    RE: https://fosstodon.org/@bradlinder/117303682539173249 Lead clearly buried. Deezer is involved, don&#39;t bother, waste of time, deliberate nostalgia grab.

    FFS @joplinapp , you do realise thats the EXACT same sales pitch the &amp;#39;A.I.&amp;#39; trash peddlers are making ? Right ? https://mastodon.social/@joplinapp/116477499963857356 Notes are an AID to memory, not a sodding replacement!

    RE: https://fosstodon.org/@bradlinder/116479015403273354 Someone needs to tell microslop that whilst, yes, we are still in April, they&amp;#39;re a bit fucking late.

    RE: https://hachyderm.io/@evacide/116488871146057795 Lets be brutally honest with ourselves. The current trend of governmental attempts globally at age-gating social media, communications networks, and worst of all in some places, computer operating systems, are nothing more than hamfisted repression being meated out against the young by the old before they have the wherewithal and right to vote those doing it out of office.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@sil/116512996064030207 Pretty sure the same term should cover such devices ok regardless of manufacturer.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@biglesp/116533180767568122 Takes me back to a time where I did most of my music discovery through OSTs. I should go digging to see if I still have my copy or if it was stolen along with others 2+ decades ago........

    Musing on the days when we had to wait for a magazine cover disc or a paid-by-post one to get the latest stable release of a distro. Now I&amp;#39;m pulling 17Gb of ISOs from a local mirror with a list file and a read loop.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/116551859964421741 Is there a github action for emptying README.md and writing only the URL to a new repository on a new host service to it ?

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@alpenglow/116564164305830971 Suddenly banging is heard from inside the cargo area, CERN staff in lab coats and hardhats gingerly open the back, a cloud of vapor escapes backlit by multicoloured flashing lights. The chorus of CARAMELLDANSEN plays from within and becomes incrementally louder with no sign of stopping......

    RE: https://mas.to/@skeletor/116574234878702280 Trying to calm oneself after (and pending more pemdimh next week) C-Suite jackassery at work. Said jackassery is causing me to travel further from home than I&amp;#39;ve ever been since lockdown, for reasons that in no way justify it, which will also disrupt ongoing work.

    RE: https://crispsandwi.ch/@mattround/116584417390763717 And they PAY shittytube to promote that trash. Which makes you wonder how tommy two-names does so given he claims to be broke.

    @oshwassociation so you&amp;#39;re perfectly ok with hardware vendors that not only openly sponsor software projects headed by bigots and hatemongers, but also ones that won&amp;#39;t admit the error, double down, and lash out at those that call them out on it ? Noted. @frameworkcomputer

    I still refuse to believe @sil is actually a grandparent. Currently running with the theory he decided it was time to produce an infant clone through parthenogenesis in order to get more work done.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116615054812720309 First step in alleviating common misunderstandings about VPNs. You DON&amp;#39;T DOWNLOAD A FUCKING VPN. You download a VPN &amp;quot;CLIENT&amp;quot; ffs.

    Thought for the day. If you are a *competent* internet user. You know. Any *online* service that is age gated, requires an identification *verified* by a third party, or demands personally identifiable information to provide that online service, is not one you need in your life and is run by a company that should not exist. This remains the case regardless of what incompetent legislators demand.
