Safari and Firefox are unaffected by this as they include the Welsh locale by default.

@ilovecomputers I feel like the core of what we loved about the internet is there - it's hiding in chat rooms, little closed member forums, hand crafted websites. It's not gone, just harder to see, but if you dig through the muck, you find yourself in a small meadow with a few other folks who might share with you something good.

is anyone in southwest UK (and can pick up in person) in want of a SE FDHD for a negotiable price? i don't have the space to keep this one.

mouse is missing, starts up and looks for boot so electronics are mostly ok but hard drive isn't, screen is incredibly dim and grows dimmer by the second suggesting either analog board recap or CRT failure

Despite making major headway on my debts (no more credit card!), I do still have a student loan to pay, and this month's payment is due in two days. And I... haven't earned any money this month. It looks like I will need about $75. Grateful for help/shares. 🙇‍♂️

Doctorow discourse 

Jesus fucking Christ, Cory, this is patently ridiculous.

He doesn't engage with Audre Lorde's actual intention & meaning. No, he brings up a Black woman thinker/writer/activist, assures us he knows how "smart" she was, & then dismisses her words out of hand without even superficial engagement by using a cute little analogy.

I'm not trying to nitpick: that is some real colonizer bullshit.

just to be absolutely fucking clear: if you cannot even not put the llm down even though you know you're funding fascism, why should we trust you'll do the smallest thing for queers when we're rounded up by the fascism you're funding?

i will not be entertaining technical arguments for LLMs any longer. if you use an LLM you are marking yourself out as scum and i will treat you as such.

crud

a while ago someone pointed out a page full of free VST instruments that emulate/simulate vintage synths, in a group chat i've since left

does anyone know a page like that? it was not the usual suspects like synth1, each vst was aimed at a specific synth, i believe at least one was roland
