It’s alway a pleasure to break out the Bette Davis meme.

For the folks that still haven't gotten an answer to the #BandCamp questions, here's the short version, with a link. Bandcamp is firing almost all of their engineers. You can also find more evidence in the Bandcamp subreddit, but this, combined with their previous firing of engineers. They have been aquired by, I think, 2 companies now? One after the other? After a sale? But I am not eager to report on this like I am a journalist. I don't do journalism anymore but some links. Link 1. https://www.hypebot.com/new-bandcamp-layoffs-why-artists-are-worried-and-where-to-turn/ Link 2. out of many, https://bsky.app/profile/grmnygrmny.bsky.social/post/3mpgvo7l2v22t

unfortunately the greatest programming language possible was already designed and created on some hobbyist's laptop that they didnt show anyone out of anxiety and abandoned to focus on their paid job optimizing ad reach for a sports betting platform

@Viss I didn't know this, and it almost makes up for Jellyfin still stubbornly refusing to play some MKVs or tell me why it can't/won't play them. (It's some kind of encoding issue somewhere, but I can't figure out what exactly the issue is.)

Is there a particular circle of hell that involves being in close proximity to two people, neither of whom can sing, listening to the same song but slightly out of sync with each other and singing along to what they're hearing and you can't hear what either of them is listening to?

Just wondering. It seems like the kind of thing they'd have there.

i want all of these on linkedin as reactions

bwahahahah

if you try to upvote your own rating of something in jellyfin, you get this error and i feel like this is an error that should literally be a popup modal over all of linkedin, instead of a modal asking for adblocker disabling, use of cookies, or paywalls.

@GuerillaOntologist looking for references for a co-op that is preparing to discuss its policy about AI use. Varying levels of familiarity with llms and tech. What are a few pieces you would recommend specifically with regard to co-ops? (Including your own ;-)

@iChris Perfectly good answer. It’s like: what is my personal blog about? All sorts of things, and it changes as my interests change.

@alexchapman Yeah, so if you didn't run it as a portable in the first place, how would you extract this? I mean, I think I know, but you should share that as well. @ivan_soto

A Florida police officer met a woman on a TV set, surveilled her for weeks, stalked her, and nearly caused a head-on collision while chasing her to pull her over.

@TheBreadmonkey somewhere out there, someone is inventing new testicle torture methods and convincing Tucker Carlson fans to do it willingly

I just hope they’re aware and enjoying living their best life

Sad state of affairs when Graham's efforts were a main reason to oppose Russia's murderous invasion of Ukraine. A regime with courage and morality would have immediately gone all out to stop an invasion of Europe by Russia.

@rysiek this is what happens when the shitlord is displeased.

@mcourcel @ivan_soto Yeah I think that's a bad idea as most people wanna just go through a quick setup wizard and have the program add itself to the desktop and start menu.

@tinker and of course, not to be confused with the excellent 1974 documentary Lord of the Universe about guru Maharaj Ji, his followers (including anti-Vietnam War activist Rennie Davis), and their critics (including Abbie Hoffman.)

This would be a much more sensible reply if I hadn't misremembered the name of the film. For some reason I thought it was also called master of the universe and I had to do a somewhat unreasonable amount of digging to discover is was mistaken.
