Neat if I press right here I can change the tone of the ringing in my ear.

I probably shouldn’t do that.

@maddiefuzz It’s a higher pitch for sure but I think it goes past 2600 too quick.

That would be cool.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 10:08

@maddiefuzz @capnseasick same but this’ll be like being able to change the channel!

Tapping out of my Capacities Believer subscription.

Not particularly interested in OpenAI integration, even if it is opt-in. Sort of reminds me that my data is remotely hosted and thus vulnerable to security issues and business decisions. I know it’s popular functionality and I hope it works well for you though!

Nice as the app is, I wasn’t using Capacities much because their setup is not encrypted-at-rest and my notes tend to be unfiltered.

@kusuriya SiYuan can sync via S3, which hypothetically one can run on their own (I just use AWS for the moment), and once configured sync between desktop and mobile (even iOS) is pretty tight.

“I’m saved! @IamMrsGeek will save me from the dogs! Look, dogs, there is my rescuer!”

She was not in fact my rescuer. She was taking the pic for the new hardcore album by Jumpy Dog and Bouncy Dog

Beardy dude in glasses points at the camera while two chihuahua mix dogs pause from play-wrestling him to the couch. All three look at the camera

@brohrer it does help a bit. Interesting!

@socketwench @tek getting ideas for my next job interview

You’ve been telling me a genius since you were 17. In all the years I’ve known you I still don’t know what you mean.

How I’ve felt about a chunk of my tech bro peers since forever really.

@babadookspinoza interesting fursona choice but it is not my place to judge their decision

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 16:38

Genius suggestion from @IamMrsGeek to put an earplug into the rogue ear cuts down on phantom reverb — can’t hear out that ear but I still feel impressions of sound — and makes it easier to hear.

from the other ear obvs

Thinking about setting Konqueror as my default browser just to fuck with site logs.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 17:57

@onelson even better

but why not just Lynx/2.8.5rel.1

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 17:59

@JessTheUnstill No I want to avoid accidental false positives.

They want to force a feature on their site, let’em work for it.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 18:00

@JessTheUnstill oh i wonder if i could automate random user agent selection

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 18:08

Course the real reason is because I’m thinking about the hazards of Google-driven browsers, and Firefox — well, you know. There’s good and bad there.

Just looking at the ever-thinning crowd of rendering engines.

@rgegriff Sorry I don’t really have the attention span for a movie. And I’m only 47 hours into this dude’s “1000 days in minecraft” stream archive

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 18:14

@onelson so that’s not Jared Leto and Amber Tamblyn.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 18:16

@onelson oh well.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:18

@VE2UWY we don’t hate Firefox. We’re just frequently disappointed.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:19

@Rob_T_Firefly @thegibson Pete Best because it’s right there in the name. Any other choice would be ambiguous.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:25

@thegibson what’s your favorite flavor of paint?

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:26

@thegibson a good hue. I’m kinda fussy when it comes to paint. Grumbacher Cadmium Blue. Oils if you got’em, but acrylic in a pinch.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:27

@thegibson (and the story there is I ate my mom’s cadmium blue oil paint when I was an infant, and when she was an infant she ate her mother’s cadmium blue acrylic paint)

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:28

@thegibson well we aren’t colorfully full of shit by accident in this house.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:36

@Rob_T_Firefly @thegibson they’re RAD-ically Delicious!

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:48

@onelson @TheGoshZilla honestly I liked it when it came out. But after a couple few viewings, I realized I liked the actors but not the movie itself.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:51

@onelson @TheGoshZilla The Day of the Dead remake was a shambling mess of a movie, bereft of meaning, reason, or message, and resembling the original only enough that you could see where there used to be a soul.

Edit: oh hang on I was thinking of the Dawn of The Dead remake. Never mind.

hackers.town: 2023-07-21 Fri 20:52

@onelson @TheGoshZilla anyways I’ll probably be watching Juan of the Dead later so don’t mind me.
