I have to admit it, I have an iPhone 13 and have been happy with it and the associated services. But having now cut all things that rely directly on US services, I am now working on doing it with the phone as well (while retaining some things that can not be supported by a DumbPhone), Here is a start

@milan Hier sind die Preise hochgegangen und die Verfügbarkeit runter, weil die gebrauchten EVs aus Reich-Europa kommen mit dem Autotransporter der mit Diesel läuft, was zur Zeit zu teuer ist und drum läuft der garnicht.

@cwebber one lasagna short of a garfield.

Deux couleurs, calage ok !
C'est bête et ça a l'air de rien, mais c'est pas si simple.

Issue N.17 — Learning Control

Getting a system to work is not the hard part.
Keeping it under control as conditions change is.

AI follows instructions.
Humans don’t always.

The coreutils Rust rewrite story is pretty funny.

Coreutils are tools like rm, mv, mkdir, etc. Unlike binutils, this isn't a fertile ground for memory safety bugs. But, the rewrite was completed, and in the spirit of progress, Canonical decided to switch.

But do you know what coreutils are a fertile ground for? Race conditions around file creation, deletion, permission setting, and so on. The original code accounted for decades of hard-learned lessons in that space. The Rust rewrite did not:

PS. I'm not dunking on Rust. It's just that... starting over from scratch has its hidden costs.

@arstechnica good news for any amd Linux users.

After an "unreasonable" amount of time digging through MechWarrior 2, Bo Bayles discovered two previously unknown cheat codes for unlimited jump jets and an on-screen compass! See how he did it and a list of all the Saturn game's cheats:

@quillmatiq i should learn some indieauth thingy for @ss.lucidillusions.in 😜

also might give me a reason to start using it for blogs again (and not just patreon)

I've said this here before and I'll say it again. I find public celebrations of anyone's illness or death disgusting. No matter how terrible you consider a person to be -- and how terrible they actually are -- they are human beings, often with innocent family and other relatives. It's perfectly appropriate to say that the world is now a better place without them and similar proclamations focused on their actions and behaviors, but sinking down to their level only brings disgrace to you, not to them.
