Just found an old CD burner and blank disks that still worked despite being at least 15 years old. Burned my Bandcamp acquisitions to a disk for my car CD player. I’d forgotten how good it felt to render digital possessions into physical form. Kids these days who’ve never done it are missing out
One of the best things about fediverse is we don't have a CEO.
There's Gargamel, and we all think he's a dumbass, even the fools who use his personal badly-run servers. If you don't want to use his software, you can switch to gotosocial or a few other server types entirely, and it still works.
No gods, kings, or CEOs.
Some players build astounding bases in No Man's Sky. I dug an archaeological site.
Perfect example of why Guix just needs to include stock Linux and ditch Linux-libre: https://lobste.rs/c/mbtxry
New users have no idea why their wifi doesn't work and then detractors use it against us. Every Guix thread outside official channels since the beginning of the project has been dominated by this issue and it overshadows all the good things Guix does.
A friend of mine has a question about #guile #hoot and kinda frustrated that no one's answered on official forum. Asked to consult with higher beings

Woke up my #Mac to find one of my desktop pictures (the active one, they rotate every 5 minutes) had just corrupted itself. No change in its modification date, loading it into image editors - #SketchbookPro shows the black as white. #AffinityPhoto shows the whole image as grey. #Apple #Preview shows the image as attached. Loading it into Mona, my mastodon client, the whole image shows up undamaged (and possibly scaled), so I had to take a screencap to post this.
@izzy gehhh if that's the case I think I might either have to use CLIM or give up on the idea of editing the text in common lisp. The purpose of the project is to make hypertext linking documents anyway, so maybe I will just make a lil browser, and you load in files that you have already created.
Been noodling around in my lil common lisp text editor a bit
