Damn, just found one way that #Firefox isn't up to snuff -- I'm learning that this whole new "passkeys" thing is very cool, and Firefox does not have support for it yet. :(
I was looking at tai chi places in GR. There aren't that many, it turns out. One of them seems nice, chill, it's run by a woman who's been doing tai chi a long time. There are some oddities on her site like she calls it "Tai Chi Gung" which sounds like a mashup of "Tai Chi" (taiji) and "Chi Kung" (qigong)? But the "chi" in "tai chi" is a completely different word than the "chi" in "chi kung", it's actually "ch'i". So that's a little odd, but not that odd...
In 2012 I managed to leave a shitty job that I'd been at for many years, without a raise, as the company slowly fell apart, that I was only in because it was my first programming job, I didn't have much of a resume, and life was in general pretty precarious in those days. The job was all Perl all the time - the CEO/CTO was super into Perl. (That also did not help with the whole "getting another job" thing.)
@sengi_app Seems like this would be a Frequently Asked Question but I couldn't find anything on it; is Sengi usable in a context where you don't have the ability to right click, i.e. on a mobile screen?
"Hyprland is a wlroots-based tiling Wayland compositor written in C++. Noteworthy features of Hyprland include dynamic tiling, tabbed windows, a clean and readable C++ code-base, and a custom renderer that provides window animations, rounded corners, and Dual-Kawase Blur on transparent windows. General usage and configuration is thoroughly documented at Hyprland wiki. "
I don't know what Dual-Kawase Blur is but suddenly I want it so bad
@mph I'm looking at silverbullet.md, just out of curiosity. It seems kinda neat, in its own way. Looks like if there were no Tiddlywiki, here's something that could do a lot of the same things. I don't know that I'm thrilled about the interface? Like, TW is a web page. You know what a web page is and how to interact with it. Links, textareas, buttons. You know what's editable and what isn't. Silverbullet is a markdown editor running in your browser.
Brave Browser continues to be sketchy as fuck. They have moved on from sketchy cryptocurrency integrations and are working on sketchy AI/LLM integrations.
Just for fun I installed Arch Linux on a spare thinkpad. (My main squeeze gets Debian). I used the relatively new "archinstall" script to set up, it was really slick. I got a whole Gnome environment set up.
But because I had forgotten to tell it explicitly to install the "networkmanager" package, I couldn't get on the internet. Had to figure out how to reboot from the install media, go in, and install that too.
Oh Arch. You magnificent trainwreck. Never change.
Spending all my time in a data hoarding fugue, collecting all my shit on my new home server. Old videos downloaded from youtube in 2010 that look like postage stamps. All my mp3s, which I want to tag correctly using na autotagger, which takes time and attention. Just absolutely sucking up my brain. Looping, can't stop. :\
@mph man, going through some really old backups, and I keep seeing software I'd forgotten about. An RSS reader called Shrook! Newsfire! Vienna! (i had a lot of RSS readers then I guess).
I've been using #archlinux as a laptop OS lately, because just about any odd little tool or utility I want to try out, a recent version is usually packaged for arch.
Also I am using linux lately not just as a means but as an end - I'd rather it be fiddly than boring. (If I was using it only as a means to get other more important stuff done, boring/stable/just-works would be the priority, and arch wouldn't be optimal.)
I heard they were going to implement a feature on #Mastodon where you could put someone in a list but hide their toots from showing up in your front page, anybody know how to do that? #FediTips
