Thinking about self-hosting a chat system but it's really weird how militaristic the websites are !

We want a chatline for our club not a resilient zero-trust nerve centre for AI-driven stochastic carpet bombing

in reply to Alex McLean

what a cold, sad reflection of this period of time.

They're trying to break into a market. Back in my brief, ill-fated stint in the rose-tinted startup world (12-odd years ago) we used to talk about public services like civil swrvice or emergency management as 'bullseye' customers because they had money to burn. Now I guess it is all military.

Speed up your workflow with AppImages that start automatically.

in reply to It's FOSS

When I installed Ubuntu 24.04, AppImages wouldn't open. No message explaining the situation or anything.

After some research I learned that Ubuntu had disabled them by default with the exception of some specific ones which were enabled for some reason or other. Pretty convoluted. I can't even remember what I had to do to enable them, but it was not something a new Linux user would have an easy time figuring out.

Why Donโ€™t People Return Their Shopping Carts? A (Somewhat) Scientific Investigation


"...I watched a total of 564 encounters between Cart Narcs and cart abandoners. These donโ€™t represent a perfectly random sample of interactions, but together they capture a broad cross-section of everyday behavior. (And, as far as I know, itโ€™s the largest archive of shopping cart behavior available.) Most interactions begin the same way: Someone leaves their cart and a Cart Narc requests they return it. At this point I documented what happened next, transcribing parking lot reactions word for unhinged word. To be clear, this was not a quick process. I spent dozens of weekend hours hunched over my computer pausing and replaying YouTube videos. People in my life called this โ€œconcerningโ€ and a โ€œwaste of time.โ€ I called it research."

in reply to Muse

I see that more at Costco, lots of abandoned giant carts along the edges mostly.
The sense of relief at getting out of there and stowing your loot in the car overrides "duty to return to the cart pen".
in reply to Muse

Here, a store employee pushes your cart to your car and loads your purchases for you. Then he takes the cart back with him. No problem.

i wonder if early text to speech models in satnavs had to have an entirely separate pronunciation ruleset for british place names.

a rule that says "louce" sounds the same as "louse" is all well and good until you have to say "gloucestershire", or as your naรฏvely programmed TTS model may call it, "glough-cest-er-shy-er"

and i can't imagine how you'd handle things like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholmondโ€ฆ without just hard-coding them

I'm starting a couple hashtags to help certain creators find one another.

#CreativeResisters for people who are contributing their creative skills to overcome abusive governments and economic systems.

#Hopecore for people who are creating works whose purpose is to portray the creating and maintaining of a world worth hoping for.

Please use these whenever you see anything that fits the bill!

in reply to Muse

Hashtags are not case sensitive, but capitalizing the words helps screenreaders pronounce them for the visually impaired.

Thanks! I had always thought they were case-sensitive (without testing).

in reply to The Tor Project

Suppose you have a site that has banned all the Tor exit nodes. Also suppose you have a shell account somewhere. Install Chromium in Tails, and then do this:

ssh -D 8888 user@shell-account-host
[separate window]
chromium '--proxy-server=socks://localhost:8888'

Now the SSH goes over Tor, and the Chromium uses the SSH tunnel to send its traffic out via the shell host. You can get around the Tor Browser and exit node bans this way. Handy if you are in a censored environment.

I've been playing Final Fantasy XIV (despite all the DDoS attacks--got d/c'd three times in one day on Sunday) and Cozy Grove. I'm still newish to FF14, so I've been enjoying the story. Cozy Grove is just a nice relaxing game (similar to Animal Crossing) that has interesting stories. Both are playable on steam deck.

"The feature freeze for ODF 1.4 was over two years ago, so while the list of changes is extensive the focus here is not on โ€˜newโ€™ features that contemporary office suite users havenโ€™t seen before, but improvements to bring ODF more in-line with current expectations."

Honestly I appreciate these "expectation" updates a lot. This is the stuff that makes it easier to recommend.
