The debate site is stormed by fascist militia, most democrats in the building are killed. Trump survives thanks to far right connections and mainstream media plays him up as a profile in courage.

never stopped at my house

Plastic bottles weren’t invented in the 21st century

proof-of-work blockchains. instead of a utopian decentralized currency we have a utopia for scammers and day traders, and uses a ton of energy at a time when we need to conserve to combat global warming.

In some religions walking away from the church means being excluded from family, social, and business contacts. So cutting ties with everyone you know basically.

more music related subs, like bluegrass, old time, etc. and active users to go in them.

You can’t run the linux I use (nixos) without the command line.

The mobile linuxes are way more GUI oriented. Android is first on that list. But also the various other linuxes that target phones, with UIs like phosh. On those I’d say you can mostly never touch a terminal.

But I don’t think you’ll ever be able to do ALL the things without touching the command line though. There’s a lot of software that’s intended to run in a no-GUI situation, like a headless server or embedded. Sometimes a GUI interface will be provided, but I doubt that kind of thing will ever be GUI-first.

I use keepassxc to generate the code.

pretty sweet. wonder what the price will be.

Ok, I thought the article was saying libadwaita was to add special features and styles for use in gnome specific apps.

So I guess the implication here is apps written explicitly for libadwaita will not be usable on generic GTK. So a calculator, for instance, that uses AdwDialog won’t be executable on a platform that doesn’t support libadwaita, like windows.

Will an app dependent on libadwaita be usable on linux without gnome? Like xfce, or xmonad?

They were etymotic too, same brand as the filters in my molded ones. But they didn’t do very well for me. Its been a long time so maybe the new ones are better.

For me, yes. My ears ring all the time due to listening to loud things in my youth. I don’t want that getting any worse. You can’t buy new ears.

I had a pair of 30$ musicians earplugs, but they really changed what I could hear. At concerts I couldn’t understand the lyrics; basically they changed the audible frequencies too much.

Got 200$ moldeds made and I don’t feel like I’m missing out when I wear them, at least not much. I can understand lyrics better now. They aren’t completely neutral, but close enough. I keep them in a pill bottle attached to my keyring so I always have them at a show or the movies, or wherever else reckless people are in charge of amplification.

I do think its an odd situation where you go to a show and the volume is crushingly loud, and everyone in the audience is wearing earplugs. At least the music doesn’t get overwhelmed by people yelling out drink orders at the bar. Alternative: silent disco style, with wireless headphones.

Too late on the tinnitus, but at least it doesn’t seem to be getting worse. Lost count of how many concerts and even movies I’ve used them in by now.

Descent had me reacting to the cashier door at fast food places

got the breville bambino and its awesome. drip coffee maker has gone into the garage now, and every morning is coffee christmas.

I have molded plugs, the filters are etymotics. Cost was about 200$ at an audiologist that did the molding. You can get filters with varying levels of attenuation, I think mine are 20db and they recommend 25 for drummers.

I had etymotic musicians earplugs before, but they never worked that well. I couldn’t understand lyrics with them in, for instance. But I can with these.

Aeron chair. Got it to use at work, used to get a tired back and now I don’t. Have had it at least 20 years and no desire to get anything else.

Basically high tech elves. Having passed through a self imposed disaster, humanity faces it’s destructive greed and overcomes it, achieving a profound integration with nature, while retaining the technical knowledge of the past. The new culture is stable and long lasting, and heals the blighted areas of the planet. The ecosystem becomes more resilient and more abundant than ever before.

Got it working. The problem was really dumb: I use xmonad. When I run mixx, it opens a modal dialog where you have to select a file, or cancel. I didn’t notice the dialog, maybe too many windows or it ended up behind the main window. Dialog never returns, program never gets off the splash screen. 😅 Still get the warnings and errors, but apparently that’s normal.

Anyway, working now, definitely a lot of bells and whistles in this. Inspiring if I ever want to take up DJing.
