@maj right into a puddle, 10/10, no notes 👌

For obvious reasons, I'm no longer buying e-books from Amazon. I found a bunch of nice DRM-free PDFs on Thalia, but now I'm considering a book that does have DRM (publisher's requirement, I guess).
Anyone has experience with de-DRMing Thalia books? (I think it's Adobe DRM, but not entirely sure.)

@organicmaps this sounds like a great opportunity to migrate to a non-US service 🤔

@andresmh @jbigham @bwaber wasn't it OpenAI who recently redefined AGI as "anything that makes us 100 billion dollars"? 😑

@inthehands 5 bucks into the bad pun jar, stat!

Lots of yak shaving going on today.

This is brilliant. All hail the King's English.

@molly0xfff it's grifters all the way down. 🤷

@datarama @molly0xfff my friggin' Raspberry Pi can handle a database with 60,000 rows. 😑 (Unless you do some nonsense triple join or so.)

@petejohanson Ooh, thanks, didn't know about that one yet. A bit pricey, but very promising... 👍 (it does indeed tick all the boxes 👌)

@GyrosGeier *sigh* the queue of Yaks waiting to be shaved grows... 🙄😉

I'm currently looking for a new keyboard that should have the following features:
  * Bluetooth with support for multiple devices (at least 2)
  * Built-in touchpad
  * Reasonable key layout, not some "mobile" nonsense
  * [optional but desirable] open firmware
I have 3+ different keyboards in my office already, but none of them checks all the boxes (either Bluetooth is super-glitchy, or the layout is braindead, or it doesn't have a touchpad, or...)
Suggestions _very_ welcome!

@andresmh @julian @barik Not mentioning people, true, but still flooding some very broad hashtags with content-free slop...

@azonenberg well thanks, now I got that melody stuck in my head for the rest of the day 😑

@luna I rest my case: C is Assembler with braces, C++ is Assembler with classes. 🤷

@julian @andresmh @barik meh, how wasteful 😑

Suddenly seeing a lot of spambots from social.freysa.ai - anyone else know if this is a pure spam server? /cc @andresmh @barik

@munin Snow Crash was _not_ an instruction manual. 😑

@mikemccaffrey That may well be true... perhaps it's just that everyone is now busy with ass-covering instead of actual work? 🤔
