@oku_yama_old Да, вижу, но ни один пост не закреплён.

> TASS traces its history back to 1904 when it was founded as the St Petersburg Telegraph Agency, the first official news agency of Russia. It has retained its Soviet-era name, whose initials stand for Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union.
Not only the name 🤣
Most didn't realize why it was so important to get rid of these monuments and toponyms:
— We have to do it so we never go back there
— It's not going to happen anyway! You're just paranoid!
But then it all came together.
@yukiame AI-generated cat? 😹

What motivated me was that erlang (and elixir) could be built for PowerPC — otherwise I'd probably still do my best to stay out of this shit 😅

@mjdxp What's called AI today isn't exactly new — neural networks were there all the time (I've been using libfann for OCR myself 15 years ago or so), it's just that computing resources and huge data sets weren't where. People still like what NN can do, what they don't like is mass surveillance and large scale data collection — the things companies kept pushing all the time. They've just tried to give it a new "AI" flair and some people kinda liked that. Now they have realized that it's same old and they don't like it anymore.
Same with cryptocurrencies — the idea is awesome, it allowed people to have currencies outside of central banking system, but they've never been used in this regard — only as an intermediate payment system. Most of it is petty trading: spend $1, gain 2 — lose 20 tomorrow, when people fuck up with that and they want some sort of regulation as a safety net and this takes us to square one.
The technologies aren't themselves bad, they are just prone to being used in wrong ways — that is what made some of us skeptical since they were just getting started to be adopted.
For example, I like fingerprints readers — it's better than password for unlocking computer, if someone wants to get in real bad — neither will stop them alone. But I don't want it to be used to protect more sensitive data — for computer that you're using to shitpost that will do, but not for accessing your bank account, and I definitely don't want biometric data to be stored outside of my computer — once that gets stolen, you're fucked: you can't change your face or fingerprints as easily as you can change your password.

@neural_meduza Хорошо бы, но нет — похоже, что больше они хотят оставить для россиян адский котёл, который уже существует.

Why do I keep replying to you with random songs? I just want everyone to have a theme song 😅
@puniko And rely on S-expressions more than on that filthy JSON!
@Zerglingman It's good!
Speaking of Melbourne, Australia, here is another one I enjoy a lot: https://jackharlon-dawsonthedeadcrows.bandcamp.com/album/the-magnetic-ridge
It's also stoner/psychedelic, unlike DT's more clear "sober" sound, this one, not unlike all stoner rock, is heavily processed, it's dreamy, but it's trippy-dreamy — I'm not sure that it's your cup of tea.
But it's story, or at least atmosphere, driven and quite interesting — it has a few highlights, but all album as a whole just flows really well together, I like that.
@devxvda Or them!

@music But I use Sway and a very minimal Wayland-native software set, had I been trying to use a DAW with external plugins, I'd go nuts probably 🤪
You rarely want to deal with this stuff when you want to be into music, not into computers. That is why I still have my Mac Pro for these tasks 😅
@chimera@infosec.exchange
@music You're right, scaling issue isn't exactly new, it's handled this bad because of legacy code accumulated throughout all these years, it was done one way, later another way and now there is something even newer.
Software that has little to no legacy code generally handles scaling well, I hook up my laptop to a TV, issue a single swaymsg command and I'm all set, even non-integer values for scaling work well with a few exceptions, x2 is never a problem.

HiDPI mode is a quirk in every system, with Linux, like Thor said, it's lack of testing that kicks in. Most of this software is non-commercial, most don't have dedicated testing teams and pool of hardware to test it on. The devs will often gladly fix these things, but won't go great lengths to figure them out before you even encounter them. You get a lot of stuff for free, but you become the tester 🤷
@music
@chimera@infosec.exchange They pose problems for every system, in Windows you have to disable HiDPI mode to use non-standard scaling if you want legacy apps to not look like pixelated mess — everything gets small, but at least the text is readable.
Mac OS X is just slightly better at this because the technology was fundamentally there, they could have gone for complete resolution independency after 10.5 but fucked it up big time.
@music
@Zerglingman Yeah, same here. But I am listening to very little of such music in general nowadays. The closest to prog I listen to these days is probably Mars Volta and Tool, maybe some King Crimson — but that is far shot from DT.
I like these guys a lot: https://elephanttreeband.bandcamp.com/album/habits
They are different too — more like stoner I suppose, but I really enjoy both their albums: this one and the self-titled. They have that spirit of old-school rock music, but sound fresh at the same time.
@Zerglingman Thanks, will listen once Awake I have managed to find and put in the CD player finishes playing.
I'd also like to listen to some Liquid Tension, but I've only had one album and I haven't seen that CD for well over a decade, I think someone "borrowed" it and there it went 😔
Maybe I'll partake in some piracy later today 👉👈
Thanks for the link again!
@Zerglingman s/hate/have/ of course, I love it!
@Zerglingman
OMG, I hate DT on CD somewhere and I haven't listened to it in ages!
