@lasombra_br similar aphorism to “never go to bed on an argument”

I’m so angry and disappointed with the Debian web team. I shouldn’t have checked my mail last thing before bed.

New blog post: Nine Inch Nails, Paris, 2025-07-07 https://jmtd.net/log/nin_paris/ #music

@azonenberg @mcc I use nemo (cinnamon’s fork? Not sure) entirely because of the type ahead find thing, and none of the rest of cinnamon (or gnome)

Can LLMs delete code yet?

@metacosm Ah I'm sorry! I considered buying tickets for the Lyon show as well, but didn't before it was cancelled.

Travelling home from Paris after an overnight stop to see Nine Inch Nails. Good show. Still processing it. Feeling my years.

My recent tech-life has enjoyed utter separation between the abomination that is Slack and the dream that is the Remarkable tablet. Until now.

@ross I once put an order in for the tonic (ti escapade variant) before realising I hadn’t paid off the escapade yet so couldn’t use a cycle to work scheme for the tonic. The one that got away…

@ross can you explain the key differences between Cascade and escapade? Besides no drop bars. It’s too subtle for me!

@ross yep!

New fork arrived! #cycling

@zhenech @jpmens neat hack :)

My first #AudioMo toot: the first sound I created from scratch on my new synthesiser

@rivets thank you :)

@argv_minus_one my general perspective has been to use wireless charging to prolong the life of the phone port, but I wonder about the relative cost difference from the less efficient charging and if that’s enough to offset phone life by some amount

Passed with minor corrections!
