(very good actually once you adjust to it being different, many problems simply disappear, but stuff isn’t designed for you and it’s frustrating but you make do, also people go out of their way to aggrieve you)

My GNOME Quick Settings extension for Home Assistant!

Since posting the sneak peak screenshot the other day, I've tidied up the code and made it actually configurable rather than being hard coded to work with my setup. Hopefully it's useful now for others too. Check it out:

Here's what the config looks like. It supports three kinds of entities: input_number, input_boolean, and input_select; and it hooks up the UI components and data binding for you. Just declare what entities you want to control and you're ready to go.

GNOME is so good man, idk what the haters are talking about. on what other OS can you make something this slick and useful in just a few hundred lines of JS, without having to install anything extra

@whitequark what are the problems with gtkwave? I switched from sway to gnome a couple years ago now and I haven't had the experience you describe, apart from xwayland difficulties/electron bs it's been quite smooth

> “UniSuper had duplication in two geographies as a protection against outages and loss,” according to the statement.

who would win: multi region HA deployment or one little billing fucky wucky and an ON DELETE CASCADE

it is truly incredible that the US’s liberal institutions continue to do absolutely nothing in their actual power about Donald Trump https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-07/donald-trump-breaches-gag-order-for-tenth-time-in-trial/103812466

nobody wants to hear it but x32 is actually the best ABI for most apps and it is a shame its not used more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI

hailey,
@hailey@hails.org avatar

this toot inspired by seeing that Discord still ships a 32 bit client for Windows and thinking well, it would probably use less memory, given how especially pointer heavy electron apps are.

but no! you don't actually want the rest of the 32 bit ABI! you don't want to spill to stack for every function call, you do actually want all the good parts of x86_64! you just want smaller pointers

tech guys are so funny sometimes man

usually when Big Serious Companies have defense contracts, they go to some effort to downplay/minimise/obfuscate their links to the defense industry, because they know it's absolutely toxic to their brand image

extremely big brained on the other hand to just come out and say "no we don't have any defense contracts, but we'd like to!"

i assume low battery mode on ios is meant to be bad or something, but as far as i'm aware it's a "give me more battery for free" switch with no downside that i notice

why don't they make the whole phone out of the stuff low battery mode's made of

in victoria, australia, our regional rail operator vline has a net zero 2050 goal but continues to spend billions of dollars on new diesel trains in 2024

meanwhile, indian railways has a net zero 2030 target and have been rapidly electrifying their network, increasing from 33% to 94% electrified in just 10 years.

I haven’t missed it so I only just realised, but in switching from X to mastodon I’ve traded my ambient awareness of the daily dealings of US grifter-conservatives for timely news and updates on Linux

I like this much better

another good reason to ditch spotify

@hailey@hails.org avatar

when I first started using spotify, I loved it. now for me and many others, it's that shit app I feel shackled to. I think they know this and are banking on users feeling locked in

I only started drinking black tea in the past year or so, and though I still love coffee, I also can't believe I was fucking around with coffee as a caffeine source for so long. Tea hits so much better

what on earth is going on over at C++

are they ok

hailey,
@hailey@hails.org avatar

from https://isocpp.org/files/papers/P2809R3.html where the C++ committee has just adopted a proposal to make some infinite loops not UB

hailey,
@hailey@hails.org avatar

still thinking about this one. the most plainly unreasonable case of UB i have ever seen. i read all the justifications and my conclusion remains that the tail is strongly wagging the dog
