@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I feel the same way about KDE 😅
I know it's some leftover from the times when having an mp3 playing in the background had a noticeable performance impact. But since then I always ask myself, does this really let me use the computer in a better way? If not, why have it?
I use a laptop that is almost 10 years old and I'm really happy that with this approach it's 98,5 idle even when I have Element Web open in Firefox. Battery life is excellent as it's not wasted on some cruft.

@keithzg Ha-ha-ha, right! File formats for too distant future here 😅
I really wonder though — well, they'll definitely figure out it's a wave, but what's a second to them? What if they perceive loudness differently, not like logarithmic=linear? They find this opera record, spend some time on analysis, put it on and it sounds like chopped'n'screwed hip-hop to them. And they are like: how did those guys even enjoy this? Or… genuinely find it cool! 🤣

> that'd be easier for future generations to work out decoding thereof from the mere bits
On the surface "uncompressed" formats are easier to understand, but a lot of stuff about images and audio is about how we perceive color and sound. E.g. most humans hear sounds up to 20 kHz so by Niquist we have 44.1k samples/sec enough to represent it in digital, but what if it's some other species or human brain changed. Will that be obvious to them?
@ewankeep

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org That's because a lot of people do not follow the "Do not feed the troll" principle 😂

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I guess that Namibian prince thing didn't go very well? 😅

@blumlaut Not Twitter only, every single website does that! This baffles me: first they want to have more of my personal data — fill every single field, then they want me to have upper and lower case letters, numbers and an asterisk in my password, change it every week, use 2FA, etc to "protect my data". Fuck that! I was just fine having "password" as my password and no personal data linked to my account, what was wrong with that?

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @david I've shot an alternative ending of this show. The cast and some props might be a bit off, consider it something like a Snyder's cut 😹

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Enough with the traffic jams for today, time to sleep 😸

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I was thinking about buying a card like this for my old Mac Pro that doesn't have USB 3.0 ports. Maybe with some eSATA ports too. But then I relized that 4 x 4Tb hard disks I have in this thing is more than enough storage for me, I use USB for devices like mice only anyway, so gave up on the idea 😅

@River_Stone If you don't push yourself too hard and increase the number gradually, there is a non-zero chance you'll eventually like doing push-ups 🤣@fluffy

@vikingkong Yeah, and it makes it even weirder, considering how easy they are on deprecating things.

@vikingkong True! I always disable it when I build Python myself, but it's still there for some reason 🤷🏿

@sneak You're under arrest for not being cold-blooded! 🦎

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org I think Tcl/Tk is still a part of Python's standard library as a standard way to do GUI things.

@eris That's odd! I have ~30 sessions and it never happened to me. It does bug me every time if I have unverified sessions, but once I verify them, it's gone.

@eris Videocards like GF3 Ti had only 64 Mb video RAM?! 😯
OMG, it was so long ago!

Это вполне нормально — как и к тем, которых в Интернете нет.

Too hot to do cat things™ today. They are taking a day off 😸

@birnim@fosstodon.org
2.96 WAS horrible! I remember seeing this version in RedHat, but I wanted to build it myself, so I went to the GCC website, but there were no sources for 2.96. I looked it up and then I've realized how bad it was. Who could ever come up with such an idea?! 🤪
