cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions


here is a link to the @DropSiteNews tweet which this post is a cropped screenshot of

Bespoke is a synthesizer first but “like a DAW in some ways, but with less of a focus on a global timeline. Instead, it has a design more optimized for jamming and exploration.” (youtube trailer, wiki, wikipedia)
“But you can’t copy with Ctrl+C, it’s…” - You can. When something is selected It copies selection to clipboard, otherwise it sends SIGINT.
What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected? In every one I’ve ever used, ctrl-c still sends SIGINT even with text selected (and one must must use ctrl-shift-C/ctrl-shift-V to copy/paste).
I don’t have any suggestion for getting the behavior you’re asking for, but besides the normal ctrl-(shift)-C/V clipboard FYI you also have two other types of clipboard-like things: one which works anywhere (not only in the terminal) and is actually always automatically copying anything you select and lets you paste from it with middle click (this originated with X Windows but i think most Wayland compositors have also implemented it by now), and another which is found in GNU Readline (used by bash and numerous other REPLs) called the “kill buffer” which can be pasted (or “yanked”) from and cut (or “killed”) to using Emacs keyboard shortcuts (which also include various cursor movement controls).
Notes:
.inputrc file, but you cannot achieve what you were originally asking for because there is no concept of text selection in readline.HTH!


Laura Loomer was shockingly on point in stating that Machado’s “actions are actively stoking and promoting violent regime change in Venezuela.”



I suppose it runs on an Arm-Processor
It would be odd if a device labeled “Wintel Pro” had an arm CPU.
Wintel means Windows on Intel, or more broadly Windows on any x86 or x86_64 processor.


the info line contains the answer:
Info: applications using this runtime: io.github.Hexchat
You need to remove Hexchat if you want to remove the end-of-life runtimes it requires.
I regret to inform you that the maintainer wrote in February 2024: This will be the last release I make of HexChat. The project has largely been unmaintained for years now and nobody else stepped up to do that work.
My computer uses both system and user remotes.
Because my .var directory is almost full, […]
If you’re low on disk space you probably want to have everything installed as either user or system, to avoid having some runtimes installed in both.


Python does have a year option that they are not using.
No, it doesn’t:
Help on class timedelta in module datetime:
class timedelta(builtins.object)
| Difference between two datetime values.
|
| timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)
|
| All arguments are optional and default to 0.
| Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.


in the computing context, “lock-in” is shorthand for vendor lock-in.


How exactly do they hope to lock devs in github??? That’s absurd, there’s no way they can achieve that. I can always take my projects elsewhere and there’s nothing they can do to stop me.
I can’t tell if you’re joking? If not, what do you think “lock-in” actually means?
It doesn’t mean that it is impossible to leave, it means that there is substantial switching cost. And, that is certainly the case for github-hosted projects: all active contributors need to make a new account somewhere else, issues and discussions need to be migrated, CI workflows typically need to be rewritten, and good luck finding something that gives as much free compute for CI as github does. Yes, it’s easy to mirror a git repo onto another service, but github is much much more than just git repo hosting and each of their features have their own switching cost.
Also, OP actually said “lock devs in” rather than “lock projects in” - I actually am forced to have a github account if i want to contribute to projects which refuse to move their issues off of it 😢 … and the difficulty in creating new accounts anonymously these days prevents me from contributing to several things (lemmy, for instance) which i otherwise would.


I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.
This bullshit is not from the well-known Chinese radio maker Baofeng (baofengradio.com) but rather from a US company called “BTech” which has the deceptive URL BaoFengTech.com.
OC? 🥂 to whoever made this in any case :)

to people reporting this post as “misinformation”: here it is corroborated by a Ukrainian news agency.


It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Distrowatch is dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Distrowatch community […]


“spoke out against” is an understatement:
…besides contributing to the eventual shut down of napster, Metallica first compelled it to ban hundreds of thousands of their fans - who’s usernames they delivered to them. Lars Ulrich responded to the backlash by saying “If you’d stop being a Metallica fan because I won’t give you my music for free, then fuck you. I don’t want you to be a Metallica fan.”
i haven’t used it myself but https://jmp.chat/ looks good if you’re OK with a US or Canadian number.
there is a lemmy community about it here: !sopranica@lemmy.ml.
