dos/windows batch files are so much fun.
what does this output?
SET FOO = BAR
ECHO %FOO%
@VD15 we've been proven that even infinite free access to the whole sum of humanity's knowledge doesn't stop people from being fucking retarded and in fact it seems to make things worse as a direct result of everyone having a loud voice and idiots having the numbers advantage. I don't think we're recovering from this any time soon.
99.9% of the time #NixOS is the best OS experience I've ever had. No dependency issues, no accumulating leftover garbage, everything Just Works™.
The remaining 0.1% is cases like now, where I'm trying to mod OpenMW and MOMW turns out to not be in nixpkgs, nor have a flatpak, nor an AppImage, nor work under steam-run's pseudo-LFS and going through 5 separate poorly written documentations on how to possibly make it run makes me want to nuke my whole setup from space and get Debian.

W Nowym Dworze spłonął dom dziecka. Dzieciaki straciły wszystko - ciuchy, zabawki, podręczniki. Zostało im tylko to, co mieli na sobie podczas ewakuacji. Dzieciaki już wystarczająco w życiu przeszły. Zróbmy fedi efekt!

@pablo nie wiem, ale IC nie ma w zwyczaju spiskować z Warszawiakami żeby usunąć opłacalną linię żeby inni nie mieli xD Z tego co słyszałem o niej to nie miała dużo sensu, niespecjalnie się opłacała obu stronom, i używali jej głównie ludzie w podróżach służbowych, bo firmowych pieniędzy tak nie szkoda na 20 minut różnicy. Ale to było kilka lat temu, mogli coś od wtedy usprawnić...
@trinsec we just got snow again for the second time this winter after the initial wave and I'm very happy. I took out my old sled then, and fully intend to use it with friends later :D
@pablo to nie akcja charytatywna, jeśli ludzie nie korzystali z linii wystarczająco żeby była opłacalna to ją zamknęli. Najwidoczniej Warszawiacy faktycznie kupują bilety w góry i nad morze.

#UnifiedPush is on everybody's lips when it comes to #decentralization or #deGoogle or wanting to cut off #BigTech from your live.
But did you know how it was started? How many times its destiny intersected with #FDroid ?

Salim Ali's Swift
A large scimitar-winged swift of valleys, cliffs, and gorges. Nests in buildings and rock crevices; often gives a chattering scream when entering and leaving the nest. Dusky brown with a pale grayish belly, bright white rump, and forked tail. Essentially indistinguishable from the closely related Pacific Swift, but ranges do not overlap; Salim Ali’s Swift is restricted to the highlands of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and adjoining foothill regions.

@BrodieOnLinux check this out lmao
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/804#event-21771589127
TL;DR:
>the Steam Deck PIN can't be entered via a numpad or any other sensible way on mouse&keyboard
>yes, even on the numpad
>issue gets created in 2022
>only activity is people stumbling on it with the same problem and bumping and/or expressing how ridiculous this is
>100% ghosted by Valve
>in 2024 finally some activity!
>whoever kisak-valve is mentions it in another issue that he immediately closes as duplicate
>people ask for any response
>100% ghosted for another 1.5 years
>2 weeks ago someone randomly finds it fixed
>someone else confirms
>kisak-valve marks as Need Retest
>another person confirms
>kisak-valve closes "per the last couple comments"
I bet $10 he didn't even confirm it on their side, would be bonus funny if it turns out to not actually work. Fucking volvo man, every time.

It is absolutely *wild* to me that media organizations still do not put RSS/Atom 
feed info front-and-center on their websites.
One needs to dive into HTML code or use external tools to discover their feeds.
It is wild because this is one of the easiest, least-effort ways to reach their audience. Encouraging RSS/Atom use is a phenomenal way of becoming less reliant on gatekeepers like huge social media platforms.
Come on!

Playing some relaxing cat music loudly via a bluetooth speaker. It seems to help (again) against those fireworks in the background, both kitties are finally relaxing somewhat on their pillows now. They're still skittish though.

"Gauge was determined from the weight of a solid sphere of lead that will fit the bore of the firearm and is expressed as the multiplicative inverse of the sphere's weight as a fraction of a pound"
I have an idea: americans are never allowed to make units ever again. especially if they call it "gauge"
