MS has taken a lot from me, but it can’t take away these memories.
I did this shit.

I did this shit.
I went for a walk this morning as the river is still a bit high for rowing and I needed some extra sleep. I took my walking poles today, and managed another 5km or so. I was limping pretty badly by the end and relying on the poles to walk straight. But hey… done. Got some high ratio 1ks on the erg tomorrow evening, so mustn’t grumble, eh?

I used to run marathons and now find running incredibly difficult. I do still run (after a fashion), and I row and swim and things. I’m pretty active, and I try to look forwards and to be positive…. But sometimes it’s hard.

IT-ler warnen seit Jahren: Microsoft zieht alles in Richtung totaler Abhängigkeit. Cloud-Zwang, Abo-Fallen, geschlossene Systeme – und am Ende liegen sämtliche Daten bei einem Konzern, der ständig Standards bricht und seine Kunden vor sich hertreibt. Behörden und Unternehmen? Statt konsequent Alternativen aufzubauen, biegen sie ihre Abläufe so zurecht, dass Microsofts nächste Zumutung gerade noch erträglich wirkt. In ein paar Jahren gibt es dann nur noch Cloud-only. Und dann? Dann wird wieder laut geklagt – aber echte Alternativen hat man trotzdem nicht aufgebaut. Das ist das eigentliche Versagen.

For some time (2 - 3 yrs?) I've worried about the "veteran tech" folks who've taken senior roles at Mozilla.
Putting folks from #Google, #MS, #Salesforce, #Airbnb, #Meta, etc in charge seems antithetical to Mozilla's mission of "building a better internet."
I'd installed FF when Google was paying users to install FF circa 2005.*
And after 20 years, I switched to Vivaldi early this year.

I'm still of the opinion that we need an organisational fork of Mozilla, preferably not domiciled in the US.
We have technical forks like librewolf, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for new stewards of the upstream code. Although perhaps if the forks want to consider how they'd become a hard fork, with an organisational structure that would work too.
Mozilla is a product of it's surroundings. It's surroundings was silicon valley and well 🤷♀️

Is there a way to auto-expand long posts on the feed and notifications? Clicking that little triangle on so many posts is so annoying lol. I'd rather just see whole posts wherever possible. It's not like I can't hide them or block if someone abuses posts by making something absurdly long anyway. #ms #question
Today is a big day for DOS emulation, now we have 100% authentic Sound Canvas (Roland SC-55) emulation in Staging via Nuked SC-55 🥳 🎉 🍻 🎊
Grab the latest dev build from here:
https://www.dosbox-staging.org/releases/development-builds/
Then follow the installation instructions from the PR below:
Search "manual testing" and follow the steps under "usage" (this will be more streamlined in the final; the plugin (without the ROM files) will be included in the distribution package)
