I am stepping back from the #Tusky project with immediate effect.

I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via #OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those to the project's private "Tusky Contributors" Matrix channel the financial admins tone policed the feedback, refused to engage with the concerns I and others raised, and demanded the discussion be stopped.

There is too much detail for a thread, so please read write.as/nikclayton/stepping-b.

young developer: "Wow, how did you get these results? Did you use a traditional db or a vector db?"

me: "lol I used perl & sort on a 42MB text file. it took 1.2 seconds on an old macbook"

Does anyone else get the feeling that has some similarities with ? Namely how objects can contain others of their own kind, they can only have one script attached to them and how created objects can be instanced or left in the scene?

PERCEPTION [Easy: Failure] - Something or someone on the periphery of your awareness passes by, but you fail to take notice before it's too late to grasp. You turn around suddenly and look. The mostly empty street is as you saw it moments ago. There are children playing quietly on the sidewalk. A lanky man is repairing his bicycle. A boisterous pod of young adults is wandering by on their way to the beach. A cool breeze blows through your hair and rustles the leaves. Everything is normal.

Yes! They have now accepted some of my edits, so Google maps now has the correct address for my place, just a few more edits left to be accepted and then it's all done

dog goes "bark".
cow goes "moo".
fox goes "okay so what you're gonna want to do is open up a terminal,"

touchHLE now has… a very primitive license text viewer!!!!!!

I know, most people won't even use it, but it's necessary for the Android release, and it's the actual reason I spent all that time trying to get UIKit into a vaguely usable state.

This is it. I give up. I have deleted every single C++ line I've written.

I hate everything about this. I am too old for this shit. I'll just add vtables to my C structs.

from the Inquiry into the rental and housing affordability crisis in Victoria where I and one of my comrades represented @RAHU

does there exist a device which:
- is bluetooth
- presents as a bluetooth device to a computer
- lets me have multiple connections hot at the same time
- muxes these down into one bluetooth channel

I want something that lets me hear all my audio sources, through one bluetooth headset. Laptop + desktop + tablet + phone.

Instead of only the active one.

As a last resort I am willing to pursue raspberry pi implimentations if you have ideas.

please boost.
