That thirty million could have been spent on so many things. Like keeping Persona going. Or providing e-mail services to give people a way out of Google and Microsoft. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/introducing-mozilla-ai-investing-in-trustworthy-ai/. What are these executives thinking? (https://jacky.wtf/2023/3/-cvs)
Alternative reality where Eyedea didn't die of accidental overdose. And that had enough impact for Chris Cornell to not kill himself, and that, in turn, made Chester not kill himself. So war never happened. Isn't that how entropy works?
I wonder what music he'd be into if he lived today. Well, yeah, some lyrics do sound immature, but this man didn't even live long enough to be in hist thirties. A perfect example of very talented and deeply troubled mind.

Moscow riot police is doing a crackdown on bars to celebrate Putin's newly found international recognition. They make guests sing "patriotic" songs. What's ironic is that singer of one of the bands in question — Lyube, is rumoured to be a citizen of Germany, or at least was living there for years until he got expelled recently — that's an exemplar Russian patriot for you!
It's not even a proper police-enforced dictatorship, it's like a very dark parody of it 🤦

Some didn't believe we would live to see this. I did!
I wonder if there is a way to reinitialize the output in #cmus without restarting it completely 🤔I have a laptop that I mostly use connected to a TV and alsa is configured so that it uses HDMI output, but when that isn't available it switches to built-in speakers, however cmus doesn't seem to realize that this has happened. Setting output_plugin or dsp.alsa.device doesn't seem to have any effect until it is restarted, not that it takes long, but it would still be nice to avoid that.
I didn't watch anime for a long time. Found this show while ramfomly browsing something else yesterday and it looks entertaining. Apart from a few fuckups like this girl suddenly changing clothes mid-scene (yeah, like cut — and she wears her school uniform instead of clothes she wore before 🤪) and a few weird plot turns, the start is good. Did they really fuck it up halfway through?
Watching The Matrix for the first time in my life. I see this very specific tint of green and think that something is wrong with the metadata, like wrong colorspace… You know it sometimes happens and everything gets purple and pale green.
It took me trying four different devices to play this video and realize… It was supposed to be like this! Damn! 🤣
Wow, Git works surprisingly well for RTF files at least when those are generated by LibreOffice. I knew RTF is human-readable, but I wasn't expecting it to be split into lines properly so even the diffs would make sense. I expected it, despite being basically text, to be a mess comparable to binary files 😅
Do they really place keys on top edge of the trackpad these days in most laptops? When did that happen? 🤯
How do I perform dragging with one hand on that? I thought I stopped "getting it" when they placed the headphone jack on the bottom edge of smartphone, but this… I think I'm going to keep using the laptops I have now for a while…
@calculsoberic Nice nickname!
I have this photo of my cat lying next to "C Programming Language" and "Go Programming Language" books. Looks somewhat relevant 😸

My conquest in pursuit of making Android 12 pull-down thing look less like a knock-off Simple-Dimple toy is almost complete. Some things are still bad about this system, but at least it's bearable to look at now and I'm not using OS build from two years ago, it was poor from security perspective.
I made it tone down on the roundness and brought back transparency and blurs. Thanks to the excellent Iconify customization app and its developer. Some of this stuff is not even in the stable build yet.
