Tickets to Olivia Rodrigo’s two new shows in Los Angeles went on presale this week, and — predictably — Ticketmaster’s site wasn’t able to cope. @404mediaco’s @jasonkoebler writes about what might be happening — specialized browsers that allow ticket brokers to buy hundreds of tickets at once.

Accidentally walked into a symphony

@mcc #NullSector at #EMFCamp was definitely a place where Interesting Things happened - can recommend for 2026, but bring earplugs

If it doesn’t load quickly or properly, I just don’t watch it, which ultimately hurts Google.

I happens to me but all i thought was that YouTube was bad not Firefox.

ICYMI Mozilla #Firefox 117 has a built-in translation mode that can be manually enabled.

Unlike Chrome and Edge, the Firefox translations are all done locally on your own computer, not sent to Google or Microsoft for their files.

Dunno about you but that suits my ass to a 'T'. I hate it when soulless corporations read over my shoulder.

I wrote a post with how to enable this here:

On Wednesday night I did what I suspect will be the only hustings in the Manchester Withington constituency.
This was held at the Didsbury Mosque, and it was *rowdy*.

Forty years ago today, Bob Scheifler decided to let the world play...

"I've spent the last couple weeks writing a window system for the VS100. I stole a fair amount of code from W, surrounded it with an asynchronous rather than a synchronous interface, and called it X." - https://www.talisman.org/x-debut.shtml

And @XOrgFoundation is still keeping it alive 4 decades later!

today's petty law I would make if I could:

all product photos for women's pants that allege to have pockets must depict an average size recent model smartphone inside one of those pockets.

no specific requirement for pocket size. some people don't need big pockets and that's fine. but if you claim to have them, you have to show exactly how useful they are(n't).

Ok so I could really use some help here by anyone who knows anything about xrandr and displays on Linux.

How can I turn
hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_timings=400 0 50 30 50 1280 0 30 20 30 0 0 0 60 0 43240000 6 hdmi_drive=1

Into something I can plug into xrandr?
