Say I’d like to #mask again, in the train and in the line at the cafeteria, for my own protection only. I wear glasses and have a goatee (Walther White style, but not as good-looking.) Is there a comfortable mask, ideally with an exhalation valve to avoid fugging up my glasses, potentially […]

We #adhd folks should start calling all the useless knowledge we gathered while avoiding other work and/or while in hyperfocus „collateral knowledge“

No, Confluence, I don’t want to hide the fucking sidebar. I want to make it smaller, that’s why I dragged it until it was SMALLER! I’ve been using computers since before any of your “software engineers” were born, I know how a GUI works. I didn’t want to be […] [Original post on tooting.ch]

@lashman I noticed it’s been as long time since you posted some pouvez are. Is everything alright? I hope you’re just busy.

did *you* know that you can edge mount XLR connectors on 1.6mm PCBs?! it's a perfect fit!

what I am advocating here is for open-platforms people to *understand the problems* that other platforms are solving. Linux is ascendant. Thanks to Valve (or maybe, thanks to Microsoft Copilot) we're conservatively going to have another hundred million Linux users in the next few years. I want […]

https://lap.dev/lapce/ Wow, this thing is a joke. Native GUI? There isn’t even a menu bar. And it opens in dark mode. Rust powered performance? Switching from the git bar to the file explorer takes one second. Resizing the sidebar lags by one second.

There’s something I don’t understand: On the one hand, they say LLMs were trained on all the internet. On the other hand, they keep telling you things like “you are perfectly right” or “you are very smart.” So which one is it? #ai #llm #internet

Lots of things going on in the world of AI this week! It turns out LLMs in the medical world aren't delivering the results promised (by Geoffrey Hinton, among others), and what's the deal with the AI bubble? Plus a lot of AI reading tips, so if Santa/Sint needs to fill some socks/shoes with […]

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough. For example I don't think I'm that strange or remarkable for owning a about 800 books. I know a lot of people with more. But if you look for design ideas for books it's not like […]

If you're the person who spunked £500 down and properly outbid me on the CSI / CSA Transputer Education Kit on Ebay UK a few weeks ago, I have just one question... ... can I please have a copy of the software disks, and some photos of the ISA card? If you can't do mastodon, my email address is […]

I got the mail today, but it was only bills. I went to the bank, and asked for money from my account, but they gave me more bills. Then I went to a restaurant. They gave me a check, so I gave them bills, but they didn't want the ones I got in the mail. On the other hand, the electric company and […]

We are reaching the point where Idiocracy will be considered as an utopia because, in the movie, government is honestly trying to solve real problems of the citizen. And health checkup is free. And, if you don’t have valid papers, you can simply ask a machine for them. (even if you were not […]

Way, the Bellway system in #silksong its a pun on “beltway?” I found out through autocorrect. 😅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltway

I need a mod for #silksong where it’s just travelling between bellway stations, exploring the various sceneries, talking to people, and sitting on benches, in small levels with no enemies and only trivial platforming (where jumps are constrained with a wall, so you can’t miss.)
