maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

dont really want to be perceived in an afk sort of way

i gotta stay hopeful

one day i'll make things again

i really do hope that linux becomes barely borderline usable, one day. it'll be nice to not have to pirate windows for once

in the time it has so far taken me to still unsuccessfully set up a samba share on a completely up to date linux installation i could have done several trips over a 32gb flash drive to transfer the ~80gb of data i need to between two computers that are right next to each other

Sorry, Ubuntu experienced an internal error.

i find the momentary flashes of "error communicating with TPM chip" whenever linux boots so fucking funny like yeah buddy please keep looking for a TPM chip on this 2008 thinkpad

if your programming language requires me to manually do +/-0.5 checks in order to round a number to nearest integer because the only rounding it has built-in is functionally a floor, it's not a programming language built for the year 2023

this is brought to you by someone who is chronically attention starved who was constantly told that it's ok to want attention and simultaneously not given the attention everyone told me it was ok to want.

please. i beg you. we could be #DoingBetterTogether (with apologies, and a request to help me spread this, to @hotdogsladies)

folks, if you like something someone made, tell them with, i beg you, more than a zombie fucking mindless click on a star/heart symbol on your 4k mind control video monitor

podcastey and influencey types are always trying to push for "hey try this one weird trick challenge for a week or month" and i propose, take a month of your online life to 100% replace """liking""" online content and instead replying to it with actual human words

computer sciece was a fucking mistake

what huh? GeoTIFF? oh yeah we have a library for that

It hasn't been updated since 2009? It doesn't build anymore because whatever Perl does to build libraries has changed? The only search result for the error you're getting is a chinese forum post about the same error in a completely unrelated package? Huh?

back at it again at the dependency hell, this time the flavor is dealing with GIS data

"if the fediverse doesn't do x y z" do people still think that "fediverse" is the name of a company with rule over every single activitypub node?
