So against my better judgment, I actually responded to this. For a moment, I thought it might actually not be a lead into a scam, but the second I saw that “can you forgive me“ I’m like yah, 80% this is a scam lead in.

Please explain to me why people believe the "market" will solve the housing crisis, if only we removed barriers like zoning. The market certainly doesn't seem to do so well at maintaining existing properties at affordable prices.

PS. With all the Discord stuff, in case you wonder why you never see me promoting Matrix, it’s not because it’s a usability nightmare (which it is) but because it’s made by the kind of people who’d be happy to call ICE a customer.
The “F” in FOSS doesn’t stand for fascism.

@… I just installed Tapestry last night and I’m fascinated by the idea.
If this is not the right place to ask please direct me to the best way to contact.
Does it require subscription for handling Mastodon operations like reply/bookmark/etc? (I get an error for each of these)
Does it refresh RSS feeds normally like any other readers?
Does accessing Bluesky require any special setup or sub to work? (Getting an authentication error related to a token)

okay, can people help me find things please? /nm
i SWEAR there was some sort of open-source, collaborative DNS service (possibly endorsed by @…?) but i CANNOT find any trace of it for the LIFE of me and i would really like to try it out :P

Ikea knows the way to my heart. Our new kitchen counter surface looks and feels like untreated wood, but is actually completely fake and waterproof.
And yes, I know Ikea probably isn't the most sustainable source for wooden products, but please give me a break. I can't go full ADD hyperfocus on every single purchase.

Someone really tried to convince me---did they have shares?---to use LLMs:
"It's like having an extra junior programmer at your disposal!"
OMG, not another junior, please!
The only reason to waste your time on a junior programmer, is so that they might learn and grow faster, and in a couple of years the time they cost you, and you invested in them, may just start to pay off. It's always a gamble though. Who is worth "wasting" your precious…

Listen, I love security like the next guy, but can we please stop forcing MFA using just my email? Can you ask me if I want to use email, text, or an app?
I'm so tired of logging into something arbitrary, like a gaming site, and getting hit with "PLEASE PUT IN THIS 6 DIGIT CODE" or worse, it keeps me signed in but makes me put in the code any time I click on something, multiple times. Zero trust is crazy.

Me filing a ticket to IT - can I please get the new version?
IT - no
It's like getting a rubber hammer on a construction site.

Because I constantly hear myths about the good old compact cassette here's a longer post dispelling them:
1. They can sound as good as CDs
2. They don't wear out
3. You can't use a pencil to wind them
4. You can go to specific tracks automatically
5. You don't need to carry around extra batteries
I will elaborate below:
1. Sound Quality
Many higher-end decks can record cassettes on metal tape with various Dolby noise reduction settings; especially the combination of metal tape and Dolby S will make tapes that are pretty much indistinguishable from listening to a CD.
Even normal or chrome tape with Dolby B (around since the 1970s) will give great results; likely indistinguishable from a CD when played in a car or while out and about with a personal player.
Some extremely high-end tape decks produce better than CD results in some regards (for example some Nakamichi models go to 26KHz with frequency response, while CD are inherently limited to top out at 22KHz).
It's true that the dynamic range of CDs is much better than either vinyl records or tapes. However, unless you're super into classical music there's likely not much music for which this truly matters, as 99% is mastered to use much less dynamic range than provided by any audio media format. (If you're super into classical music you probably want SACD or other high-res lossless sources anyway, not CDs.)
2. Yes, it will wear out mechanically but you will wear out mechanically before it does. Please watch VWestlife's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dgJ4hRHBiw
3. European and American pencils are too thin to engage the cassette reel cogs. (You'd need to get a Japanese pencil. People mostly used BIC pens for this purpose which have the right thickness.)
4. Most (nice) decks and personal players from the early-to-mid nineties onwards have track skip features (e.g. Sony has AMS, Automatic Music Sensor), which allow precise winding to a specific track.
Some decks even did this in the early 80s!
5. My late-90s Walkman has seventy-eight (78) hours of playback on one (1) single AA battery.
Anyway, the main reason why I like them is they're fun to use and recording them is very deliberate instead of algorithms selecting music for me. :)

Dear @… , could you please revive @… ? 🥺 Looks like it got stuck.
Love the podcast, keeping me well entertained when I commute and travel. Thank you!

computer: your computer has to restart for updates
me: uh, im in the middle of something; i have 17 things open.
computer: ok would you like to reschedule?
me: yes, tomorrow at 5:30pm
computer: sorry can't reschedule for then.
me: ok, how about tomorrow at 9am
computer: sorry can't reschedule for then.
me: so its "now" or "???". That's not really a fucking choice then is it?

I came home and opened Youtube and this is what my "short video" look like.
Not that I want a "short video" section to begin with but it's that kind of thing you can turn off for a limited time only... a concept I don't really understand but maybe that's just me.

Since my job is stable now and I have saved up some money, I have decided to stop accepting donations via GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi. I would like to thank everyone who helped me over the years. There are people who need the help much more than me right now.
If you needed a suggestion, @… is doing a lot more than me for #Gentoo these days and will certainly appreciate your help. He's also way nicer than I'll ever be.
https://github.com/sponsors/thesamesam
https://ko-fi.com/thesamesam
To the best of my knowledge, Gentoo project does not need extra money right now, but there are other awesome projects such as Disroot or many Fediverse instances that would definitely use some help. However, in general I'd suggest towards supporting individuals rather than projects: people need money to live, and can use your donations directly, while projects are often bound by red tape.
Finally, please support human artists and craftspeople (and I'm counting human software developers in that). Donate to projects and people who resist enshittification and who refuse to use LLMs. They need the money.
Once again, thanks for all.

PLEASE if you're an average iOS user like me, and not super geeky, you need to read the excellent thread below.
DO NOT UPGRADE to 26.4 if you can avoid it.

If you're running a conference, please have a COVID policy that includes mandatory indoor masking for everyone but active presenters.
I, and many people like me, cannot participate in indoor events without _everyone_ masking.
Thank you.

It is frustrating every single time that I see the popular votes versus seats won in Canadian elections.
Especially when you have a party like the Bloc Quebécois who run only in Québec, pull 1.2 million votes in that province, and receive 22 seats in the House, yet the NDP pulls 1.2 million across Canada and gets 7 seats.
All our system does is reward density, rather than delivering actual representation.
But someone please tell me how 'ranked ballots' will fix this*
