  • According to my 6 year old that's a definite yes!

  • You can literally just upload a library of documents to github or another repo service like codeberg. That's basically what a code project is, a bunch of files.

  • I imagine almost everyone who's not American, like 95.5% of the world population.

  • I inherited the thing because I found it in my grandma’s closet when I was 6 and helping her clean her room. I asked her who owned it, and she said it was my dead grandpa’s violin. So I asked again, then who’s is it? She thought about it and said “I dunno, I guess whichever of you grandkids learns to play it first.”

    Have you had it insured? I see they go for roughly 20.000 to 150.000 USD, so I assume it's an 'of course I have' moment, but you seem to be quite nonchalant with it so far :D

  • Expensive piece of kit! I assume you're a professional musician?

  • That's funny, especially since no one wants a new app on their phone. Right?

  • Well, yes, most people want computers to be unnoticable and boring. I agree, we need more boring tech that just does a job and doesn't bother us. That said, plenty of people find self-hosting to be fun - your SO and mine excepted, of course.

  • I use a dell dock from work and various controllers and have had no problems at all, in fact we use it almost exclusively as a console.

  • Have you tried to use AI for documentation? It's pretty shit.

  • As a 41 year old man, that's abnormal behaviour. Wtf is wrong with him? Does he have friends, colleagues, family and a spouse in there and do they want to know his taste in porn?

    Mah gawd

  • OK, we'll, we're not having a great experience on windows, are we?

  • Argued for years that Diaphragma would be an excellent name. Or Columna.

  • I don't really think mastodon needs those 5% to produce content to entertain and advertise a userbase of 95% lurkers. For me it's definitely a bonus that they're not there - I don't need influencer-shit in my feed.

    If that kind of content creator and passive user goes to Bluesky that's fine. If they went to mastodon we'd just see calls for an algorithm, which would be directly against what I want in the platform.

  • Problem with algorithms showing popular content is that once you have them, you'll have people trying to use them to make money. And by extension people trying to manipulate you for profit. Doesn't have to be the platform itself doing it for it to be harmful.

  • People turn fascist when they're desperate and angry, same as always. So when people experience economic hardship they look for somone to blame, often immigrants. So we call them racists, and I guess that's true, but it comes from something else; economic inequality.

    In Europe we do the same thing, in the French elections the rural population voted overwhelmingly for the fascists - here in brown.

    In the German elections, the poorer former East-German provinces also supported the fascist AfD, here shown in the darker colours.

    Even in Denmark, where I live, the more right-wing and extremist parties are popular in the southern, western, and northern parst of the country - the poorer rural areas, who's seen their jobs disappear, their shops close, and their income stall even as the country as a whole gets richer.

    So the challenge of liberal democracy is clear; show the population outside the cities that they, too, can get their piece of the pie. If we cannot solve that, then we'll see more countries turn fascist in the next decade.

  • Two of my sisters are doing that, and they're lovely kids and will be surrounded by people who love them and will help them grow. So I think that's absolutely fine.

  • Well, she's 12 and likes to play roblox and do funny voice edits on her videos. As I am sure you can guess, it's stuff like one-click voice modulation which is the big selling point of CapCut for her. So I am guessing ease of use and the ability to at least create and save audio editing presets and do texts and so on is paramount.

    I agree that this is not really a need that foss tries to fill which is ok. We tried kdenlive but it seems a little advanced for her needs and wants. I tried Vidcutter and it seems a little too simple (feature-wise, the usability was nice).

    We just took a look at ShotCut which seems alright, but I think I am more into it than she is. I hope I can convince her to take a look at it. Thanks!
