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.

what open source tools do you use for music? in c/musicproduction@sh.itjust.works

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.

So, web Outlook has had a bug with Single-Sign-On for many months now. It independently checks an own cookie, whether it should log you out, so it can happen that you log in via SSO and then it immediately triggers the logout flow of your SSO provider to log you back out.

Well, and when I say "can happen", I mean that this happens every single morning, unless I clear Outlook's cookies beforehand.
So, every morning before I start working, I hit Ctrl+Shift+H in Firefox to bring up the history, type "outlook" into the search, right-click an entry and then select "Forget About This Site" to clear the cookies.

Except, through the magic of doing this regularly, I've started typing just enough to make the Outlook entries appear at the top. Which isn't actually much shorter, but I noticed that I always just type "outloo".

Which sounds like a combination of "outhouse" and "loo". Which very much summarizes my feelings towards this Microsoft™ service, every time I have to do this. Which is every single morning. Fucking hell.

Ah, I meant that as in the individual hair have less circumference and therefore are easier to cut through.

I'm violently in favor of Big Light™. Really wakes you up, especially the flashbang when you turn it on. 🙃

Personally, I find it much easier down under, because the hair is a lot thinner...

Scam Altman says it’ll take another year before ChatGPT can start a timer. An $852 billion company, ladies and gentlemen. in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Okay, but just to be clear, the problem is not that it can't do a timer. The problem is that it claims to be able to and even produces a result which looks plausible. It means, you cannot trust it to do anything that you can't easily verify. If they could fix that overconfidence in a year, it would be much better.

My first thought was bugs and berries looking similar to a marble, but moving water makes a lot of sense. There's for example also cat fountains you can buy, because some cats won't drink the still water in a bowl.

Can certainly also see why it got named that... 🙃

I like Gruvbox but also contrast... (lemmy.ml)

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.)

TIL you can debug-format anyhow::Error to get a stacktrace (lemmy.ml)
 

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.");

Point-and-click adventures were way ahead of their time (lemmy.ml)
 

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. 💩

Klickibunti (de.wikipedia.org)
 

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.
