I think my friends have convinced me I want to try Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty but the problem is in order to play Phantom Liberty I think I need to play through 10 or 20 hours of Cyberpunk Regular Flavor and I don't think I actually care about that

Here's what really scares me about "Recall" (the Windows 11 total surveillance feature):

Awhile back Apple introduced client-side image scanning to iCloud. There was a huge backlash and they rolled it back. But now that it's been demonstrated "possible" once, EU states are trying to legislate requiring it.

There's a huge backlash to "Recall". Maybe it will be changed or cancelled. But now that it's "possible", how long until governments start trying to legislate every OS have this feature?

@muhanga It appears they are trying again :( https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/majority-for-chat-control-possible-users-who-refuse-scanning-to-be-prevented-from-sharing-photos-and-links/

Alas, only on Amazon, not Kobo etc. But the kindle of THE UPLIFT WAR is today only $2.99.

@davidbrin Grabbed it!

Does it make sense to read this one on its own, or will I want to go read #1 and #2 first? I have loved every book by you I've read but haven't tried this series yet.

Gonna upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 24.04… expecting that, like everything else I have done on this laptop involving Ubuntu, I am going to regret this

@schrotthaufen I think it might be easier to just patch the Block Caribou extension to work with GNOME 46. But thanks

Oh

Oh hey, about 24 hours after upgrading Ubuntu I finally found the thing that broke. It was—

—are you ready? are you ready, I'm going to say the line—

My Python environment is broken

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

Yeah uh I had all these Python modules installed via pipx and after upgrading Ubuntu to 24.04 they're broke.

If you're not familiar: In current Ubuntu you aren't allowed to directly install stuff with pip, so instead you use a tool named pipx to install packages "locally". The idea is the local install is separate from the real python install so the python install can't break it. But somehow Ubuntu broke it anyway.

(If I reinstall with --force it DOES start working again, so I'm good, but ://)

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@nora Well it says it can't find the snakes so what does that suggest to you

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@wikinaut I recommend pipx yeah

Although, honestly, what I usually do with pipx these days is I use it to install pdm, and then I use that

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@gkrnours the solution appears to be to rerun pipx install for each of our pipx packages with --force

@tojiro It is possible that there are also problems with SioX sleep/wake (and I just haven't seen them yet)

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@rotopenguin There is a switch to turn it off, yes, but turning it off does not do anything

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@rotopenguin This might be unintended behavior, there has been a open issue on the GNOME bug tracker about this for over three years

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@tojiro yeah… that is a problem I am having semiregularly, the reason I upgraded 23.10 to 24.04 was I hoped the problem would be fixed… it wasn't…

Several 24.04 users are reporting a new bug where every time the screen sleeps then reawakens, the CPU is throttled a few mhz slower… it never goes back up again… your computer just gets slower and slower with each sleep/wake until you reboot. Really fascinating innovation in failure modes here

@JLab8 oh man tho I didn't post the whole story this morning about how trying to set up connection forwarding on my VPN on Windows 10 made google.com (not all Google services, just google.com) totally inaccessible

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@julienw yeah… I use pdm to manage my virtualenvs, but I use pipx to install pdm :(

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@whitequark I think if there's a change I'd want from pipx it would be to somehow detect it's shit has been broken and either offer to fix it or give a big "fix all your shit at once" command (notice when I told it to reinstall pdm, it declined without a force flag)

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@whitequark This said, idk, if the idea is system Python exists for running Python based Ubuntu packages, maybe the user Python SHOULD be managed separately. Maybe that makes sense

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@whitequark @ohmrun Yes :(

@nazokiyoubinbou Python's ecosystem was an excellent idea because the many mistakes it made laid the groundwork for Javascript's slightly less terrible ecosystem whose many mistakes laid the groundwork for Rust's pretty good ecosystem.

Heeeck I dunno if I'll be able to test it before the stream but I think I just got .xm/mod tracker file playback working on the Analogue Pocket

Screenshot is highly significant to me but it is complicated to explain why this is proof I can run it on the Pocket

Nope, FPU's fine!

The audio distortion turned out to be caused by a few factors, all in my code, with the main source being coughs uncomfortably the code I added to debug the audio distortion

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@jonbro the RISCV core comes with registers for queueing audio and setting up video DMA

Or put a different way: I do not have to implement this because Adam G implemented it

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@jonbro it's built using something called "Litex" which is like a toolkit for making all the glue you put around the CPU core

Okay this is a TERRIBLE capture* but scrolly shooter now has

  • Tracker soundtrack with .xm player (xmrs crate, track by neurosys)
  • Can shoot bullets and kill squid

Soon as I make the squids auto spawn this will be legally a "video game"

  • (Can't really see the bullets, the video's kinda blurred. Audio desyncs— I promise it's not my code!— and is a little blown out. Squids jump around at the start while I enter debug codes. I gotta switch to doing HDMI captures)
