Dad, enjoyer of less mainstream tech stuff, recently into music production, podcasting and a bit of web "design" (yay neocities!)
Cis-het with a big heart for the queer community. Also not a big fan of pigeonholing.
My profile picture is a drawing of me as a blackbird with antlers and glasses, sitting on a computer keyboard. Inspired by the WoW pro player from the show South Park. Header pic is of a red wall with lots of ones and zeroes with a glimpse of an old Robotron PC.
@fds2610 idk maybe buy new AirPods?
Seriously though, you could alternate between your right and left ear. This way one is always recharging in its case.
I do this with my earbuds to make them last through the day.
Gotta keep the case charged somehow of course.

I can recommend Luanti in general. My kid is having a blast with it on raspberry pi.
@bkastl ich, jedes Mal, wenn ich im Büro eine verschlüsselte Mail bekomme: „na toll, jetzt hängt sich Outlook wieder 20 Sekunden lang auf“
Wie läuft das auf richtigen Betriebssystemen?
@ozamidas nah, that’s just to conform to upcoming EU repairability laws.
They glued everything in to make it less repairable I’m sure but I doubt that made their products more expensive to manufacture.
Either way it’s a step back in the right direction.
I uploaded my second ever track to #soundcloud It's short and probably a bit cliché but it's mine.
Also if there's an #opensource #federated alternative to Soundcloud, please tell me!
@jbz back in the early 2000s I dabbled in BeOS with some surplus PC hardware I had lying around (I believe these days it would be called a "home lab").
I was impressed with how incredibly snappy it felt and it also looked kinda cool.
Alas there wasn't any software for it that wasn't also available on Linux and driver support was naturally lacking.
It would've made a great classic MacOS successor if NeXT hadn't been around.

That was the only "Fast" movie I ever watched, so it's probably true.

I love that all of this has happened and the cat had literally no frigging idea.

This feels weird but I'd like to share my first "track" for lack of a better word. It's the first time I made #music since I was a teenager - which was literal decades ago.
It's still a work in progress and I've already change around lots of things after exporting this version.
I'm deeply self-conscious about it but also weirdly proud of my work, so here goes nothing:
@jecko the link isn't loading for me :(
Edit: now it's working. Looks/sounds promising! :)
@lowqualityfacts what is it with the anime avatars?
@quinn oh I totally understand. Especially the opiate part. I don't think I'd be doing anything different if I was in your position.
Of the three things I was torn between this morning I did half of one of them.
I organised our junk drawer!
No before pic because I was already kinda done when I thought of it.
Not as tidy as I like it to be but wayyy better than the hazardous environment it was before.
Boy this #fediverse stuff is hard.
I think I figured out how to use mastodon for the most part and I can watch some vids on PeerTube.
But I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up Relatica.
Plus Pixelfeed just seems straight up boring if you're not into photography.
But I'm not giving up. The sooner I can leave most of FAANG behind the better.
Any pointers are very welcome!

me, when I was done fixing my moped:
Currently in freeze mode because I can’t decide if I should make a little bit of music or continue work on my neocities today. Also someone should definitely clean this place up.
This #ADHD is TEARING ME APART, LISA! 😫
On the plus side, at least future generations won't have the cognitive skills to judge us harshly.
@Archimage you could carry it around on your keychain!
On second thought, I'd probably lose it after about a week.
