It's hip to
#NixOS is now 100% reproducible.
This is a *big* deal. It means everyone building NixOS will get the exact same binary, meaning you can now trust any source for it because you can verify the hash.
This has been worked on for a long time, it’s awesome that it is now done!

Fun #macOS bit: If an app’s info.plist doesn’t contain
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
<string>True</string>
not only the app’s content is blurry, but also the title bar and menu bar items. (Sponsored by #SpeedCrunch https://bitbucket.org/heldercorreia/speedcrunch/issues/871/012-on-mac-has-blurry-text)
MIT runs Jira v4.4 from 2011, apparently (https://jira.mit.edu).
I really don't want to think about Bluetooth as much as I do. I have a tiny bit of hope the Bluetooth SIG will fix all the issues with LE Audio, but I also have a bit of doubt.
I love it when Amazon sellers lie. Today: A Bluetooth audio dongle claimed to support AAC.
Seems weird to me that the #Bluetooth developers need to invent new audio codecs (e.g. #LC3). There's really nothing existing that can be used (like AAC, which Apple does)?

@solarkraft avoid #LibreTranslate.com. It's a #Cloudflare site. https://translate.fedilab.app/ is a #privacy-respecting instance that uses the LibreTranslate backend, so that's worth a look.
Today was the first day on which a Pinterest search result helped me out.
if GNU are so pissed about Linux stealing the fame why don't they just make their own kernel

Treating corporations as paperclip optimizer AIs is probably a very reasonable approximation. Coka Cola is just optimizing getting sugary liquids down as many peoples throat at a profit as possible, health be damned. Facebook is just optimizing eyeball-time on (ad-ridden) front-page, democracy and psychological health be damned.
However, seeing how good and successful we are at regulating this AI I have little hope for our time with the computerized one.
