Daily dose of yikes:
> ...Spirit has not actually reworked the discrepant rivets, they *just painted over the defects*. In Boeing production speak, this is a “process failure”. For an A&P mechanic at an airline, this would be called “federal crime”.

There comes a point where "counterfeit product" transforms into "the last surviving record"
copy that floppy
write that poem
Man goes to Windows. Says thing is not working. Says he's getting a strange error. Says he feels lost and unsure what to do. Windows says, "Solution is simple. Administrator is in the office today. Go and see him. He should know the answer." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But Windows... I am Administrator!"
(i want to make a consent banner that actually follows GDPR and ePrivacy directive to the T, with no dark patterns)
was trying to figure out how to do cookie consent and gdpr options on a site when the browser has JS disabled
took awkwardly long to realize that "hello i have deliberately disabled javascript in my browser. please use my personal data for advertising" is a deranged statement and I can probably just assume they won't consent to anything

please stop saying DMA i'm too embedded programming brained for this. I keep thinking u mean direct memory access like damn the EU is poking straight to a NULL memory page! They can't do that it'll segfault!
fun fact, because USB4 requires displayport tunneling to be supported on the host, it's practically impossible to implement on a desktop computer without an iGPU
making a macro keypad that's 5 buttons for 32 macros
let's hope you remember the right combinations

A poor intern either fought valiantly for this phrasing or fought valiantly AGAINST this phrasing.
Either way, we salute their sacrifice.

backups haven't been working since 2022-08-20
whoops
as usual, with the instance freshly restarted after being down all day, it will be unusable for hours
you can find me at @ChlorideCull@tech.lgbt in the meantime, as with any technical issues
i have this windows tablet where the battery has basically doubled in size, and there are no third party replacements
because pouch cells without a BMS is a pain in the ass to get, i might just replace it with an extremely thicc version using 18650s, and in the process bringing it from 4 Ah to 14 Ah, lol

Input Prompts will release January 20th, it'll be available as a completely free download (CC0 licensed)
After release I'll be gathered feedback and ideas, updating it until it's the definitive pack of icons!

I said everything is better with a mascot, right? 😁
I learned that Tyson Tan, the artist that, among other things, did the KDE and Krita mascot, also designed a mascot, Libbie, for LibreOffice, but the mascot contest was cancelled because stuff wasn't "professional enough" or something. BUT all his art was available, thus, I took inspiration by this (outdated) project https://github.com/sdomi/libbieoffice and set my own Libbie Splash & Icons with his artwork.
Download and info in reply.

it's a new screen for my laptop, for one third of the official screen
to quote the description of the listing, "The screen will be wrapped with Cardboard, and put in a super hard Box to make sure it is 100% safe." so i'm not sure it will arrive in one piece
