Another easy run done. 11km @6:00 km/min.

It's getting colder every day (-2ยฐC) and my gloves aren't really helping, I need to buy a warmer pair soon!

#SNAPS are UNSAFE to use, because they are a proprietary (not open) tech and the single company that makes them FORCES us to swallow their load. NO THANKS! NO MORE #UBUNTU FOR ME! I banned #CANONICAL from every Server under my control . #DEBIAN or similar free #distros is the way to go.

Since it is vibecoded, who is going to figure out if the tool is also safe?


Hannah and I did hang out a bit when we were both first doing some comedy. I remember after one of her shows walking up to her to say "hi", when she jumped behind me in order to be saved from a couple she said were, "freaking her out". Even after such a dramatic moment, I don't think she would remember me now. Nevertheless, this is DARN FUNNY!

synth piano: oh that sounds pretty decent actually
synth strings: mmm, i can see what they're going for
synth percussion: is this what audiophiles mean when they say CDs sound colder than vinyl
synth woodwind: oh ok that's... creative
synth brass: ...well it's better than making a "bwaa" sound into a microphone... kind of
in reply to Lynnesbian

here's a small section of a song i'm working on. i'll play the section twice. see if you can work out which version is using the musescore brass sounds based on actual recorded instruments, and which is using the MIDI synthesiser
in reply to Lynnesbian

yes the synth brass is WAY louder than the recorded one. no i don't know why

I don't see this getting reverted, too many people get lost when they are redirected away from their server.


The open source vim-like spreadsheet program sc-im is wonderful to work with. If you use Vim regularly, it quickly becomes intuitive.

sc-im is entirely viable as a LibreOffice Calc or Microsoft Office Excel alternative in the terminal. It even supports embedded Lua scripting. It's a one-man passion project that really needs more hands.

I am afraid that I must agree, it is not a very good sign that they need to do this.

But then again, all the money seems to go directly to the preservation-efforts, right? And not the store itself?

The 3rd goal says "Build the ultimate classics platform", and I guess that could mean the store itself ๐Ÿค”

"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?

Jesus fucking Christ, I'd forgotten how genuinely awful open source graphics and design apps are at, well everything, but specifically text design. Undo, redo, copy, and paste regularly broken.

Then when you decide to do things manually you get this shit

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason

Please explain to me how complaining about free software that countless people like myself contributed to and calling it awful and shit don't make you a d*#k but pointing that out to you makes me d#*k?
in reply to Moha

You came into my mentions and spoke to me specifically and directly. That's a major difference

Open source design and photography software are notoriously resistant to feedback about design, usability, and bugs, even to the point of responding with outright hostility. I've been burned several times before

There's plenty of great open source software that pays attention to UX and listens to end users. But there is something specifically dysfunctional in design and photography OSS

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason

Maybe a more constructive way is to pay them first and then expect them to get better? I mean these people work on these apps primarily for free, so don't call their enthusiasm and hard work shit please, be more supportive.
in reply to Baldur Bjarnason

I understand, it's not like I didn't ever have my struggles with oss. But also the community matters, maybe there is a reason some oss got better eg. Blender or Kdenlive and some not much.

Regardless, it's always fair to point out the issues or complain about them but devaluing the work of 10s or 100s of developers is not fair IMHO.

Rob Reiner and his Wife Dead...


People Magazine Sources say that they were Killed By His Son?

This is Shocking....

#OurModernTimes #RobReiner

in reply to Joseph Teller

We've been robbed. He was 78 and could have died at any moment to natural causes. However, murder robbed us of whatever time he had left and the marvelous contributions he could have made.
in reply to Joseph Teller

We lost a voice of reason for certain. I read how he and his wife died. His son deserves life in jail or worse for such a horrible way to kill his parents.
