I will never understand how the project that respected licenses and trademarks so much that they forked the entire #Mozilla stack to comply ever decided that #AI usage could ever be considered ethical.

I have many machines that are somehow related to @pidgin's development and the vast majority of them run #debian. To keep #AI out of #Pidgin, I now I need to find a new distribution. This is yet another example of me having to pay into the #AI time deficit. 🙄

@marcoarment I don’t understand the ads in Maps at all. What is the upside… like best case scenario would be a few hundred million dollars a year? That’s not nothing, but barely moves needle for Apple.

One of my 3 wishes would be to be able to sleep like a cat

Sometimes, when I'm feeling nostalgic, I track down really shaky Sony Handycam video of metalcore bands in small rooms raging with like 30 people in the crowd.

I present to you Norma Jean in 2002.

The horrific disaster in Nepal, the loss, a region suddenly both unlivable and unrecognisable, hints at the scale of what we are doing to the planet as a function of climate destruction.

@NanoRaptor so that's why the screen saver is flying toasters

I didn't say Trump was going to take over Canada - Donald Trump did. And so long as that's true, I'm not assuming he's joking. The man does not joke. He does not have a sense of humor the way normal sane people do. He is not joking.

Now does his appetite exceed his grasp? YES, OFTEN - notice that Iran still exists?

But as for his intentions? Trump intends to take over Canada. You can bet your ass on that.

Had a fun day in Burlington today. Such a wonderful city. The lake is so nice.

Finally made it to the Switchback Brewing Company! I love their ale. It’s my favorite beer!

@SynAck it’s an app I’ve been working on for months.

Still some work to do.

As for annexing or invading Canada - look mates. I been doing this, with this man, for like 12 years now. I know this guy. And what I can tell you about this guy is that everything is a trial balloon, he thinks every idea that pops into his head is the best idea that ever happened to anyone, and he absolutely NEVER gives up on any dumb insane Nazi idea he has. I have gotten the right answers re: Trumpism by listening to what he says and believing him when what he says is awful nazi shit.

@quephird I feel like you'd appreciate I used Orinico Flow as an example here https://www.mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/2026/08/25/how-i-fixed-an-mt-32-midi-soundtrack-for-the-hardware-i-use/

@quephird @brooke I haven't used it for Steam in a bit, but Crossover is what I've seen people suggest. I know that for a bit Whisky was popular (it built on Game Porting Kit) but it's been discontinued.

@Graphite released a new version and they just made an overview video about all the things they fixed. Excited for this software to bring real competition to the vector editing space. Finally!
