Hi everybody! First of all sorry about the recent issues with Computer Fairies and downtime. It turns out, we have some issues with our storage that will take a few days to sort out. Until then, we're bringing the instance back online, which will still show some issues but you should be able to make and read text posts.

Uptime is good for Linux, but it turns out uptime isn't so good for Ruby on Rails.

as the years went on, i started seeing more and more stuff that was web-based rather than being an actual computer program i could own. PHP forums, java applets, flash, javascript SPAs. people tried to make websites do more and more, but they still always felt like... not real software? there was always something janky and bad about the whole experience, or the design, and that feeling's never really gone away for me. everything on a computer is like this now, even the OS feels like a web page

Today I learned that Apple Air Pods Pro in noise cancelling mode perfectly cancels the clicking of a geiger counter. You would not know it was making a sound. I hope that this is not relevant to /your/ day.

this keyboard has N-key rollover but what's the point given that no software supports the ability to write multiple characters on top of eachother by mashing them at the same time

a miserable pile of secrets.

It's a huge pain in the ass tbh. It's so that you can run smol computers inside your regular computer, because developers have a hard time understanding how your computer works and want you to just use theirs.

If there’s one good thing I’ll say about Facebook, it’s that they know full well how blocking should work.

You block someone on Facebook, it’s like they cease to exist entirely. They’re gone. No trace of them left behind. Thanos-snapped out of existence.

More services need to make blocking exactly like that.

Wow... Winamp is open source now?

I mean, I'm using Jellyfin these days but I can't say I'm not at least curious about this development. Hopefully the chiptune situation on linux can get better as a result. #linux #audio #opensource
