@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yea I can! I

hey! i asked this a while ago but i have to ask again – is anyone willing to offer space on their yarn pod to my friend? i would love to invite her to my own but she’s unable to access my site for personal reasons. she’s really interested in seeing what yarn is about so if anyone is willing and able, let me know!

I’m watching #TheOrville. Some ideas are interesting but the sense of humor isn’t really to my taste. Maybe a bit on the nose, could I phrase it that way? And the clumsy stuff makes me feel nervous instead of making me laugh.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org (It’s either that, or the fact that it’s women’s football and “nobody wants to see that anyway”.)

In all fairness, GOG says that Forsaken is only supported on Ubuntu 16.04 – not current Arch Linux. If you ask me, this just goes to show that Linux is not a good platform for proprietary binary software.

Is it free software, do you have the source code? Then you’re good to go, things can be patched/updated (that can still be a lot of work). But proprietary binary blobs? Very bad idea.

I bought the “remastered” versions of Grim Fandango and Forsaken on GOG, because they’re super cheap at the moment. Both have native Linux versions.

And both these Linux version crap their pants. 🫤 The bundled SDL2 of Forsaken says it “can’t find a matching GLX visual” and I couldn’t figure out how to fix that. I didn’t spend a lot of time on Grim Fandango.

Both work great in Wine. 🤦

(I do have the original version of Grim Fandango from the 1990ies, but that one does not work so well in Wine. I figured, if it’s so cheap, why not. And I now get to play the english version. 😃 The german dub is pretty damn good, actually, but I always prefer the original these days.)

How you can tell a “review post” on some random website was written by AI?

Ergonomically nicer than its binocular counterpart

How exactly is this a reason to avoid?! 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I have to say, this sounds much worse than our stuff at work. 🫩 (We don’t use any Microsoft services, at least not for core tools.)

Okay, now this is a very interesting Rust feature:

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/07/03/stabilizing-naked-functions/

This (and inline assembly) makes Rust really interesting for very low-level stuff. 🥳

E aqui fica o estudo citado - ou aliás, fielmente decalcado - que tem bastante mais cuidado do que Tito & Cristiane na hora de admitir as suas limitações

https://antibullyingcentre.ie/publication/restriction-or-resilience-smartphone-bans-in-schools-a-qualitative-study-on-the-experiences-of-students/

Sem palavras pra descrever esta baixeza de artigo:

https://www.publico.pt/2025/07/04/impar/opiniao/banir-smartphones-escolas-impacto-bemestar-2138957?cx=ultimas_1

1. é citado um único estudo baseado em testemunhos de alunos (ficam de fora pais e profs), um estudo qualitativo por isso não generalizável. Mm assim, os autores do artigo copiam as conclusões do estudo, e o Público tb parece estar ok com artigos decalcados

2. os autores do artigo são consultores que dão formação a pais e educadores sobre problemas do digital nas crianças, por isso basear opinião apenas num estudo q os ignora é ainda mais wtf

3. argumento de q crianças têm acesso a dispositivos fora da escola é parvo - tb têm acesso a tabaco e álcool, por isso tb os devemos permitir na escola? come on

4. e é muito conveniente clamar pela regulamentação das redes sociais sem especificar a forma (proibir anúncios? introduzir idades mínimas? não sabemos).

No final é o costume, os pais e profs que se desenmerdem, a responsabilidade é deles e não das empresas que criam mecanismos de viciação, claro

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :‘-(

At work, too. For a few weeks now when I try to log into this horrible Outlook web intershit (Because why would they fix the Evolution integration?! It’s cactus for well over a year now. Probably more like two.), it forwards me to the corporate weblogin, I enter my credentials, even do the bloody MFA crap and get redirected back to Outlook. “Loading mailbox…” “Please wait for us to log you out, do not close this window while this process is underway.” Fuck you! I have to delete the cookies for this damn domain each and every fucking time. Otherwise, this goes in circles forever. I tried the game for 15 minutes, no joke.

