I do legitimately think that this is just peak computer UX. It is information dense, but still kind of playful.
I'm sure real #ux experts would have a different opinion, but I really enjoy this aesthetic and functionality.

- remembers that a rare situation has happened before and it's able to look up what was done last time if it's the same thing
- able to handle a new situation BY READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

Never trust lawmakers who want to expand surveillance “to protect children”.
It’s never about protecting children.
On this day in 1990, Primal Scream released "Loaded" from their classic Screamadelica album, a euphoric blend of psychedelic rock, house beats, and gospel-inspired vocals and became an anthem of the rave scene.

Remember: when someone tries to tell you that the only Democrats who can be elected are the most corrupt, depersonalized and venal, who agree in principle with Republicans on every policy matter that affects our rights and collective future, you should:
1. shout NO as loud as you can
2. punch upwards with the base of your palm into the chin or solar plexus
3. run as fast as you can in the opposite direction

Holy shit, you're kidding me. Lauren Hart is the new singer for Arch Enemy? You mean THE Lauren Hart of Once Human? Once Human, described even on Wikipedia as a mix of DevilDriver and Arch Enemy, my favourite two bands?
I am SHOCKED. In a very good way. I need to sit down.
This very much means I will finally be able to listen to Arch Enemy again. Oh my god. And I need to see them live again.
😱🤯
Really enjoying this new album from 祝游会, a indie/ math rock band from Shanghai.

Mit wem würdert ihr denn reden, wenn ihr was über Altersnachweise im Internet/die damit verknüpften digitaler-Ausweis-Pläne machen wollen würdet? Fokus wird Luxemburg sein, EU-Perspektive ist natürlich auch super.
Ihr dürft euch gerne auch selbst nominieren. Nur dann müsst ihr auch mit mir reden :)

What I listened to today: "HEEL CENA", Westside Gunn
One more from the ringleader of the Buffalo, NY "Griselda" rap clique. The last one I linked was kinda surreal avant-garde but this is good solid hip hop basics. Fantastic flow and vivid production that feels like it's picking up what trip-hop set down. He has raps about how his kids like Minecraft.
Linking the Bandcamp version which has the bowlderized no-blood cover art. Last time Bluesky actually censored the link
What I'm listening to today: "Gold", Lamb (Autechre remix)
Æ used to do a lot more remixes and had this *fascinating* tendency to find a real particular vibe that resembled neither the source material nor Autechre's regular work but felt consistent with Autechre's other remixes. I really love the flip here about halfway through where the instrumentation suddenly pulls back and it's like an airplane bursting out of clouds or a train pulling out of a tunnel into the open

What is the web I want?
@vasilis asks¹, so here:
I want a web that is accessible.
I want the web that works without issue in a terminal browser like lynx(1) or a light-weight browser like 
@dilloDillo browser, a web that doesn't require 1GB (or even 1MB) of RAM just to display 25KB of actual content.
I want a web that doesn't run random, untrusted code on my machine.
I want a web that doesn't try and track my every movement and click across every site.
I want a web that doesn't require cookie banners on every site.
I want a web that doesn't have popups.
I want a web that doesn't beg for me to sign up for mailing lists.
I want a web that I can mark up semantically and instruct my browser how to style in my own fonts/colors that *I* find most readable.
I want a web that I can deploy on a low-end hosting box for $1/month² that doesn't require cloud-fronting services, CDNs, complex deployments, dozens of frameworks, and a complex build process.
I want a web that doesn't try to shove AI down my throat—whether useless slop content, or pounding on my poor server to scrape what I've created.
I want a web that is simple enough that a single developer could write a new/novel browser.
I want a web that connects people instead of companies inserting themselves between people to extract profit.
I want a web that is passionately crafted with love, not for capitalist motives.
Instead we somehow have [gestures around vaguely]
A thing I do not like about Rust is sometimes an error says "expected an object of type VNode here" and I'm like what is the fully qualified name of VNode? Like I could look it up in the crate documentation if I knew which of the two dozen crates cargo pulled into this project it's from, but I don't. The compiler clearly knows but I don't know how to make it tell me.
these are great for replacing micro/mini USB connectors if you can solder them. Get the MC007, it carries data in both type-C orientations and fits both standard and reversed USB footprints

Hello! I moved from .ART, and I guess this forces me to update my #introduction 
I'm a digital #artist and a software developer. I'm probably known for the new drawing tablet features in the #KDE Plasma 6.x series. I also co-maintain the KDE's Mastodon client Tokodon and their Matrix client NeoChat.
