I actually worked at the same place as Andrew Tridgell, over a quarter-century ago. I got to know a few of the OzLabs folks during their immediate post-IBM years, and always had the highest respect for them in that way where you feel acute impostor syndrome when they're in the room. Tridge […]

Proposal that we stop calling them “Human Dogbeds” or by their brand names, and start calling them “Seattle Guest Beds” until it catches on outside the fandom, and normies make up a fake reason why they’re called that.

"Creature" is a perfect word? Affectionate, slightly strange, not gendered, implies deliberate thought behind their existence - the perfect way to address friends! Affectionately saying "Whoah, it's *the* creature! <3" is peak I think

Of note folks, if you see the thing about "Telegram 9.8 flaw!!!" going around: - There is _no_ confirmation of this yet, it's only listed as an "upcoming" vuln without assigned page on ZDI's site. - Media/stickers/calls/etc are _not_ confirmed mechanisms at all, and may have nothing to do with […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116308118238736985 On this front I just realized uh... Folks who want to use #meshtastic devices to communicate at protests? You probably should use a dedicated one that's only for these events and keep it turned off when not at the protest itself. The […]

Folks looking for a replacement for Gboard who don't swipe: check out Heliboard. I'm trying it right now from F-Droid, and it has the exact same layout as Gboard for symbols and such meaning I'm rarely hunting for something on it so far!

Does anyone know of a firefox extension that will show allow you to - add a note to a webpage (a specific URL, not a domain) - show the note automatically when you return to that page, preferably as an overlay atop the page Bonus points if it doesn't clutter bookmarks and syncs between browsers.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Anyone out there good at imagemagick? Trying to take a PNG with transparency, resize the 'canvas' to 512x512 (the input image is guaranteed to be smaller than that) and then save the result as a PNG with transparency preserved and the new pixels also transparent. I have so far: magick .\input […]

If I have an MKV file with multiple audio and subtitle streams, and I want to re-encode it to preserve *all* of the audio and subtitle streams with ffmpeg, how would I go about that? Or is this not a one-liner and something I'd need to use Handbrake for to not go insane?

Trans PSA: if you see a study by "AYAGDOS" (at ayagdos(.)org), avoid it like the plague. It's being run by Lisa Littman and J. Michael Bailey, noted transphobes who have a *long* history of transphobic rhetoric and "research."

When I see art with #avali characters I always think "Ah, yes. Aioli. Delicious."

so it turns out that when VS Code asks you “do you trust the authors of this folder?” what they mean is that it’ll auto-execute .vscode/tasks.json if it exists, which can include shell commands. maybe that’s too many features. you can’t hold all these features. put a few features back

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
