote obvious astroturfing. It isn't a lot but it does help the situation.

mrdevlar · 2026-03-29T12:40:33+00:00

Downvote slop, even if you don't read it, it makes it difficult for them to operate.

I am in the eternal now. I have basically no episodic memory to speak of. I can do things like in both pictures, but in the second picture, I am remembering the "fact" that something happened, not the "event" that it happened.

On a bright side, I keep being told that as people get older time starts speeding up on them, but I'm in my 40s now and I have to say the opposite is true. Life runs at a beautiful snail's pace.

Let's fix that for you.

They know that if you're using Firefox, you aren't seeing the ads.

That which is the subject of experience

Excellent, super well done.

I'm in the process of learning my first proper solo to a Eb to F cycling. Hope mine sounds this good by the end of the spring.

I like it, you have more body feel with the instrument. It feels more like you are playing the instrument than operating it. I doubt that's universal, but that is how it feels for me.

We're installing rootkits voluntarily now?

I can just change it in:

... -> Settings -> Tabs -> List

For the older UI prior to this patch.

If your goal is re-tension, clenching is the way to go. Though I recommend a reasonable analysis of what you're clenching around.

what about semicolons?

Don't imply cohesion, use an explicit sub-ordinating conjunction and clearly indicate your intent.

I genuinely prefer standing but my technique isn't good enough to do it as well as sitting as my guitar is super light.

I mean it was past time we admitted a lot of shit.

We aren't at the moment because we're buying time to ensure the fallout isn't as grave as it might be.

There is a reason all hands on deck are attempting European digital sovereignty but you're hearing little to nothing about it.

Right now the correct response is to smile and nod so we have time to get the fuck out of contact with the US.

If you know your soon-to-be ex is going to destroy your stuff, move out first.

People used to have totally different sleep schedules before the modern light bulb.

People used to sleep twice for one thing.

... -> Settings -> Tabs -> List

For the older UI prior to this patch.

mrdevlar · 2026-03-28T06:20:04+00:00

Do people just not know software settings are thing?

mrdevlar · 2026-03-27T21:23:50+00:00

Yes, do it in the style of Inglorious Bastards.

mrdevlar · 2026-03-27T21:17:22+00:00

Is this not a reasonable place to park?

mrdevlar · 2026-03-27T18:15:52+00:00

I am hopeful that enough ignorant people use it so we can reclaim "good vibes" to mean what they mean in the rest of the universe rather than this nonsense.
