Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

@benaryorg At one point OVH was simultaneously maintaining at least 4 different service control panels, depending on which service you have and how old it is, so this sounds extremely on-brand for OVH
idk I think this avenue might not be a fruitful one
Current protocol design status: I need a type of number that works differently

anyone who has a copy of the XCOM Tactical Legacy soundtrack (preferably FLAC or ALAC but i'll take what i can get), please DM me. 2K pulled it from Bandcamp, it's apparently not well-known enough to be on public 🏴☠️ sites, and i think i may have literally lost my ALAC copy in a hard drive fire 🥺
edit: got it! thank you so much! (you know who you are)
edit with further details: the actual album name is "XCOM Legacy (Original Soundtrack)". the track list is
UFO Defense
Geoscape
Intercept
Scanning Protocol
Resistance
Sleeping Chryssalids
Kill It With Fire
Blacksite
Retaliation
Beware The Faceless
Covert Operations

former Bandcamp link: http://2kgamesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/xcom-legacy-original-soundtrack
also: if you liked original and/or modern XCOM, but for some reason haven't played the Tactical Legacy Pack (a DLC for XCOM 2 that bridges the XCOM 1 and XCOM 2 storylines), i recommend both the DLC and the OST. that's why i'm so peeved that they pulled the OST: it's good

The retrotech cycle:
1. Thing is cool
2. Thing gets mentioned on youtube
3. The Ebay People
4. Somebody makes replacement parts out of new parts to try and avoid The Ebay People
5. Whoops, the replacement parts were in a single batch of like 30
6. No worries, just replace the whole thing with a raspberry pi
7. Raspberry pis are on backorder until september 2024
I am increasingly coming to the conclusion that the real problem with Matrix lies in two specific people involved in its development (who I am not ready to name yet) who are unable to admit that they were wrong about something, and defending themselves to the point of, frankly, abusive behaviour.

@pericynthion the ASF is *such* a weird organization. it's a trash can for bigcorps like AirBnb and Facebook and IBM and Yahoo, with a let-a-thousand-flowers-bloom approach to technical and process standards
as long as large companies want to flirt with each other by showing off their Java in public, there will be the occasional Apache-rebranded thing that is incredibly useful
but i still don't know how the ASF really works

current generative AI tools operate at, roughly, the level of a first-semestor high school freshman who is morally committed to never paying attention but is good enough at plagiarism that their English teacher, who also isn't paying attention, hasn't flunked them yet (cuz it's still the first semester).
on one hand this is, in all seriousness, an impressive technical achievement
on the other hand, the correct answer is to "should you put a dishonest freshman who isn't paying attention in charge of anything important?" is "no".
"what if they worked for free?" "no."
"what if microsoft/amazon/venture capitalists payed you millions of dollars to hire them?" (where we are now btw) "make sure you get paid in cash, not store credit, and still don't put them in charge of anything important to a real person (venture capitalists aren't real people)."

Google: You have publications that are not openly available
Me: Yes they are
Google: No they're not
Me: They are all available, all of them
Google: Ah yes, but we want you to upload them to this Google Dri—
Me: Ahhh we have different definitions of "open" I see
@smveerman (Misschien toch eens wat inspiratie opdoen bij de bussen in Hamburg, die hebben of hadden ooit mini-bibliotheekjes in de bus)
@smveerman Zit regelmatig in die sprinter, en ik heb nog geen boek gezien 🙃

@foone I've seen something similar a few times, but the clipboard was 'fixed' by copying *anything* from another application that wasn't Firefox into the clipboard. Then Firefox could copy stuff again.
