you can put a coyote on the timeline, and nobody will stop you because it's therian thursday

@spdx_wl well, I guess they did “cause you reaction”

@ticky it can do a normal reply (like this one), or it can do a quote reply

why are you segfaulting

fuck python

Sometimes I find this funny, which is kinda fucked up but it's either that or sadness, but one of my favourite things is when someone attacking communism does this.
"This is what the world would look like under communism:" literally a picture of injustice happening due to capitalism

oh fuck, there’s apparently a captcha solution that doesn’t make people go through bullshit GenAI/self-driving training shit (https://mcaptcha.org/)

and it’s apparently only self-hosted, which is both a benefit and a drawback. benefit because that’s a guarantee of privacy, drawback because wow that’s more work to get up and running. 8P

gonna have to set that up for my git repo. maybe one day i’ll also get akkoma to work with it too.

@KaydeArcane oh, that’s “fun”

I’ll have to look into the implementation, maybe it happens to be regex, in which case it should be possible to work around the issue

@nora jellyfin is great, but last time I tried syncplay, it was janking out

then again, it might have been because iOS on my friend’s side

I appreciate that I live with a cat that’s so chill and calm that, like, if you put your face up close to theirs, they’ll just.

Sniff it.

“Ah yes. This is one of my favourite Tall, Weird Cats With Two Legs. I will sniff them. Good evening, Tall Fucked Up Cat.”

(This is the single most normal thing this cat does. It all gets less normal from here.)

@marty

@nwenny I personally tend to recommend endeavour os (which is basically arch with a pretty installer), arch may be harder to set up initially, but it’ll definitely reduce pain in the long term

I also tend to recommend it knowing that issues might happen and interactive support may be needed sometimes, so if you ever need help with it and the wiki/forums don’t answer your questions, feel free to reach out

@tenna afaik they do want to make it a recurring thing

@Jewel I do recommend figuring it out, while (imo) it’s not all that good as a general purpose language, there’s a lot of stuff that makes use of it because it does fill the niche of embeddable programming langs

if i could pull it off i would absolutely wear a witch hat as part of my daily wardrobe

The new Kindle models don’t support any type of sideloading, which also means there’s no way to remove the DRM, no way to back up books, and no way to obtain delisted books you’ve already purchased but haven’t backed up. They also don’t have any buttons. If you’re in the Kindle ecosystem, now is the time to remove all that DRM and get out.

For large ebook stores there’s ebooks.com, Nook, and Kobo. There’s also several smaller ones.

In terms of devices, Onyx Boox, Pocketbook, Kobo, and the emerging categories of e-note devices like the ReMarkable, and reflective/transflective LCD devices like the Daylight DC-1, all compete with Kindle. The Kindles are still appealing devices with an economic edge, but where the competition is behind it’s not far behind, and where it’s ahead it’s ahead.
