Traveling to the US? Don’t.

Such a good album.

I agree that Discord blows, but it’s what my users use, and it’s free. Maybe there are free Matrix servers I could use instead of hosting it myself, but the problem is still that my users want a Discord server. Basically the same reason I use GitHub. It at least doesn’t blow, like Discord, but it’s not open. I’d prefer to use something else, but I’d get less user interaction. Hopefully once Codeberg’s federation is complete, that will change. Thank you for being kind. :)

Power Operations -> Po Op -> Poop

Perfect.

Sounds nice. I would use it. Keep is one of the last Google services I still use.

Naming software is one of the hardest problems in all of software development.

My friend who’s been praising Plex for years and making fun of me for using Jellyfin instead just told me the other day he’s thinking about switching. It’s their new subscription fee that finally did it. xD

New GPUs don’t work on Linux? Where did you get that idea from?

I got ahead of the game a little bit by switching to Linux in 2008.

Good article. As an open source maintainer, I agree. The majority of interactions I have from my users are positive, but every once in a while, some entitled asshat does make unreasonable demands. I usually respond with a stern dressing down, but respectfully. If they continue, I’ll block them from whatever channel.

One thing that annoys me is when people get upset that I use Discord for support. I get it, it has drawbacks, but I’m not going to spend my limited resources hosting an alternative that most people won’t want to use anyway. Everything I use to host, distribute, and support my projects is free for both me and my users, and that’s because I’m not getting paid to make my projects. I also give out my email, so it’s not even a fair criticism.

I don’t know how to feel about this. I need to ask ChatGPT.

And it will be absolute trash.

The Martian. I’ve read it twice, and would love to read it again. It’s so good.

Soccer is just short for as_soc_iation football, so we kind of also call it football.

When Trump tariffs cause a recession.

I don’t see any system where fast-tracked, state-sanctioned murder can ever work.

I think some of their business oriented laptops are fine, but every consumer model I’ve owned, I’ve had problems with. I can’t trust them anymore, especially since they marketed an XPS as working with Ubuntu, then later changed their marketing to remove the fingerprint reader, which didn’t actually work with Ubuntu. I bought that machine solely because they promised me it fully worked with Ubuntu.

I can’t remember the last time nothing has been going on in my life. It sounds wonderful.

I think that was the generally agreed upon belief before capitalist propaganda changed our collective morality.

I would argue that every 16 year old is still mentally a child. It’s just not enough time to learn how to be an adult.
