If you ever thought to yourself, "Wow, I'm pretty sure the OMD synthpop hit 'If You Leave' from the Pretty In Pink soundtrack would actually sound really good as a 50s-style rockabilly ballad," then you will be gratified to know that Paul and Storm and I had EXACTLY the same thought, and actually made JUST THAT VERSION of this very song. In fact, we made this just for you. You're welcome. We love you.

@mhoye running red lights ain't cool. Why risk your "working dad" life to shave seconds of your trip time?

Wonderful people of the fediverse, please find below the rant of the month. Here is a small excerpt:
... spending half of the planet's engineering efforts to add chatbot support to every application under the sun when half of the industry hasn't worked out how to test database backups regularly.

@matthartley well, Iron Maiden did help with it...
@foolishowl @lori browser's tend to optimistically grab spare RAM in absence of external memory pressure. They'll release it too. So very hard to asset they use "too much", never mind some tools that multi-count shared RAM between the various processes
@MMGirlfriend Laundry Files?

📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.
Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities

Police have told anyone heading to see Swift in Cardiff that extra officers - including armed police, officers on horseback and facial recognition technology - would be deployed so people can expect a "safe and welcoming environment".
Nothing says “welcoming” quite like guns and live wide scale facial recognition cameras.

Lol Neil Gaiman says
"ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences."
This is one of the better ones I have seen.
@david_chisnall @signalapp @Mer__edith oh, they'll come via the app stores first. Then OS that allow side loading. Then OS that allow unsigned apps. Then compilers.
@aral neat! Would be interested in full review. Like, does the pen dock to the tablet anywhere? Or will I loose it like you have the rest of the Lego?

So, first issue, popovers (eg., drop-down menus, app menus, etc.) don’t work on GTK 4 apps (like System Settings in GNOME) on touchscreen devices. Three-year old bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1523
I guess that means tablets are not currently supported under GNOME.
Going to see if KDE Plasma works on touchscreen Linux tablets.
*sigh!*
