i hate how disposable laptop floppy drives are. i'm looking at 3 dead ones right now

gonna be putzing around bristol temple meads this friday if anyone wanna punch me in the face

i went to google "peter vogel wendy carlos" and google highlighted (a completely different) "walter" in the middle of an irrelevant result HM thanks google

since i'm on the subject did i fabricate memories of peter vogel being particularly unkind towards wendy carlos? i could've sworn i read it somewhere but in searching i couldn't find it again

also, big, space, etc

i mean as far as i understand there are sound engineers who were still swearing by them up until the 2000s so i'm pretty sure all remaining working units are still in their hands and if not they've become increasingly unobtanium collector's stuff

i want to play with a fairlight one day but i do not want to own one

"how british are you" slider going from "toilet roll" through "loo roll" into "bog roll"

i would love to compile 6.04 myself to see if this bug has been fixed yet but even jwz tells you not to so fuck me i guess

I'm tired.

because, no, setting "disable screen saver" does not turn off locking and the checkbox for disabling locking gets disabled when you turn to that mode, which according to https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man2.html should not blank the screen and yet it does

i guess i'll just write bash scripts to easily do that from the terminal whenever i want to watch a movie on discord, yet another workaround in the pile of workarounds that is linux

k so it seems xscreensaver 6.02+dfsg1-0ubuntu1~20.04.sav1 ignores the "mode: off" setting in ~/.xscreensaver which gets set by the xscreensaver-settings GUI and instead you need to manually change "lock" to "False" to properly inhibit the screensaver

for the love of shit stop telling people to use brave browser

as long as there's the right amount of caffeine and alcohol in my system i can do anything i want

if you ever feel impostor syndrome: i'm constantly googling for the basic html doctype structure and simple tags like link rel stylesheet because i'm apparently too relapse to build up my own boilerplates for myself
