also, i had this great / horrible realization that on a long enough time scale, gentoo is probably the best option for continuing to run linux on hardware that is old enough for normal linux distros to tell you to throw it in the garbage
alright, round one of upgrading old LTS ubuntu studio to slightly less old LTS ubuntu studio complete, and the computer is still operable! now for round two đ

@aeva I assure you, the piano was not new in 2000. I am personally aware of piano compositions as early as 1997

alright, I've successfully managed to bring the Compiano Forte up to the latest Ubuntu Studio 24 Point Whatever and sound still works even, and I am completely stuffed with ｢thanksgiving｣ just positively filled to the brim
I got clang 20 installed on this machine, which is important to building mollytime, but, uh huuuuuh, Ubuntu Studio 24 Point Whatever doesn't seem to have SDL3 available

semi-related, I've decided that my collection of mostly functioning old computers that I've been holding on to just in case is now to be hereby known as my "Beowulf Clutter"

@JamesWidman when I punch in clang++-20 it just uses clang++ which gets it 18

ok I got it using the good clang, but it's not using the good clang's standard library somehow, I think it's using GCC's?

@lauramassera Hai assolutamente ragione, ma diciamo anche che nel 2025 è impossibile non riconoscere che la malvagità antisociale è il tratto distintivo di quelle Big Tech che spesso si presentavano eticamente candide.
L'unica eccezione è probabilmente quella di Apple che effettivamente ha deciso, sia anche solo per questioni di marketing e narrativa aziendale, di opporsi alle nuove tendenze del cattivismo trumpiano

@mattwiebe.blog what a journey!
Iâm really impressed by your plans... I donât think Iâd ever have enough courage to pull something like that off. I hope Iâll get the chance to try your pizza someday!
Would be a great reason to visit Mexico đ
...and thanks for all your work on the ActivityPub plugin, I really miss your contributions â¤ď¸

@OpenSoul era quello che mi stavo chiedendo anch'io. Il guaio è che è difficile fare una discussione seria, perchÊ la maggior parte dei commenti che si leggono sono a tesi...

@stefano I think, it had been like this for a while. Sites for lots of more or less big projects, especially if they have paid version of a product, are marketing and buzzwords. That why I usually go straight to Documentation->How to get started for some simple overview and examples.
Looks like they just added those AI buttons without changing a site much.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

La battaglia per la libertĂ cognitiva nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale aziendale
La libertà di pensiero non è solo uno scudo contro le intrusioni, è il terreno su cui costruiamo tutto il resto: il diritto di esprimersi, dissentire, credere, imparare, amare. Richiede sia libertà negative (da manipolazione, sorveglianza, coercizione) sia positive (di immaginare alternative, di cercare la verità , di plasmare le nostre opinioni e preferenze).

@Elizafox when I first saw the original post, I snickered*, but thought it wasn't worth boosting. Then I saw it a second time because of Mastodon timeline reset shenaningans, I snickered again, but this time I boosted it, because I felt that something that could make me snicker two times in a row was definitely worth boosting.
(* not sure if this is the right word?)
