Last time I upgraded Zorin, I didn't have enough free space on my disk, which Zorin didn't warn me about, and then my installation was a bit broken (had to consult Grub to fix it) 🥲


And so begins the #enshittification of Google's last good product...

running an MPD Server will get you a Google Home - like audio experience, supporting almost all audio streaming sources both proprietary and open source. And it runs perfectly on a Pi.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

I don't like to blow my own horn much at all (thanks, England!) but thanks to random shuffle on the way to town this morning I found myself listening to one of my own electronic/ambient pieces from a couple of years ago. I actually really liked it a lot!

It's not very likely that you will too, but just in case you do ...

This type of thing should not happen.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

this is the same project that allowed one contributor to damage their reputation long-term by trying to remove 32-bit support across the entire project for the (now) next release of Fedora while Steam and most of the games on it are still 32-bit applications -- and only because their build system is so bad that they can't selectively build 32-bit stuff.

They don't care about the golden goose Linux has been gifted that is gaming.

um, hang on

after detection of COVID-19 via nasal swab, nasal saline irrigation performed every four hours over a 16-hour period decreased COVID-19 viral load by 8.9%. Meanwhile, the viral load in the control group continued to increase during that time.


they were checking the exact location they rinsed? 🤨 I'd like to see the "viral load" measured at a different location (blood test?).

in reply to Muse

I finally tested negative today!

Also, my new neti pot arrived in the post. I've used it once so far.

Sometimes I put in an absurdly low bid on an eBay auction with the certainty that I definitely won't get it but also a vanishingly slim hope that MAYBE by some miracle nobody else will bid. Anyway that is how I ended up adding this magnificent glass plate negative to my collection! No date/info.

Supreme Court temporarily restores Texas’ "new" racist congressional map


Texas is back to using its 2025 congressional map, at least temporarily, after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito granted the state’s request to pause a court ruling that would have required using the lines legislators drew in 2021.

IMHO cookies are of minor concern, they can be blocked or sandboxed or whatever. However bloated websites with 20+ MB of content are insane (10 MB of JavaScript code...) , and it's getting worse every year. A good adblocker is mandatory, but it's not enough.
