Your friendly neighborhood 🦡 European badger furry. He/him.

Professional computer-toucher, being paid to make software do things it does not yet do.

Probably knows more about Linux than is sane. Runs Debian as the daily driver and is happy with that.

Cares about people who care about people.

Digital autonomy, privacy, freedom, consent and respect! Trans rights are human rights, all people are people, love is love. I do not care what labels you were assigned at birth, but I do care that you are not a disrespectful asshole now.

I represent only myself.

No generative AI. DRM is an abomination.

Follow requests are very welcome and are subject to vibe check before approval. Empty profile follow requests will be rejected. Boosts-only profiles count as empty.

@roguecnidarian@meemu.org I think the answer to "where do I click and drag?" is either "you keep trying until you get it right" *or* "why would you do that with a window that's already full-screen?". (Look at the average computer user. They might have a huge, high-resolution screen, and they tend to have only one window open, maximised. So naturally, by the laws of the almighty data, no one needs to be able to drag windows around.)

Make the icons smaller, maybe trade off the decimal? You can certainly make the text larger if you put the °C just at the end of the line, instead of next to each temperature, unless you plan to show just one of the room temperatures in Kelvin or something like that. :-) I would think about what information you *want* to be able to read at a glance, and focus on that at the expense of other stuff. @Purple@woof.tech @uvok@woof.tech

@uvok@woof.tech *facepaw* Oops! You're absolutely right. (And no, no LLM involved here!) Have a fixed version; this should work better. while(1) { for(; universe->temperature > 0f; uvok->pet()); universe->temperature_recalibrate(); } Just please don't ask me how I ended up with the first one because I honestly don't know how I made such a silly mistake. (Now I wonder whether that first one would even compile. 🤔)

To "add" talking animals, does that not imply that talking animals aren't already a part of one's life? I know quite a few creatures who would vehemently and in no uncertain terms, er, words, object to that particular notion… 🙃 @Edmonds_Scanner@universeodon.com

@uvok@woof.tech That would make me try some other uplink network. Either switch from WiFi to cellular data or the other way around, or use a different WiFi network (best if you can find one that also itself uses a different uplink ISP). See if that can rule out that particular ISP pulling shenanigans on traffic. And yes this is one of those times when a VPN (even home-grown) can genuinely be useful.

Yes! And the self-confidence that brews. "The thing didn't work and I took it apart and I fixed it and I put it back together and now it works!!" In my experience like 95% of fixing stuff is the realisation that almost no matter what happens, if it's already broken, you can hardly make things worse! (Exceptions do, of course, exist. But let's not go there just yet.) @rawenwolf@meow.social @harrybo@gamerstavern.online

Hello Fedi! Call me Meles. I'm your friendly neighbourhood European badger furry, professional computer-toucher, self-taught software developer, Debian Linux user. Pronouns he/him. I'm more proficient with a keyboard or camera than with a pencil and drawing pad, though I am trying to get better at the latter. Love listening to music (I'll try almost everything except hard rock and electronic at least once, though there are exceptions in both directions), reading (especially about people punching up and/or imperfect people trying their best in their imperfect world), and have been known to try my paws at writing. Among else, I care about such outmoded things as autonomy in the digital realm, including control over computers, software and data; privacy; freedom; consent; and respect for others. I don't care about assigned at birth labels, but I do care that people aren't disrespectful assholes. (We can't do much about conditions at our conception and birth, but we can do a lot about what we are like now.) And while I recognise the value of a legal distinction, and certainly don't claim perfection, I try to treat both domestic and wild non-human animals as people, as creatures who simply try to live their lives and who deserve respect for their own sake. #introduction #furry #EuropeanBadger #badger
