I think I just vaulted over the line between "WordPress is too much of a maintenance burden, I want to move away" to "I need to stop using WordPress. Now."

instead of hacking a non profit archival organization one could personally give matt mullenweg the world's largest wedgie

BitWarden is nice. BitWarden is not controlled by any corporation and you don't have to worry about it being someday confined to one platform or tied to some other product. BitWarden supports self-hosting. BitWarden supports passkeys.

All golf courses should be rewilded or made into public parks. No exceptions. As a priority, the 15 or so that are inside London should be immediately turned back to parkland.
i wonder, how many CEOs, presidents, and big cheeses of the business world, actually "earned" their position by climbing to the top, versus how many just happened to start there from the beginning? was "climbing the corporate ladder" a myth from the very start?

In Yoshi's Island, if the "Kamek saying 'OH, MY!!!'" object is inserted anywhere in a level that is not a boss battle, Baby Mario will explode. This will count as completing the level.
a reminder that if you feel like you can help me to get back my one hope at ever escaping the suburban wasteland and be able to Go Do Shit In Public Again, here's the GFM where you can help me with that. https://gofund.me/4192af90
"Riding your trike can be a great way to get in shape and lose weight!*"
*must weigh less than 250 lbs or the vehicle may spontaneously collapse
i also wish some asshole hadn't stolen my e-trike SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS AGO
i wish e-trikes didn't cost 5,000 goddamn dollars
i'd even accept a regular trike if anybody made the damn things but they're uncommon enough in the US that they still cost like $2,500 and come with tight weight restrictions
last boost: GOOD, i wish America could make headway towards discouraging cars and favoring cyclists and/or public transport where possible

It's official. The Revolution happened, and the bicycles won.
Cyclists in #Paris now outnumber drivers.

Iβm looking for a software engineer to join my team at the Internet Archive. We work mostly Pacific hours but are fully and forever remote (we do have a lovely SF HQ if you're in the neighborhood). Our department uses Python, Django, Temporal.io, Postgres, and some in-house database technologies to build web archiving and other digital preservation services for over 1000 partner cultural heritage and memory institutions.

Back in the day I used to use this Winamp plugin to simulate vinyl noise: https://winampheritage.com/plugin/izotope-vinyl/39214 - I kind of wish there was an equivalent for foobar2000. (I know there used to be a foobar plugin that enabled the use of Winamp plugins but I'm not sure if that supported DSPs, and I think it stopped working several foobar versions ago.)

@mcc I've wanted something like the prototype steam controller that used a trackball for the longest time. I want more games that use trackballs and spinners. There's almost no USB support for them, and it's tragic.

I ported a USB DisplayLink driver to @polpo's PicoGUS card so I could use it to watch MS-DOS games make changes to the VGA palette in realtime. Specifically, I ported "libdlo" to use the TinyUSB stack in host mode, then spent way too much time optimizing it until it was sufficiently fast.

I trip over the coolest $hit π I've loved MIDI tech since my first Atari ST, but I don't remember ever seeing this in the 90's?!

Urgent PSA for all trans folk referred to London GIC (aka Tavistock GIC, Tavistock and Portman; formerly Charing Cross) who are still on the waiting list
Hey folks 
You may receive an SMS text from +44 7860 039092 or similar. It will read along the lines of:
From: Tavistock GIC
Hello, you are on the waiting list waiting to be seen at the GIC you were referred between 20## - 20##. We understand during this wait some patients will no longer wish or need to be seen.
Please respond to our question via our secure portal within the next 14 days. https://drdoctor.thirdparty.nhs.uk/???????????????
Thank you.
We've seen screenshots of people of people referred 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. This was the Reddit post that made us aware of this. A friend of ours, referred in 2019-2020, received and responded last week.
It very much looks like the NHS powers that be have contracted a third party to reach out to patients on this GIC's waiting list, in the hopes that many won't respond in time for any number of reasons. They're trying to artificially reduce their huge waiting list via nefarious means, rather than tackling the systemic issues.
If you have been referred to this GIC and haven't yet received an SMS text, or you have changed your mobile phone number or any other details, you can attempt to log in to the main login portal without the unique code.
Please spread this far and wide. People need to know about this, so they don't lose their place in the queue and have to be referred again π₯Ί
Lives could literally depend on this π
