@Gina Thanks for sharing the post - made me realize that I still have a #dropbox account. Not for much longer, though 😑

@Unixbigot I have a 220V soldering iron with a very concerning hole melted into the _PVC_ insulation. Can relate. 😑

P.S. Even though I now found a workaround (thanks @jdblair !), I'd still like to know how you can get Google Play to just leave sideloaded apps well alone?

@jdblair OK, thanks again, this finally did the trick! I still had to jump through an amazing number of hoops because Google immediately decided my new account had "unusual activity" and suspended it but I appealed with some sarcastic comments and that actually did work in the end 🙄

@kestral I really don't get the point of why this distro exists in the first place 😳 someone has suspected money laundering...?

@spaf Well you do have a lair, minions, and a budget. Those bloody djinns just never listen properly 🤷

@0xabad1dea That would actually be somewhat innovative, so no. 🤷😑

@gsuberland what the actual what now 😳

@Unixbigot battery chemists enviously side-eying propellant chemists 😳🫣

@Floppy Sign me up 👋

@muellertadzio Immer noch die Mehrheit. Ich weiß wirklich nicht, was spezifisch in Sachsen-Anhalt das Problem ist, aber zumindest bundesweit sind die Faschos eindeutig eine Minderheit.

@Em0nM4stodon Dark brown! It was a C16, a budget version of the C64 - same breadbox case, but different colour.

@UKFilmNerd Spoof for sure 😁 There's also "The Shoe of Manitou" from the same crew which is a (you guessed it) Western spoof and AFAIK has an English audio track.

@rotopenguin @joe *sips whiskey* "Cylinders? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time..."

@jwcph German here 👋😳 What stumps me most is that a lot of legal safeguards against resurgent Nazis were put into the constitution AND NOBODY WANTS TO USE THEM??!?
My main hope is that this will run the same course as most other formerly communist countries in eastern Europe, which all mostly had a right-wing period before coming to their senses. But of course, Germany should have known better. 😑

@weirdunits probably one, unless you have a _very_ long password 🤷

So I've been having a look at Olmo and Apertus, which AFAICT are LLMs trained on actually open data, and of course I would also like to run them locally. However...

Meh. Might need to sell a kidney or two 🥴

@tesmaia @tante Performance = "make number(*) go brrrrr"
(*) whatever metric the boss is optimising this week 🤷

@LewisWorkshop oh so that's why it's called a _dummy_ load 🥴

There's a little hitch in the new submission rules for #chi2027 : if you submit a paper co-authored with former students and you can't reach them to link their ORCID/DBLP to their PCS profile, what to do? 🤔
(I know I still have a week to get them to do it, but it's not the first time students have dropped off the grid after graduating, I can't be the only one with that issue?)
