What is your LEAST favorite or command? 🤔

@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@nixCraft I was going to say git (been using it for ages, still feels precarious), but I’ll go with journalctl as I still have no idea how to get the precious log data out of it.

Calling all kernel 6.9 using folks - looking for feedback on your experiences.

  • Distro/release
  • Confirming it's 6.9.x
  • Specific Framework Laptop; 11th, 12th, 13th, AMD 13 or AMD 16.
  • Experiences with your typical day's usage compared to 6.8 and previous.

Please be overly clear in your config! More data is great! 😎 :allthethings:

@frameworkcomputer I'm using:

  • OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (a rolling release)
  • kernel 6.9.1, just installed 6.9.3 but haven't restarted yet
  • Framework 16 (Ryzen 7 7840HS, Radeon RX 7700S)
  • everything's been working great; things I do: gaming, development, watching videos, Godot

I wrote a few posts about the FW16 and OpenSUSE adventures: https://taffer.ca/posts/

@gamingonlinux I switched my default shell to fish and it broke KDE completely… had to set it back to bash. 😭

Problem: Thunderbird's calendar loses the ability to update my Google Calendar. I assume this is Google messing with OAuth or Thunderbird specifically to "encourage" direct Google Calendar use.

Solution: Host my own CalDAV server.

This will probably give me two problems (or more).

#thunderbird #caldav

Taffer,

I suppose another option would be to use whatever calendar is present in my OS instead of Thunderbird's.

(Looks like hosting CalDAV on Dreamhost is complex/annoying to set up, and I don't want the added attack surface.)

Taffer,
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@VileLasagna Hey, hey, looks like my NAS (a Synology) has a calendar with CalDAV support... since I work from home, I can probably make this work pretty well without opening up anything to the Internet at large.

Business meetings exist to share information and coordinate activity: this shit enables you to be apparently present in all but actually not engaged with any. If your calendar is triple-booked then your organization is under-resourced and needs more people, not more AI. Or it's holding unnecessary meetings to make management feel better about being surrounded by minions, in which case it needs to fire the executives responsible.

@cstross lol, fire executives… I do like the optimism though

Breaking News: Portal to Hell Opened in Chicago Deep Tunnel

"The deep tunnel runoff banishment vortex presents a complete solution to eliminating any and all storm sewer overflow to dare enter our city's glorious combined sewer system. Rejoice! Chicago will be vexed by liquid shit overflowing into our streets and basements NO MORE!" said Dr. Blasphael, chairperson of Chicago's department of water subjugation, in today's opening ceremony.

I wish you could do job searches with lots of filters like you can for houses (see realtor.ca for example):

  • remote only
  • flexible/unlimited PTO
  • sane sick leave
  • salary
  • benefits

Instead we've got dumb keyword searches and "remote" jobs that are actually "hybrid" in stupidly expensive or distant places.

@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@amyworrall yeah, I’m always careful to find out whether it’s a scam or they’re actually doing it

@BathysphereHat@mastodon.online avatar

NPCs in the fishing quests in #FFXIV keep calling themselves "friends of fish" and the like, which is odd, because the one thing these people have in common is that they all love to murder fish.

Taffer,
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@BathysphereHat they didn’t specify which fish…

My "Screenshot Dump" folder is so out of control. I need to do some culling BUT I also need to save and rename some so I can find them at a later date.

What I wish #Linux had was a desktop application that could identity objects and expressions in pictures similar to how Google Photos (others are available while stocks last) does.

Because I don't want to upload 2000 images to my Google drive to find the one I'm looking for with a /laugh emote in it.

@FibroJedi I use digiKam for “organizing” my photo collection, it might be able to do something useful?

Is Xcode actually a program, or a fractal zipbomb of nested installers?

Software update: "New Xcode!"
I fill with dread.
Two hours later: Finally launch Xcode.
Xcode: "Oh, did you want a compiler?? Update tools! Update components!"
Two hours later: press "Run".
Xcode: "Suddenly you have no simulators! Those old ones, they were no good! Download a single simulator!"
Four hours later...

@jwz I feel like they’ve got a do it themselves CDN hosted on some Apple ][s or old iPods

Do any of your cats get their claws stuck on fabrics or furniture and if so do any of them panic when they do and seem to forget how claws work?

Taffer,
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@eniko our current cat is a rescue who was declawed 😡

Had a previous cat get his claws stuck in his own skin while scratching and his brain just crashed immediately, we had to unhook him.

Taffer,
@Taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@eniko yeah, we’d never do such a thing ourselves, or use a vet who does
