We've installed lights aboard Pino and it looks real pretty.

Nice short film from Alluring Arctic, reminds me think of Alvah Simon' winter.

We don't know where this red tabby comes from, on which boat, but once in a while, we are graced by the cat's presence.

I haven't met a single person in Austria that has watched The Sound Of Music.

I hardly ever connect my laptop to external monitors, we don't have space for that sort of thing aboard Pino. I can never remember how to use xrandr and it's always a stressful time to figure it out again each, on the fly, usually without internet connection, when it's time to hook up to the stage projectors.

Today someone told me about arandr, a gui version of the thing, WHERE HAS YOU BEEN ALL ME LIFE

@hypha@cafe.mycelium.locahlo.st I found an english translation of the poem the guy in the train was trying to help us translate, although he said "Die wollten nach Amerikan reisen" maybe he was trying to make a joke?:

In Hamburg lebten zwei Ameisen,
Die wollten nach Australien reisen.
Bei Altona auf der Chaussee
Da taten ihnen die Beine weh,
Und da verzichteten sie weise
Dann auf den letzten Teil der Reise.

So will man oft und kann doch nicht
Und leistet dann recht gern Verzicht.

I dropped off discord after taking psychic damage from someone flooding the channel with questions and feeding the answers to chatgpt, so they could triangulate to something like a uxntal compiler.

I think a bunch of other folks bounced right out at that time because of that guy. The cost of this one person's trying to save time was definitely not a net positive, there was no time gained whatsoever.

Zig, julia, ocaml, sbcl, etc.. are getting a similar treatment right now from joelreymont who, at this point must have waste 10 lifetimes worth of FOSS developer time, in the guise of trying to save time.
