I have a question: I have a mini with a hardwired USB-A cable. I have varying levels of success getting it to work properly with my USB-C only MacBook Pro.

Have you tried this with a dock or an adapter that makes it work for you? If so please name names!

That said, I am also not averse to completing The Circle of StreamDeck Life, and selling the one I have to finance the one I want (: so if you're in the market for a classic, HMU (:

@matthewcassinelli Feedback to pass along to Elgato: they ought to give their partners a coupon code that at least beats the everyone/everyday price on Amazon :/

Ok, Cory Doctorow is pissing me off now, lol.

"Break down the steps of training a model and it quickly becomes apparent why it's technically wrong to call this a copyright infringement. First, the act of making transient copies of works – even billions of works – is unequivocally fair use. Unless you think search engines and the Internet Archive shouldn't exist, then you should support scraping at scale."

We need some kind of term for arguing via false equivalence.

@christianselig What's the best way to provide feedback/bugs/thoughts on Juno?

Lol at Dave Winer discovering "a whole industry revolving around 1/6 scale Scarlett Johansson heads and bodies to stick them on."

(1/6 scale is "Barbie-sized," and people have been doing custom "head-sculpts" of celebrities for decades and decades.)

Me: Damnit, I did it again. I wish @ivory could slap me in the face when I'm about to post an image without alt text.

Then I go to Ivory's settings and it turns out it already has the ability to perform such a slap. Turned that feature on so hopefully I can make myself look smarter on the internet.

Seems like perhaps it's a good thing I was traveling today and couldn't react to the Humane stuff closer to real time. Yikes.

Long ago I had this idea for a dumb bit, where I'd start YouTube channel doing 10-minute GIMP tutorials to teach people what I'd learned after using GIMP for a couple decades.

The short version is it'd be one of those screen cast type videos, and every episode the entire 10 minutes would be filled with bullshit like dependency resolution problems preventing GIMP from launching, recompiling the Linux kernel because my graphic tablet stopped working again, and then recompiling the kernel again because the graphics tablet now works, but I can no longer capture sound in my recordings.

Of course the Metallica track this lady used to scare off a cougar was from the black album...

It's pretty rad that James Hetfield reached out to her, though. I bet he suggested buying 72 Seasons for her future cougar scaring needs.

techphotoguy,
@techphotoguy@mastodon.social avatar

@nyquildotorg It's all good until Hetfield finds out she downloaded that track from Napster...
