Same in many other places. Around 2015, I remember recharging with a prepaid package that gave me 100 messages/day. (I think it was like ₹10/day). I used to save from my lunch money so that I could text my then gf. Man, I was so happy when she finally got a smartphone.

Hope that isn’t coming from personal experience, brother/sister/anything you prefer.

In Bangla, we call the color peyaji, which is basically “onion-y”. It’s also what we call onion fritters, and they’re absolutely delicious.

Edit: Just remembered that we also use it as a slang for fucking around. Not sure where that came from lol.

The idea is that someone is checking the code. And by building it yourself, you can at least ensure that you’re getting what’s built from the code. It is possible that some malicious stuff was inserted while building the binary that doesn’t show up in the source code. Building from source solves that problem.

Reproducible builds try to solve that problem by generating some provenance from a third party. A middle ground can be building the binary using something like GitHub Actions, since that can be audited by others. That comes with its own can of worms since GH is owned by M$, but I digress.

So it is technically sane to do it, just not very practical in my view. But for lesser known apps, I do sometimes build from source.

I mean, that’s not a Rust issue per se. It’s only noticeable because cargo is much better than most build systems, and hence is an actual option for distribution of software. But there should ideally always be a binary distribution. I know some people like to build everything by themselves, but I get it, it’s annoying.

Yep. Grew up in a village. We had flushing toilets that flushed into a septic tank.

It applies to the whole US admin.

I experienced it when I got to know that Richard Dawkins is a TERF.

What did Margorie Taylor Greene do again?

Perfect username lol.

Yeah, like I can tell you about our communist history, or our surrealist poetry. But then you’ll call me an extremist, or even worse, a nerd.

So I keep those for when I get drunk and overshare, and just talk about fish recipes and desserts.

I’d developed a level of candor with my AI assistant that I don’t have with most people in my life.

What a sad way to live.

That’s the main reason I switched to Navidrome and downloaded a ton of flacs. No one’s stopping me from drinking whiskey in the bathtub listening to sad music during my monthly breakdown.

Thanks lol. I do intend to finish by this weekend. But then I planned it last weekend too. Let’s see how it goes lol.

Edit: I didn’t finish it in the weekend. But, did manage to get a complete draft done by today. So, not that bad I guess.

I managed to finish writing a poem after more than 6 months. I hope I can finish my academic paper soon as well. Man, life is fucking hard.

I just did that. Hopefully they’ll replace it.

Edit: They were out of stock, but I did get a refund.

No separate power supply. But it does work just fine with standard 2.5 inch drives.

Tempus: An open source and lightweight music client for subsonic.

It’s a fork of Tempo.

We thought we’ll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

Yeah, that’s a critical difference between social democracy and true socialism. Socialists are against exploitation anywhere in the world.