But wait, there’s more! Why just fuck it up only a little bit? This week I get logged out at the middle of the day. Every. Single. Day. Not even close to eight hours since I started, no. What the hell!? I reckon I just don’t even bother reauthenticating anymore in the arvo. No more e-mails for Lyse after lunch. Fuck it. It’s just distraction, anyway, right?!

It wasn’t all that busy tonight. Maybe also 500 fireflies, but the route was longer. Not sure if I accidentally kicked a frog or toad one and a half meters away or whether it jumped on its own. It was too dark to see properly out of the corner of my eye. :-(

It took about a year, I think, but I’ve now finished another run of Tomb Raider I, II, and III. And I have, for the first time, played the two bonus packs “Unfinished Business” (for TR I) and “Golden Mask” (for TR II). They’re available as a free download, if you have the original games. (The bonus pack for TR III is not free.)

I just love these games – and the game mechanics. It’s just the right balance between challenging and relaxing.

https://movq.de/v/c55a2a137d/the%2Dend.jpg

What kind of half-assed nonsense is this? They only broadcast half of the current european soccer cup … (Let me guess, I’m supposed to subscribe to some streaming service if I want to watch every game, right?)

This aggressive auto-logout on my bank’s website …

Dude, you want me to print something, sign it, and scan it back in. This takes forever and I’ll have to re-login a dozen times. Narf.

@prologic@twtxt.net That too, yeah. 🥴😩

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Because we keep fucking with the planet’s environment and climate patterns? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Bah! Why can’t we all have mild weather. 🥲

Is des äni Hitz!

We’re feeling some pretty intense winds up here in Brisbane too right on the outer edge which are exceeding 100 km an hour winds 🤣

Feeling a bit bad for the folks and Coffs Harbor and on the coast of Sydney right now 🤯

The lid is on and the first saw brackets are done. Let’s see how impractical they are. I might have to add heavy chamfers to better guide them in.

I added 07 to 11: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/hobelbankschubladen/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net I never saw that. Neither the website nor the logo. I like the old one more, although I have to admit the story behind the new one is actually really cool: https://www.sudo.ws/about/logo/

I didn’t manage to leave the house yesterday. But when I went into the woods this evening, activity first was 10% of what it had been the day before yesterday. By the end it got a lot busier, about 50% of last time I reckon. Around 500 fireflies I’d imagine. I might have been faster than the days before. When I left the forest, I was right in the fog, that was cool.

Shortly after, I saw another lightshow. Right behind the Wasserberghaus somewhere on the Swabian Alp there was very crazy heat lightning every 5-10 seconds. That looked absolutely amazing. :-)

TIL that there is a dedicated page for sudo. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yay, heat. 🫠

TIL: The logo of sudo is a sandwich. 🫠 https://www.sudo.ws/

/ME feels like melting fater than a bowl of Icecream. Weeeeee… 🫠😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Heey… Welcome back!! 🫡 How was the trip? I Hope you’ve had a good time!

Cheers @danzin@danzin, was it you who added a PR to core #Python about pprint?

(listening to #corepy #podcast)

Update: Thank you so much for improving Python @danzin@danzin !

@prologic@twtxt.net I like the last two, on the first three you sent. I looked up “Canarvon Gorge”, and read more about it. Thanks for introducing me to it!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I love them! :-D

@prologic@twtxt.net This looks really nice! I love the view. For a brief second, the rock in the left bottom corner of the first photo reminded me of a croc tail. These are some massive cliffs, I get the impression that walking down there feels cool during the heat. Yeah, it’s winter over there, but it cooled me off by just looking at it. :-) Oh no, somebody lost their hat.

Heck yeah, I’ve been a firefly taxi again! \o/ One landed on my hiking boot and rode along a few meters. It then took off on its own without me having to help it. I saw easily a thousand glowing individuals tonight, bloody cool. :-)
