Like, don't get me wrong, I like this keyboard in general, but I have never before used a keyboard that would gradually start wobbling because you can't properly tighten one of the three locking nuts due to a design error in the casing, and the tenting mechanism 100% relies on those nuts being tightened

I'm seeing the effects of stress on myself and nearly everyone around me. We are being ground down.
Taking care of yourself and others is fighting back. It is doing something, and it does matter.
Time for my periodic complaint about the Glove80's godawful tenting system

NASA's switch to Linux in space was driven by reliability, flexibility, and security concerns. The International Space Station (ISS) originally relied on Windows, but astronauts frequently encountered crashes and instability. In 2013, NASA announced that all laptops on the ISS would transition to Debian, a Linux-based operating system, to improve stability and control over software.
This change wasn’t just about reliability. Windows was much more vulnerable to malware, and in 2007, a worm named W32.Gammima.AG spread to the ISS. With Linux, NASA gained the ability to modify and customize the system for mission-critical applications without depending on proprietary software. Today, Linux powers much of NASA’s space infrastructure, from ISS systems to Mars rovers and beyond.

PSA about using 🌶️ spicy 🌶️ terms and names on Mastodon
Don't censor or cuteify words like nazi or names like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Cute euphemisms or replacements may be necessary on centralized platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, Insta, YouTube, etc. It's not necessary here and it harms understandability.
You can — and should — just call racism racism and racists racist. A wider number of people will be able to accurately understand what you're saying if you just use the right words.
Using the actual names of people at least once per post lets people decide when and where they're going to read whatever vile horseshit various people are up to. It harms no one. It's just good practice.

okay, your wine fork launcher/wrapper integrates with a number of stores, but does it integrate with piracy?

@joepie91 oh yes, youtube tabs have gotten way more intensive recently in firefox. i think it's to encourage people to switch to chrome.

Quick friends what android games OR SNES roms should I grab before my flight. Note that playing any action heavy games on SNES phone emulator is fucking miserable so I ain't doing that, they gotta be slow
(Or other emulators + roms I guess)

Net nog weer een Brabantse regenboogvlag verzonden. Wie wil er ook eentje?
Zie https://etten-leur-divers.nl/vlag
Ik verkoop ze voor een paar euro boven kostprijs om er niet op toe te hoeven leggen als er eens een keer iets mis gaat. Eventuele opbrengsten steek ik in ons vrijwilligerswerk voor Etten-Leur Divers, T-Nederland, en COC Tilburg-Breda.
Boost=lief
Some testing later, and I'm now certain that it's specifically Youtube (and *only* Youtube) that slows down Firefox to a crawl.

harping on the most boring and most common pride slogan
"Love Is Love" is such a great way of saying jack shit when that's precisely what right-wing chuds are trying to outlaw anyway, again, and when there is far, far more at stake along with it (all based on the concepts of further racialising, bodily autonomy, gender, hell even positions during sex, etc.).
I don't want to see that slogan this year. Come up with something better.

I really enjoyed this video from @bernadettebanner which demonstrates how check the quality of clothes before buying them, without looking at the price tag.

⚠️GASLIGHTING PSA⚠️
This is the week where people become suggestible to propaganda!
!!! YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE !!!
Everything Trump, Musk and their sycophants say publicly is a carefully crafted lie designed to trick you into believing what they want, EVEN IF YOU HATE THEM
DO NOT pay attention to what they say!
DO pay attention to what they do!

duck duck fedi for software
is there a program for sway that will automatically configure outputs to be positioned next to each other on the virtual plane of outputs? …so that i can connect any number of outputs (with different resolutions) and will be able to each them all by mouse? it is not very important that their virtual neighborship represents the physical layout of the corresponding monitors of outputs

CW request, valentines
please cw valentines day stuff. It's heteronormative, capitalist and ableist shit.
(Please, if you enjoy it, celebrate it)
For my own sanity, please make sure my filters work correctly
Office: cleaned!
(Or well, cleaned as much as is viable with my current lifting restrictions, anyway)
NixOS, FOSS ideology
This whole thing is also an excellent example of how, despite the insistence from fossbros, "you can just fork it" doesn't magically eliminate the politics and the social factor in FOSS, by the way.

I got a small empty bubble wrap packet from China.
The customs label claims it is "outdoor goggles", which is not a thing I ever ordered and also would not have fit in this packet.
I am so confused.
