@bluesabre @xubuntu Appreciate Xubuntu team's mature approach towards legacy app and platform support: keeping the LTS as stable as possible, but with a clear, transparent sunset plan. Kudos to the team!

Mein Laptop friert bei Erschütterung einfach ein und ich muss ihn neu booten, dann ist alles gut bis ich das nächste Mal wütend auf den Tisch haue, oder, eben, mir das Knie stoße.
Wtf.
Ideen? Aufmachen, alle Stecker prüfen ist meine einzige.

Some software platforms are *complex*. Even integrating two systems that use the same technologies, can be fraught with a thousand small barriers.

@fastmail took three decades to finally integrate the #email systems of POBox into #Fastmail email systems, and this week published an interesting examination of what all that involved.

I spent a bit of time today recovering from the weekend and clearing out my mending pile. This bag from Market Basket had some places where the panels were pulling apart from each other and the binding was falling off. I pulled off the crummy binding and replaced it with some nylon webbing, and ta-da, bag is useful again.

From a purely capitalist perspective, this is a terrible use of time, right? I could just buy a new bag from MB for, like, what, $5? $10? And I could have used that time in Economically Productive Pursuits to Increase The GDP, and someone in an exploited country could have made another one and shipped it across the ocean, and in a couple years that binding would rip and I’d buy a new one and we’d just keep doing that dance until the heat death of the universe.

Or I could spend the time and effort to keep it out of a landfill for a little longer. So I did. And it’s a small thing but it’s better than nothing. Bonus: bag is now significantly gayer.

We can fix things if we take the time.

@icing i don't care about sonos at all (i personally think cables are superior by offering best quality at lowest latency), but i hope this will be taken as an example that #MoveSlowAndFixThings is the better idea.

Yo, we need a vacation from these difficult, life-saving jobs! Did you see the rec from our vacation agent? The sand glaciers in Denial National Park in the Caribbean look awesome.

Let's book it!

Multi-Device-Bluetooth-Audiorouting unter Android – wobei, streich das "Bluetooth", für USB- oder Klinke-Audiorouting gilt dasselbe – fühlt sich einfach seit mindestens 5 Jahren so an als wäre ich der einzige Mensch auf der Welt, der zwei Audiogeräte gleichzeitig mit seinem Telefon verbinden würde.

Aber Hauptsache es gibt ne KI auf dem Ding, die Tiergeräusche abspielen und schlechte Witze erzählen kann.
