Have you ever heard of #CDLC format for guitar “sheet” music? It’s been on my TODO list to look into for months, but reading your post brought it to mind. It’s basically what Rocksmith used, and there are players and ways to write your own.

customsforge.com/ is supposed to be a good resource.

Alcohol consumption is the 3rd leading preventable cause of cancer.

Risk communication scientists have been talking about this for a long time, but it’s v interesting to see this as the top headline at NYT. It’s about time. nytimes.com/2025/01/03/health/… #science #health

It's also the one that isn't just socially acceptable, but actively pushed. We've stopped pretending that smoking is "cool", but drinking alcohol is something you "have to do as a real adult" in most cultures and media.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

actually... we've known all this for decades

it's not news & it's distraction from the reality that the leading cause of the low life expectancy in the US is the paywall around health care

they also drink, drug, & smoke in Europe, where lifespans are much longer than the US

but why allow an American any small pleasure in their short, miserable life if an oligarch enjoys watching us die in misery?

I’m pretty glad that they are continuing to let people play this game outside of the Windows OS without any worries!

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

The Bethesda ones are basically unplayable without mods. How's the rest? Until You Fall was great.

For Christmas I asked my girlfriend's sister to make a painting of me riding my cat Fishy into battle. I didn't expect her to actually do it, but please take a look at this absolute masterpiece she created. Words cannot express how much I love it.


Frank Thorp V has some great photos on Instagram of members of the 118th Congress (including the alleged sex offender Matt Gaetz): instagram.com/p/DERDRj7x53l/?i…

Gorgeous 4x5 results. I want to figure out what lens he's using. It used to be an Aero Ektar but I'm guessing he might have replaced it for the same reason I did.

I find it difficult to believe anyone looks at photos on Instagram... There's no way to zoom in, they're displayed on a tiny portion of my screen.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Fair, I might be alone in that. But even spend so little time with most of them, and I consider myself to be pretty dedicated to actually looking at them. Instagram is a cesspit these days, the usual complaints, etc.

as one of those that did last year's survey on Windows, and this year's survey on Arch Linux: Woot 😀

Windows 11 is *such* a shitshow, and Proton is such a game changer, I suspect (ok, #hope) that it's the start of a prolonged trend.

2025 as the Year of Linux Desktop? Obviously not, but maybe we the needle starts moving this year

Ghostty is a terminal emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and native.

While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three.

This is and has been my approach to life...."Why are you saving it on a pedestal if you are never going to use it?"

I've never understood that sort of thing, but I do believe in having backup/replacement things... 😀

in reply to Muse

My stepmom had like 12 full sets of china because the family kept dumping them on her whenever someone died or downsized. She always took it because it was an "heirloom" but they just sat in a cupboard where no one could see them. She brought out one set for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and that was it. She just moved house so I'm hoping she offloaded some or all of them. (They were all hideous)


I am here to announce that I have decreased #spam on my web contact form from 1 message every 15 minutes (for months straight) to 0 messages in the last week by adding a "I am a spam bot" radio button.

I am not joking.

No I am not using something like ReCaptcha, I literally just added a radio button to the list.

If you add several hidden input fields rendered invisible with CSS so the user doesn't select them, the spam bots often will select them and fill them out.


Whenever I find myself feeling concerned about the future of life on Earth, I’m comforted thinking of the humble tardigrade.

Sure, humans may not be here long in the grand scheme of things, but water bears will certainly persevere for millions of years after we’re gone.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

We can only hope the tardigrades don't invent capitalism, lest they share our same demise.

I do have a couple of fancy ones I'll likely never use ... Both for art/drawing and writing.

That reminds me. Need to buy another sketch book for ideas.
