good news: the $300 cashies laptop can run the jetbrains IDEs 🎉

bad news: i have never seen a progress bar for highlighting text before and it scares me

in reply to Lynnesbian

to be fair to the cashies laptop... i double-clicked a word in the middle of a several hundred line proc macro invocation while it was still indexing.

to be UNFAIR to the cashies laptop... nay. i couldn't. i love you for who you are, Intel® Core™ i5 1135G7 and all.

So I'm having a very large, very slow clearout.

I want to get rid of my stuff with minimal use of evil corporate platforms so I'm trying out listing it on my own website.

My sale site is here: epic-attic.co.uk

I've got about 35 items listed so far, maybe 100 or so more to come, once I've taken photos and so on.

This is a real #smallweb project! You have to email me to buy/claim stuff there's no checkout and no tracking or scripts of any sort. EDIT( I just remembered there is one js script to run the image gallery, but it is entirely local and doesn't send or request data anywhere.)

I think we need a hashtag for selling and giving away stuff in the UK (for non business stuff)

What about #SecondHandUK ?

I thought ukForSale initially but that sounds like a political statement.

Is anyone else selling off their excess stuff in the UK? Should we start a #webring?

We got rid of (most of) the leaded gas but the children, they yearn for lead. And thus, a new study shows that 1) Gen X is fucked thanks to their childhood lead exposure and 2) younger generations are sucking on vapes that are chock full of the shit 🧪 skepchick.org/2025/07/lead-stu…


Meanwhile back in Inverness, bus stops are telling it like it is. ..


Web publishing is facing its next challenge: a new iteration of centralizing platforms. BUT there is also a new wave of open protocols and standards that can help us gain our independence. Next month in NYC we are gathering a group of frontier technologists and popular web publishers to discuss how we can sail into this next platform shift as captains. #ProtocolsForPublishers

in reply to Chad Kohalyk

I think the most important open protocol for publishers is #ActivityPub. Seems like nobody at the event is representing it. Is the event potentially open to other parties? cc @evan @andypiper
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron @evan I think @ben should definitely be involved in this! And I can think of a number of others. The social web and W3C standards ought to be a major part of that conversation, I would hope.


On a more positive note, here’s some new amazing music from an amazing artist you’ve probably never heard of.

Is there a Small/medium business hosted solution for Nextcloud? Not self-hosted. Your website doesn't really mention it it seems to me.

@Pascal_dher

We work with trusted partners that offer reliable hosting solutions. You can find them here: nextcloud.com/partners/

Of course Microsoft OneCloud almost like googleCloud is a worker's worse nightmare. Everytime you open «the thing» things are never in the same place!
Just don't forget ownCloud - share files and folders, easy and secure
owncloud.com/ although not so much feature-rich is still a solid and clean option! Just set it up, forget it (no 3rd party add-ons dependencies to worry about) and go on with your life! @nextcloud @ownclouders

The Second half of this video is all 'trend analysis' rather than actual fact. But the layoffs have happened in the oil industry and refineries are closing down, that I was able to Verify.

Older distros:

$ make love
Don't know how to make love
stop

$ man where is your wife?
man: wife not found

Newer Debian based ones:

$ sudo apt-get install sl
$ sl

$ sudo apt-get install fortune
$ /use/games/fortune

Approximately every system where I have root access has /usr/games/fortune installed, usually aliased to "ok" at the command line.

These are the beautiful spore-producing structures of plasmodial slime molds. Which is your favourite colour?

Originally considered Fungi, these Myxomycetes are now classed as Amoebozoans - single celled organisms with thousands of nuclei... not animals or fungi but something else entirely!

It seems like the page doesn't have any OpenGraph tags. That's how you can control what the preview looks like on Mastodon. Seems like you're using WordPress, they have a plugin for that, I think.

According to one source Linux hits over 6% desktop user share gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/acco…

#Linux #LinuxGaming #OpenSource

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

in the western world 5% to 6% seems about right, as you point out in the article there is more than one source putting it in that range.
Statista also has a dataset (statista.com/statistics/268237…) putting Linux at 3.7% globally in march with more than 7% unknown.
I'm curious how it will change in October with Win 10 finally being EOL and MS nagging people to throw away perfectly good desktops and laptops.
