We need to normalize declaring software as finished. Not everything needs continuous updates to function. In fact, a minority of software needs this. Most software works as it is written. The code does not run out of date. I want more projects that are actually just finished, without the need to be continuously mutated and complexified ad infinitum.
We can still have good times together

Ok, the Manjaro experience is nice, but it doesn't seem to work with hibernation on an encrypted disk. If you enable encryption and hibernation, it will hang at boot - you need to remove the splash screen to type the password once again - and then it won't resume anyway.
Back to Tumbleweed for now, switching to X11 as it seems it's something related to the amdgpu and Wayland (maybe a regression or some sort of misalignement).

Just curious. If someone you don't trust implicitly to respect your preferences sends you a link to content (primarily a video) with no preview, do you click on the link?

On the 13th, I updated the ilo+graphica.cs to incorporate the design impromements made in the X11 & Wayland versions of the ilo vm's optional minimal graphics mode.
See http://fossils.retroforth.org:8000/ilo/info/3b74cc59aebd3382 for the diff.
On the 14th & today I implemented a rough clone of the Windows 3.1 Program Manager in C#.
See http://fossils.retroforth.org:8000/wintools/dir?ci=tip&name=progman for this.

Ah christ. My husband's suggested I paint a fucking pipe organ.
And I thought my brother was mean with the tuba suggestion (if you have noticed that's not actually what tubas look like no you didn't. I lost track of the swirls and made it up)
also lol at 'pipe organ'

For people interested in #ActivityPub #C2S (client to server), the #GoActivityPub services have gained the ability to dynamically register OAuth2 clients based on RFC7591.
The easiest to test is the ONI project that can be directly run without much setup: https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/oni

Leafcutter ants (according to Wikipedia) are tiny but carry far more than their weight. They’re symbiotic with fungus, which they farm and protect from pests.
They prefer disturbed habitats, which is where a change in environmental conditions causes a pronounced change in an ecosystem.
@postmarketOS is a colony of leafcutter ants.

My girlfriend abandoned me in bed despite my cries and whimpers and pleas for cuddling. She didn’t even pull a switcheroo, swapping a Blahåj for a Becca in my arms, and instead coldly laughed at my suffering and left the room. I am blaming Tim and Craig for turning her into a heartless, soulless capitalist.
Let's play with #nixos
"Goodhart’s Law is really a statement about the process of trying to make policy based on proxy measures of “internal states of complex systems” which are not themselves directly observable. "
Got to this piece from a link from Ben Recht and it finally nailed something that's always bothered me about the constant reference to Goodhart's law across software.

Alright, I finished my first proper blog post about selective applicative functors!
I lay out the theoretical basis for them and how I claim they should model control flow with exclusive determined choice (which is something the existing formulation failed to capture)
https://blog.veritates.love/selective_applicatives_theoretical_basis.html
the key insight necessary to make it work for N-ary branching is to consider arrows (composable profunctors) instead of functors in isolation, because casing on an Either is about the domain not the codomain
the resulting structure is related to near-semirings, but in a different way than Alternative is (as that encodes nondeterministic choice)

The UK Online Safety Act is a mess. MPs are debating the petition for its repeal now.
ORG calls for a rights-based approach:
Limit its scope to minimise threats to freedom of expression/small sites, and regulate age verification providers to protect privacy.

Half my German colleagues are dropping like flies from an apparently heavily mutated Influenza A variant. Most did not get vaccinated (neither against flu nor Covid), and most had Covid in the last couple of months. I fear this season is going to hit hard. And everyone is going to be surprised of why people are getting so sick and take ages to recover…
By the way - masks also help prevent the spread of flu. Just saying…

Honorary Reindeer Ft. @kitaine.art@bsky.brid.gy!!
today I discovered that a whole stack of my personal files, including multiple books I had written and performances recorded, were no longer on my hard drive, because Windows had deleted them "to free up space" and only kept the copies on their onedrive server. That's not a backup. That's deleting my work without asking me. I'm switching to Linux.
