HAHAHAHA what the eff? Where does that come from? (I know it’s semi-old because of the vertical toolbar)

Gnome is the best UI there is IMO. Anything else is cluttered, or privacy-invasive, or both.

To push it a bit more contemporary: Peter Cawdron and his "First Contact " series, which is infinite variations (about 30 as of now) of making first contact with an alien sentience of any type.

It’s excellent, and despite being excellent only available on kindle / kindle unlimited because as an independent author, that’s the only way for him to publish & make a buck out if it.

Peter Cawdron is on Mastodon btw

I work them, so I never just go and attend them - the experience is so much better when you’re “in”. I love the interaction, quite love the babysitting part of it even.

Also when I enjoy it, I will tell them & and it always work because artists know that if the local tech found them good, that same dude who see so much stuff day-in, day-out, it (probably) means something.

You meet jerks, of course. You learn to provide them with minimal service, but clean and decent for the public. You meet fantastic people who fail to make it through to the audience, and that’s heartbreaking. You learn to put 200% of yourself into a musical style you don’t enjoy because the dudes on stage are killing it and the audience is loving it - who cares if Jazz Manouche is the most boring, written down and set in stone style ever.

My most stupid interaction was, at the end of a programme that included both Chopin and Steve Reich, to tell the Reich’ piece clarinetist “sometimes, Chopin is boring. Especially in regard to Reich”. The Guy was in agreement lol.

Some magnificent pieces can be had for “only” used cars prices.

Lego’s (I can’t have enough, too expensive)
A full-sized bath (flat is pretty old, they did come with baths then, I love it)

It’s a memorial.

It is important to remember it, to engrave it in stone, for future generations not to forget, before it disappears for ever.

In all the conversation, the one thing I didn’t read about was how good it is to have a laid-back, “nonthreatening” logo. People talk about history, brand, happenstance whatever but not on the positive aspects of having a cartoonish emblem that doesn’t scream “I’m serious” or “I’m valid”.

You are right and I am wrong ; I guess I jumped too fast after the gulf of america thing.

I believe this statement is a protest about apple following the current trend of oligarchy brown-nosing the musk/trump administration and reversing all inclusive and diversity programmes, supports and policies.

Edit: seems to be more about harassment

It’s cute to see the massive amount of “take care of yourself! Your health is more important than work!” on Mastodon, but I feel it is completely beside the point.

I bought my m mac because of the Asahi project ; I wouldn’t buy it today because of apple current stance gulf of what exactly?

?

Ouch. I paid €90 for them.

Features noise cancellation, a delight when in public transportation. Audio conference seems to work good, never had anyone complaining about how I sound. They’re confy enough, charge over USB C. And also, they still can be wired with a standard mini-jack cord.

I’m on Deezer with a family plan that my family is happy about ; I use Murglar 2 to download the music I am paying for.

En France le démarchage téléphonique est autorisé, mais suivant des tranches de numéros spécifiques :

J’utilise Yet Another Call Blocker pour filtrer tout ce qui vient de ce segment, et ma vie est bien plus tranquille.

Tout le monde ne respecte pas la règle évidemment, J’ai encore des cochonneries, mais 1 à 2 par semaine seulement

You can’t deny what she likes ; what you can do is ask her to explain: what is it about it that resonates with her? Can we sit down, turn the volume way down, and spend a few minutes checking out her fav’s in that style while she tells you why she likes that stuff?

(The subtlety here is not asking her to justify herself, but to explain to that out-of-the-loop, quite-geriatric Dear Bro)

Her answers don’t matter much - what matters is asking her to view the topic critically, and verbalise it that so that you “get” that side of her.

Also, “I love you but I fucking hate that shit” can work you know.

Good luck.

By taking care of her. Take initiative, propose movies / games / ice-creams whatever. Things you like, things you think she’ll like. She’s having a hard time reaching out to you, do your best to reach out to her.

It’s not your fault, but it isn’t hers either. Try to have fun together, she’ll get to know how you work and you don’t one step at a time.

Ah je l’ai déjà vue celle-là, “z’y-va explique-moi la théorie du genre pasque je suis trop bête, j’ai pas compris”

Faut supporter le cringe, voire le pathétique.

J’imagine qu’il y a des droitistes articulés (avez-vous lu l’article du WSJ “Next: Defund the UN” que jai posté dans étatsunis ?), mais en général on arrive à de vastes silences accompagnés de “tu vois quoi”, “et tout ça hein” et autres “ouais moi je sais pas bien mais”
