HAHAHAHA what the eff? Where does that come from? (I know it’s semi-old because of the vertical toolbar)

Gnome is the best UI there is IMO. Anything else is cluttered, or privacy-invasive, or both.

I am a sucker for indirect, coloured washes aiming at the ceiling

You didn’t specify a context, did you?

I mean, this is “ambient lighting” amrite?

Hm. I use it for anything, looping stuff, streams, entire album play, playlists, even audio books before I found maBooks

My only current bug is that I used to have my music on an SD card, which failed & I removed, but VLC still thinks it’s right there and fills my library with it

VLC is the goat here, no?

As available in France, tho only for €60 less.
And you pay €30 for fedora (?)

Indeed but it’s rarely available to the general public. They don’t mind selling 2000 units to a business with dedicated IT support. They (used to) totally draw the line at providing individual support to individual customers.

In my experience (France), buy it while you can because it pops from time to time & disappears without warning.

Woah! Never seen this in France, ever. You can even get it os-free!

The difference in pricing is concerning tho.

Where?

To push it a bit more contemporary: Peter Cawdron and his "First Contact " series, which is infinite variations (about 30 as of now) of making first contact with an alien sentience of any type.

It’s excellent, and despite being excellent only available on kindle / kindle unlimited because as an independent author, that’s the only way for him to publish & make a buck out if it.

Peter Cawdron is on Mastodon btw

I work them, so I never just go and attend them - the experience is so much better when you’re “in”. I love the interaction, quite love the babysitting part of it even.

Also when I enjoy it, I will tell them & and it always work because artists know that if the local tech found them good, that same dude who see so much stuff day-in, day-out, it (probably) means something.

You meet jerks, of course. You learn to provide them with minimal service, but clean and decent for the public. You meet fantastic people who fail to make it through to the audience, and that’s heartbreaking. You learn to put 200% of yourself into a musical style you don’t enjoy because the dudes on stage are killing it and the audience is loving it - who cares if Jazz Manouche is the most boring, written down and set in stone style ever.

My most stupid interaction was, at the end of a programme that included both Chopin and Steve Reich, to tell the Reich’ piece clarinetist “sometimes, Chopin is boring. Especially in regard to Reich”. The Guy was in agreement lol.

Went to wake up my daughter like every morning, bed is empty, covers thrown to the side. Check around the house, nothing.

Everybody else is asleep, house is silent. Check the back, the swings, the rear deck, nothing.

Check bedroom again.

She was rolled up tight in her blanket, against the wall, from head to toe, making it look like the bed was empty.

Weak Knees Moment

Well, when you aren’t shackled to your new keyboard, be sure to enjoy our beers, french fries and chocolates, they are truly unmatched anywhere!

Belgian AZERTY has the @ on a different key than the French one. No, don’t ask.

Laborieux, et limité.

Comment on fait pour trouver du contenu par mot-clef ?

Comment on fait pour trouver du contenu hors du silo d’une instance spécifique et de ses instances fédérées ?

J’en ai chopé une, c’était trash. Curieux parce que je n’avais eu que deux mails avant, très éloignés dans le temps.

Le compte qui a envoyé était vide, mais vieux de presque deux ans

Ah, fuck. Ouvrez vos messages prudemment, si sur un ordinateur minimisez la fenêtre pour pas vous prendre le truc plein pot, full-size

Eh bien j’ai fini Dark, et je regrette pas. Ouais faut s’accrocher, mais c’était bien

Là c’est For All Mankind, ça glisse plus tranquillement (je crois que je suis un peu amoureux de Molly)

Aaaah, Arrival ! Je savais pas qu’il s’appelait comme ça en français.

Ben j’ai envie de lire le bouquin maintenant, j’ai adoré le film. En même temps ce film repose énormément sur ses visuels, je sais pas comment ça passe à l’écrit
