Last year, my doctor prescribed vitamins for me to inject into my tummy fat with a syringe. And let's just say, I was glad to be doing that in privacy, because I most certainly felt like a drug addict.

Even the usual movie depiction of drug addicts being really messy and prodding or cutting themselves, I mirrored quite well, not from withdrawal shaking, but because I'm just really not practiced with syringes. 🫠

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

Mozilla Dino Logo

It's right-wing trolling that it's specifically non-binary. It's just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

Mozilla didn't bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.

This story is made up by right-wing trolls.

The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn't have the dino in its official branding, but it's now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them "removing" the dino than it was worth.

Apparently, it's right-wing trolls who made up this non-binary thing. So, you are correct, but it came from the other side of the culture war.

They're not talking about language with the male-as-default, but rather for example this:

The depiction with less discerning features is what we assume to be male. If you want to express female, you have to add a dress or long hair or curves etc..
There's actual scientific research on this bias existing, although I don't know in what way this extends to animal depictions.

There's also analog computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers...

I'd guess, it's the authtoken cookie, since that has the right kind of expiry date for me and, well, makes sense from an OIDC perspective.

I might see, though, if the suggestion from @AlecSandler@lemmy.dbzer0.com maybe works. The Outlook webpage also redirects to outlook.cloud.microsoft since like, yesterday, which might've also unfucked things somehow? At least, I didn't get the logout loop, when I did try to test Alec's method just now.

I like to use LilyPond for transcription. It's basically LaTeX for sheet music.

For 8-bit music, I like to dick around with MilkyTracker. It's a tracker-style composition tool, which basically came to be in early computing days. It takes a bit to get used to, but then it's super simple for writing a quick chiptune.

And I guess, I'll also throw in VMPK. It allows you to play piano on your computer keyboard, similar to how lots of DAWs do.
As with any such implementation, it's unfortunately limited by keyboard rollover, but still useful for playing around with intervals and jamming a bit. It can also be used as MIDI input for audio software, which doesn't have this feature built-in.

The theme comes in three variants, "Soft Light", "Medium Light" and "Hard Light". Soft and Medium are even yellower. This is so often the case with Gruvbox themes. I just want a white background, is that so unusual? 🫠

(Yes, that's a screenshot of my terminal with the theme applied. Yes, I am one of those monsters that use a terminal with light theme.)

 

Always had the problem that if I wanted to just log an error, rather than bubble it all the way up to main(), that you wouldn't get a stacktrace. You could iterate the source chain and plug the stacktrace together yourself, but it's rather complex code.

Now I realized, you can do this to get a stacktrace:

let error = todo!("Get an error somehow...");
let error = anyhow::anyhow!(error); //converts to an `anyhow::Error`
eprintln!("Error with stacktrace: {error:?}");

For converting to an anyhow::Error, it often also makes sense to use anyhow::Context like so:

use anyhow::Context;
let error = error.context("Deleting file failed.");
 

In various point-and-click adventure games, you could enter natural language instructions, way before LLMs were a thing.

And for FMV-style titles, real actors got photographed and filmed to create much more photorealistic games than you could ever hope for with motion capturing, raytracing or by using two GPUs to implant creepy photograph snippets onto rendered gameplay.

So, clearly, we weren't ready yet for point-and-click games. 💩

Find's spannend, wie jung das Wort ist. Da hat nicht jemand vor Hunderten von Jahren mal "Ubuntus Clickus" gesagt und dann ist es durch Dialekte und Eindeutschung usw. irgendwie bei "Klickibunti" angekommen, sondern irgendjemand hat zu einem Zeitpunkt mal das Wort zum ersten Mal verwendet, und es wurde verstanden und weiterverwendet.
