Framework 13 has everything working in Linux.

But in fact, not all power saving features of AMD 7040 are supported in Linux yet.

The good thing, patches have been sent and I expect support soon. Here’s a details:

For the record, #fluffychat, another Matrix client, was the first application supporting UnifiedPush, 3 years ago. Thanks again for the impetus you gave to the projet :)

I saw this online somewhere and I just had to recreate it. This is my coding happy place.

Most of the time when I make my small video blogs, I need two kind of operations
- concat two or more videos
- add some background melody (to hide some noise)

I used to use video editors for this and it wasn't fun. The same actions again and again.

Recently, I learned that it's an easy task for FFmpeg, and can be scripted.

There are two steps.
1. Make a list of paths of video file in a "source file" like this
```
file 'input1.mp4'
file 'input2.mp4'
```
then concat it with
`ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mp4`

2. Add background music (and repeat it if necessary ). 0.05 = 5% - is its volume.

`ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -stream_loop -1 -i background.wav -filter_complex "[1:a]volume=0.05[a1]; [0:a][a1]amix=inputs=2:duration=first:dropout_transition=2" output.mp4`

Portugal just ran on 100% renewables for six days in a row

For nearly a week, the country of 10 million met customer needs with wind, hydro and solar — a test run for operating the grid without fossil fuels.

The bill for my knee injection of hyaluronic acid. Note that the injection itself made the clinic a perfectly reasonable $314. The drug was $4900.
I checked the cost of making the stuff. $1100 a kg. Thus, the 48mg injection was billed at over 20,000 times cost.

We are all insane to be living with this madness. Insane.

#FirefoxRelay Premium is finally available in the #Czech Republic, so I subscribed to it. It's cheap (23 CZK~$1/month).

It's not just a handy way to anonymize your email, it's also a way to financially support the only independent web browser left.
