Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication

I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.

concurrent wifi hotspot and wifi connection on Linux

anyone know how to achieve this?

my wifi chip can do it under Windows, no problem whatsoever, decent speeds too.

actually even under Linux, on gnome, i've used screencasting which sends via wifi direct.

but trying to set up a wifi hotspot? Absolute nightmare, wtf.

a window manager feature i'd LOVE to see:

when you maximise/restore a window, the window dimensions actually resize between the states, through an animation transition, so that the window directly changes dimensions -- instead of the normal instantaneous dimension change with the faked scale animation

now google have moved google maps from maps.google.com only to google.com/maps, we can no longer have independent zoom levels for maps and other google domains. what the fuck is wrong with these developers.

anyone got pipewire running ok on systemd-less Linux yet? i have done a bit of searching but my brain is tired and my only sysVinit system is my server (and is also my teaching device with windows vm on it) so i'm a bit nervous of doing a buncha system surgery just for sound for pipewire-dependent apps.

basically only need it for screenrecording, everything else works fine. i am testing gpu-screen-recorder though and it's ok, doesn't need pipewire and tbh i don't need it to record sound anyway.

fucken pipewire and systemd fgs

If you only use openvibe for 2 accounts then make one of those be Threads so that you don't need yet another godforsaken meta app on your phone

Also odysee was set to import my youtube videos but it never stayed up to date with new videos so I ignored it and uploaded them myself.

Now apparently it's started auto-importing them, retroactively too, so I have dupes everywhere

The modern internet is fucking shite i am SO TIRED

Pro tip for saving storage space:
Use Photoshop in 8-bit colour mode — you almost definitely don't need 16-bit.
