Last Notes npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…m7l3 It could be partly that the sound is different. Humans are like "gronfle smack gronfle" and cats do a little "am am am". npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price 🎶 Despite all my rage I am still seeing ads on your page npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…v2v2 I wonder if they standardised it from implementations that decided to use -1 for "nanoseconds unsupported" or something like that. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price The collection grows. (As does the grey in my beard.) npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Wishing you all a 3 → 74 day today npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…ds0l That's the first time I've heard of teabags being used as a wound treatment. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…v2v2 @nprofile…ds0l I have to wonder if the pizza industry will ever switch to metric. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…9rq3 Feeder's a blast from the past.

Here we go... npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…x759 My SPDX tag forehead tattoo has a lot of people asking questions already answered by the tattoo npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price What is a "CLI warrior"? npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price When you wake up you will pronounce baseline like vaseline, 3 - 2 - 1 you're awake npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…x759 "One of the very first things I learnt when I got to join McVitie's was chocolate side down to eat the digestive." npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Whatever happened to Frets On Fire... npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price The Elder Scrolls series is like a can of Pringles. I want to go back to it over and over, yet each time I'm left with a deep sense of dissatisfaction. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…ef5n Are you working in 2D or 3D? There might well be a more convenient solution for 2D that isn't available in 3D that I don't know about. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…ef5n I don't think all collision objects would provide a signal so raycasting and checking for collisions every frame is the usual way to accomplish it. It's pretty lightweight unless you have an incredible number of collision shapes in the scene. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price A different kind of #mosstodon post. I haven't opened my terrarium in well over a year. It definitely needs pruning and probably relocating to somewhere with more light (like, Spain?) It seems to be doing well though, no algae build up or bug infestation that I can see. Not bad for my first terrarium. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Making pancakes a week before pancake day like some kind of British renegade npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…x759 I've got the 2nd edition from 2001 :) npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Every time someone posts about switching the kernel to C++ npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Free video game idea: You're a librarian aggressively defending a library of old, valuable books from robots and "bosses" and such. Title: Project Shootenberg. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Roses are red, npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price I think some of the replies to this poll are missing the historical importance of wobbly windows and the technological advancements in the open source ecosystem that they represented. I feel privileged and grateful to have been present at the dawning of the wobbly window era. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Are there any open source tools for audio noise generation (the kind of noise some people like to fall asleep/study/work to)? I couldn't find any when I searched but it seems like the kind of thing there would be an open source project for. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price The face of a cat whose plan to lick the melted butter from a crumpet plate was tragically foiled npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Me: Do you have any vitamin D? npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…32kp There's a matrix link at the bottom of this page https://fosdem.org/2025/manuals/program/speaker/ npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price That unprivileged #Linux filesystem mount issue comes up every few years. @lwn has covered it well https://lwn.net/Articles/755593/ npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @nprofile…2pms He's living the dream npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1700…8tth I feel the same way about runner beans npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Your office door opens outwards. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub198t…hasj Are they bacon flavoured or npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Uh oh people in my feed are talking about filesystems again. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1tvq…l6jk Winamp NOPEn source npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1700…8tth Yikes, that's some clumsy spraying. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price If you had told me a few years ago that Microsoft was working on a Rust ext2 implementation for Linux, I wouldn't have believed you.[email protected] / npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1700…8tth I think that's an idea worth cultivating npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Hand bunting = love npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub198t…hasj The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Bar npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Pets npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price Nice to have good strolling weather for a change.

I don't know if there are any quick and easy solutions though, it seems like a tricky human/cultural problem. Maybe an awareness campaign and a warning or posting guidelines added to the reply text box would help a little. After that maybe admins could add it to their server rules so that it's a reportable offense. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1kfq…wrn0 Oh ick 😬 npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1kfq…wrn0 I can relate, Mika has been catching mice so much lately 😪 npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price I can't boost them all so I encourage you to follow @npub1ulm…hweg and @npub1nxx…wsjl for their incredible design patent discoveries. npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1ulm…hweg I can't help thinking, what happens if/when fediverse instances start receiving similar complaints? npub19sr0mrv6f2hhqr5hymsv5ng42w33way2tx6qmphthw8r9emkcapqenjm76 Andy Price @npub1c35…9pmh I started using Comic Mono in my terminals for a giggle over a year ago and it just stuck.
