Dear Steam,
I went into my preferences and manually disabled "infinite scroll." The reason is that I do not like infinite scroll. It does not mean I want you to automatically re-enable it every month or so.

My cat was showing interest in my dried pineapple. I asked my vet, who said that it's okay for cats to eat a little bit of fresh pineapple, but not dried pineapple! Why? Because drying it out increases the sugar concentration (even for dried fruit without added sugar, which is what I eat), and cats can't handle high sugar concentration.

I don't do this publicly very often, but I want to suggest that everyone with mod powers defederate from spinster.club, which appears to be a multi-user instance solely dedicated to transphobia. The name and content are similar to the older instance spinster.xyz, which is widely defederated and found in @nprofile1q... 's fedinuke list, but I don't know if spinster.club has the same owners.
Actually, this post seems to at least suggest they are affiliated.

I can't figure out how to make archive links of any page on their instance (it's pleroma), so here are some direct links. All of these posts and accounts had already federated to my instance: I found them by searching spinster.club in Sharkey search.

Has anyone collected statistics of the relative popularity of programming languages on Codeberg and how that differs from Github? Are there certain languages more popular among non-commerical FOSS projects than in corporate stuff?

Apparently the JavaScript version of Simon Tatham's Puzzles works in Servo. Servo is now a gaming browser.

Okay, I have internet trouble. On both my desktop and my laptop, I can connect, to my home wi-fi, but not to any other wi-fi point, including tethering to my phone.

I suspect this has been an issue since I switched to @nprofile1q... but I haven't confirmed it until today.

I have NetworkManager installed and launching automatically on boot. In Plasma's tray, I can see the wi-fi icon. I can see many wi-fi networks available to connect to. I can connect to them. But if I connect to any wi-fi network except my home router, I am told I am connected and that the data rate is 0 bytes/s download and 0 bytes/s upload.

Restarting NetworkManager makes no difference, nor does rebooting.


sudo sv status NetworkManager
run: NetworkManager: (pid 817) 21678s; run: log: (pid 815) 21678s

sudo ls /var/service
NetworkManager agetty-tty2 agetty-tty4 agetty-tty6 dbus sddm
agetty-tty1 agetty-tty3 agetty-tty5 cgroups dhcpcd udevd

Yep! It reminds me of captchas all over again. Does fuck all to stop bots but people will use it anyway. I maintain the best thing is to do what this blogger did, no blockers at all https://starbreaker.org/colophon.html nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq8jyx3aq365tj44uk4l7la8fmm...
