I used to routinely use em-dashes in my writing (memorised the X compose sequence to generate them) but they’re now considered to be a sign of LLM content so I’m sadly retiring them.
(disclaimer: this opinion could perhaps have spent more time in the oven)
Over time the aspect of #Debian that has mattered to me most is the community, and how welcoming and awesome some of it is. This is something to be treasured.
On the other hand, this stands in stark contrast to the subtext of just about any intra-project communication I see now. We are not civil, kind, or patient with each other.
I think this is a serious problem. More so than most technical matters du jour.
@edward jealous of your fab train journey! I normally manage NCL->KGX and Eurostar to Brussels but this year (for stupid reasons) I've had to fly for the first time. Hope to catch you there.
@directhex @gnuplusmatt yeah, although bear in mind the KDE feature is at least 15 years old now.

Partial success on adding a pistorm to my a500! I’ve realised my problems are partly from where I’m coming from. My Amiga a500 never had a HDD, so I always ran stuff from floppies, never “installed” workbench and nothing newer than kickstart 1.3. I’m going to have to get used to all that stuff

Debating getting a pair of quiet comforts. I’ve lost my Sony ANCs to my daughter. I haven’t actually tried a modern QC pair though.
I posted this elsewhere today, and might as well share it here. Current status of my home office. Planning a renovation https://jmtd.net/log/study/2026/office.jpg
@mcc lol it must be someone else then. Sorry about that. Perhaps I've serendipitously introduced you to something interesting to you, perhaps not!
@kinnison Great stuff! Love to see the blog/fediverse integration (something I aspire to)
I shouldn’t toot when I’m angry, but IMHO what little funding CAMHS get is wasted on them
New blog post: Ye Gods https://jmtd.net/log/ye_gods/
Where I miss out on a Bandcamp code from the service GetMusic, but discover an album and artist I really like anyway, and buy all their stuff.
Writing a talk. I always start the same way, and nothing has worked better for me: post-its on clean sheets of paper
A bandcamp discovery I liked so much I’ve gleefully bought the artist’s catalogue of ten albums https://yegods.bandcamp.com/album/the-arcane-paranormal-earth #music
Experimental electronic, a layer above ambient, maybe a bit new age. Does remind me a lot of bits of Coil. Leans to the dark. This album is part of a trilogy.
There’ll be a blogpost about this to come
