obscure community, music 

There's a user on Youtube called GoldPile who has reuploaded psybient mixes by someone called Spacemind, and a small but persistent community seems to have formed around these mixes, with people wondering for many (9+) years now where Spacemind has gone and whether they'll ever return, and GoldPile having continued the style of mixes, but they now also haven't uploaded for a couple of years.

Every few months to years, Youtube recommendations send me back to one of these mixes, and they are still so good, and there are still people in the comments wondering where they went.

social?, trauma?, "you" 

do you also feel like having to apologize and explain yourself for ever saying no or did you grow up normally?

@joepie91 the environment canada weather app has them now under a 'messages' tab. the 'messages' are articles about the weather 🤦

if a business pays a utility bill with cash then it will credit its cash account (decreasing it) and debit its utilities expense account (increasing it)

if a business has sales revenue then it will debit its cash account (increasing it) and credit its sales revenue account (increasing it)

so credit and debit have opposite meanings depending on the type of account

Latest news from my bumfucknowhere rural town in Poland

> we have absolutely no public transport whatsoever
> so everyone has to drive a car everywhere, for everything
> that means having to drive to get to work, always
> that means places with lots of workers like the hospital, need a lot of parking spaces
> they obviously don't have enough
> so workers of those places park everywhere around, flooding parking spaces of the neighborhood disproportionately
> local residents complain because they don't have anywhere to park their cars that they also need to use to get to everywhere

who needs public transport anyways, that's socialism when a bus

with how things are going in regards to public transport in rural Poland, i can bet whatever you want that EVEN if money for a public transport is obtained and/or secured, it's going to be the most nonsensical and pointless schedule of buses imaginable, making it completely useless to everyone.

Add being unreasonably priced on top of that, and you just cooked a public transport network that serves nobody

So ofc local politicians will claim people are ungrateful and can't appreciate the thing they wanted so much. Project will be scrapped and every time it's brought up again to the council it will be dead on arrival because "look, we tried - people like cars" :3

whoever invented work has clearly never heard of bed

My favorite thing about windows is that if something doesn't work you just can't fix it because it'll say something like "Sorry! Failed to create hotspot! No, we will not give you any additional information!" and like thanks that's so helpful for troubleshooting

nix understanders of the world! it seems i have encountered a usecase where nix should shine! however, in my attempts to make it work, i have encountered but pain and despair.

please prove me wrong and show me that compiling waybar and all its dependencies with -fsanitize=thread is but a simple nix oneliner.

not to be a far left radical but the concept of jail is one of the most fucked up things that anyone has ever come up with

Some of the ideas that went into the design: the exact notification count doesn't actually *matter*, but you may want to know whether someone just pinged you once or repeatedly; and you might want to get a general idea of whether there's been conversation since the ping, or not. All of those states can be represented with these three dots, without yelling "look at me!" at you all the time.
