Yay mumble!

And I agree: it’s better. I think it’s faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it’s intuitive … like a hammer.

I looked at matrix but the server setup was janky – enamoured of the current mayfly shine tools, and when I saw mumble install cleanly on my tiny arm box it was a sea change. No longer have the tiny arm box but I still run mumble.

I’d be super happy if it and its polite codecs were brought into the fed but I haven’t been paying attention.

I’d look over the server install if the process had docs.

In Canada it’s a half-day off, the polling places are many and varies, the waits are short and/because everything is hand-counted.

America uses a big-bang polling stations with machinery and demonstrations and gun nuts and intimidation of minorities and disenfranchisement , etc. It’s a whole thing.

Not getting time off is part of the cruelty toward the working class.

Not having to confirm your identity seems like it’s a jank but it’s part to services the elites don’t want to give the plebes, just hidden.

Lines are long, you May Not be generous with free water, in some places, counts take weeks on these fast computers and the legal challenges take months where ours is over in a night.

Safe to say it’s gonna be super-different from a UK election.

similarly under[-]developed nations for rail service.

Canada would like to say Soory, partially because we’ve legislated it as meaningless and also because it’s the least-expensive response to this allegation.

Years ago I got a disc called Sounds of Slashdot. It was at a con, I think.

Anyway it’s got some “gamemaster” “lost tribe” thing among some musical tracks on the CD. I have No Idea what it is, but I put it on and the sounds fucks with distractions and I can enter the Flow more easily for work. It’s a great trigger.

I need to find more of that.

Ai Weiwei Speaks Out After His Sculpture Is Destroyed by Notorious Vandal (news.artnet.com)

Android is Linux, but it is not GNU / Linux

TIL of the Great Auk, a northern hemisphere species similar to penguins that was hunt to extinction. Penguins are named after them. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

The great auk (Pinguinus impennis), also known as the Penguin or gare-fowl, is a species of flightless alcid that became extinct in the mid-19th century. It was the only modern species in the genus Pinguinus. It is unrelated to the Penguins of the southern hemisphere, which were named so after their resemblance to the northern...

A buddy did that. He did bifurcated, polyphasic, martian 25/10, and the naps. He felt lonely and sad, and wasn’t sure it wasn’t just the lack of human contact.

Ultimately, not worth it when one has to interact with humans.

Yes, but not for what you may think. Ritualized shouting and flailing is cathartic and great cardio. And when you’re doing it in a regular group, you don’t look as dorky (see: Line Dancing) and peer pressure will influence you to stick with it – and that’s the biggest failure mode of any workout plan.

Also, stretching is neat. Sometimes there’s meditation. Always there’s making noise and angry faces.

Somewhere, in there, you may learn two things: how to dodge something coming at you; and that you should always try to flee if you can, flee if you almost can, or negatively reinforce the person hurting you until they stop and then you can flee. The cardio helps with the fleeing.

And I can’t under-state the utility in fleeing. I’ve done the hi-ya, twirled a stick, played shooty-pow-pow and rat-a-tat; and, still, fleeing is the option with the best outcome.

tai chi in the park, while many 80 years old can’t walk without a cane.

As an aside, get someone to show you what they’re really doing when they’re doing Tai Chi. The muscle memory they learn is - when sped up - brutal and painful to others. It’s great how they hide it in a dancy movement class for blue-haired park-goers.

I’ve also met Fumio Demura at a seminar, and he comes across as just an old guy who wants to go fishing when he’s not teaching us to be damaging – so while they may look old and slow, there’s more going on.

There’s no future where this affects me in the slightest. Okay, so jeff Goldblum can get a few more shekels for renting his voice. This doesn’t affect me: that’s his JOB, whether they stole his likeness and paid him, paid him and cloned his voice, or paid him to do the speaking. It’s the same thing, imho.

Talk to me when people who don’t have their voice recorded get an unfair leg-up for selling it. I’ll be okay with it then, too, but let me know.

‘People should be making their contingency plans, like, right away’: America’s leading forecaster on the chances of a Trump win (www.theguardian.com)

Just how useful is a forecast in a knife-edge election like this one, anyway?

Despite US dominance in so many different areas of technology, we’re sadly somewhat of a backwater when it comes to car headlamps.

Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?

I had two Samsung flagship phones, one (S20FE) had an optical fingerprint reader and the other (S22) had an ultrasonic one.

They won’t work with cheap 3rd party screen...

Its[sic] wasnt a “Purchase” at all. It was a thief paying another thief.

… for stuff stolen from another thief who took it brutally - tool marks on the bones - from someone who happened to wander in and notice no one stopped him - previous owners had died out - and settled in. US would be the fifth known entity to lay claim to that land.

You put on that mantle to cry foul, you gotta wear the stains on it too. Also, maybe don’t be the vegan at the party on that.
