Well, as long as the GNU-slash-IMP folks are mad at me, I should go for broke and irritate everyone. Someone's got to be debbie downer and I guess today it's me.
Does @gnome support the use of a slur for a project they're hosting? Because from where I sit, they appear to, and I feel like hosting this project might be a violation of their CoC.
I still can't believe the Switch only supports 20MHz bandwidth on 5GHz WiFi.
Reminder:
Republicans changed the way votes are counted specifically to convince their voters that Democrats "stole" the 2020 election.
On Election Day, only the votes cast that day will be counted and it will look like Trump is winning by a lot.
Then, other kinds of votes will be counted, and Kamala will suddenly do better.
Be ready for it. Don't get depressed on Election Day.
Twitch are updating their rules & decided that LGBTQ+ is a "Sensitive social issue" & needs to be hidden behind a content warning.
Obviously this is bad for LGBTQ+ streamers & a slippery slope, so please if you're a twitch user, vote on this feedback petition:
There's a lot more I could have written about this but... look we've all seen this a million times before, we know how it works, how bad actors abuse it to mass report and bully and where it all goes.
Is it just me? Anytime I see AI generated images used in articles or web pages I immediately think “lazy” Just use free stock art at least.
mozilla withdrawing from mastodon due to a lack of funds but having enough money to finance shitty ai research is like finding out your local library closed because they spent all their money on an inflatable dinosaur exhibit
Trump’s statements are decontextualized, while those from Democrats are relentlessly scrutinized. The result is false equivalencies that normalize Republican liars.

@ryne The Nothing X companion app might actually be the best accessory/peripheral app I've ever used. I'm not sure if it was made in-house or contracted out, but either way, Nothing is doing something right.
Nothing apparently makes good earbuds. The CMF Neckband Pro is (are?) really good, especially for $50. Good sound, good ANC, super long battery life, convenient and functional multipoint + pairing.
I think the actual MSRP is around $30, but I had to get my pair from an unofficial seller on Amazon because Nothing doesn't sell it to the US.
@thibaultmol If you aren't seeing the "Set Up Link Handling" alert, there shouldn't be any new domains that need enabling.
A sad day: Branch, the company that acquired Nova Launcher ~2 years ago, has laid off many of the great people working on/for it, including Cliff Wade (their CM), Rob (one of their developers), and many others.
It's wild that the UK has been having race riots for days now because some teenager stabbed a bunch of kids and then someone (presumably a bot) went on Twitter and claimed it was a radical Muslim who arrived in the UK by refugee boat (none of that was true).
If I am in a place where people discuss things, and I am discussing things with other people, and you roll into the discussion between people and your contribution is "here's what ChatGPT says," I will immediately push whatever fuck you button the platform we're using has for you. Nobody fucking asked. Nobody fucking cares. Did you want to pollute a little bit, as a joke? We already have an app for that. It's called farting.
My LinkedIn feed is truly top tier right now. People just straight up posting lunatic conspiracy theories to their entire professional network based on a Twitter post from a redpill influencers screenshotting a 4chan user who claims to be a secret service sniper
