I'm honestly so happy I sat down and made this car2dot library. It's made it so much easier to debug stuff.

The world is bad on purpose, friends

It isn't some principle of nature that makes the world bad

The cruelty is intentional

Which means we can fucking stop them

So at this week's electronics fair, I found a weird VR headset prototype. No names on it, and it says "prototype/not for resale". I took it apart to figure out who made it, and completely failed. It's weeeird:

Apparently the Max has a button that turns on "3d mode" by presenting the two eyes as separate (or was it extended?) displays.

I'm planning to use this for shenanigans by having different windows presented in each eye. E.g. on my left I can have my chats and references, and on my right I can have my terminals / editors.

It's likely it won't just work out of the box, but it'd be fun if it did. :P

Matrix server is still busted. At least it means I'm free from responding to notifications today. It's like a snow day for my brain. 🥰

Hopefully I don't lose all my data and don't need to set up all my bridges and channels again.

I'm digging how hackable the authors made Rhasspy. It's pythonic and the protocols are as human readable as possible. Python makes it pretty easy to find patterns in text and Rhasspy hides ~all of the complexities of voice. I can just write a script that accepts a string of words that were recognized, do whatever (call out to remote services, append the text to a file, ..), and then return text if I want the service to convert it to speech.

"Suspend seems to be breaking the lockscreen, requiring a reboot." and "Customizations might not last through reboots." seem like nonstarters for me 😅

Dear North Americans,

Please stop using seasons when referring to release dates etc.
