Our little one just made a joke which I found hilarious: Ten little monkeys were jumping on the bed; one made a backflip and that was very cool!

I think Lakland has perfected the MusicMan Stingray design with their 55-94 (and 55-02) design. Just like how Sadowsky has perfected the Fender Jazz Bass with their Vintage JJ.

TIL there's no unsigned 64-bit -> floating-point 64-bit conversion in x86_64, so you have to build it up from other instructions. Here's the codegen by gcc-15.2 with -O3, it uses different code paths based on the highest bit of the input:

What the hell. Just upgraded my #FreeBSD KDE 6.5 to 6.6 and suddenly crazy UI stuttering.

Okay, my fine ladies and gentlemen, here's a new Christmas season beverage for you. I call it "TWO EARLS, ONE CUP". Ingredients: - one cup of hot Earl Grey tea, - one shot of Spanish Earl single malt whiskey. Serve hot in a mug.

Do all trans people automatically get a +10 point boost to their electronic music production skills, modular synthesizer insights and trackers navigation stamina?!

What if He-Man and She-Ra are actually their pronouns: he/man and she/ra?

imagine this is how we find out UFOs are real

Lauren Ashley Davis@laurenmeidasa.bsky.social · 6mo ago

A high-ranking retired US Air Force major general who once commanded a base long associated with UFO lore has been missing for nearly two weeks, and authorities are appealing to the public for help locating him. www.cnn.com/2026/03/11/u...

Similar to humans, they spontaneously chose a spiky shape when hearing a kiki sound & a round shape when hearing a bouba.”😲🧪

Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks

Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords “kiki” and “bouba” with spiky and round shapes, respectively, a phenomenon named the bouba-kiki effect. To explore the origin of t...

The World Factbook, also known as the CIA World Factbook, was a reference resource produced by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with almanac-style information about the countries of the world. CC @gone-things.bsky.social

They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

I like the idea of calling American music a-pop, a-rock, etc, and American shows a-drama.

Slightly off topic about diff utilities. Apparently `diff3` is the one of two remaining GNU tools used in the FreeBSD codebase. The other one is `dialog`.

Тsфdiиg@tsoding.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Is there a portable (POSIX/Win32) diff utility that is literally just a single diff.c file which I can copy-paste to my project? Similar to xxd.c?

Let's create a narcissistic CEO bingo card for when the AI bubble will have been collapsing: 1. Attributes the failure on the society being mean to him 2. Blames partners 3. Denies the reality: bubble burst doesn't exist.

lmao listen to Trump's Polish interpreter at Davos (Magda Fitas-Czuchnowska apparently) mimicking his voice

So I was right! E minor (Dorian scale). The only difference is that Kaval Sviri additionally utilises the minor second.

Dimitri@eugensson.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Any folk musicians here. Do I understand correctly that the Bulgarian folk song Kaval Sviri, and the famous chant from the Halo game are in the same key? I have some wild goosebumps imagining a choir mixing those two.

Most of the time the Americans are wrong with their negative opinions, cause they can't be fucked to learn anything about any other country. You need to hate my land *correctly*

Ultimate betrayal. #mozilla #firefox

Am I tripping or has YouTube started using some new AI compression (voicecloning+STT+TTS) recently? Many YouTubers started to sound like AI (some compression-like artifacts).

False dichotomy

I just hope that those who believe that LLMs have "stolen" their open source software took the opportunity to file an amicus brief in support of Oracle in Google v. Oracle

The Weight of Words For HKers, language is our identity. We speak Cantonese. We write in traditional Chinese. And during the pro-democracy protests when it seemed like no one would hear us, we just made up some new words that speak our truth. Source: Telegram/ Ah-To (Dec 2019)

Very inspiring speech on the technical sovereignty in the post-american world. It starts on a provoking tone, but at around a 30min mark it gets into the weeds. youtu.be/3C1Gnxhfok0?...
