My current tech passion is #nix, a magic operating system swiss-army knife. Among other things it makes development environments with a declarative syntax, cross-platform, and NOT using containers.
I just proposed a talk on Nix development environments for next year's #drupalcon !
Just got our ballots for the November #election. This time around it's super easy, only 3 races I even need to review...
LOL listening to Stacy Abrams on Jon Stewart's podcast on "How Secure is Your Vote?" - https://pca.st/sia2ppgn .
"Across this country, elections could be better everywhere ... maybe (not) Washington State - they're like showoffs."
My aunt is an election worker in Washington State😂
Does anyone have #Matomo page overlays working, on a #Drupal site?
I have the site showing in the window after allowing in a content security policy, but endless "Loading..." and no overlay data...
The rising costs of site ownership https://www.freelock.com/blog/john-locke/2024-08/rising-costs-site-ownership
@iangriffin It's a lot more interesting hearing the backstory -- at first I thought it was something #ai generated!
So we just found Google Translate adding style=";text-align:right;direction:rtl" to all HTML headers and paragraph tags when translating text to Arabic.
Was messing up text that is supposed to be centered on the page. Seems like a bug to me -- semicolons getting switched, and very presumptuous of them to assume we need alignment help...
Brilliant analysis of LLMs (like ChatGPT) as psychic con artists, by @baldur :
"Taken together, these flaws make LLMs look less like an information technology and more like a modern mechanisation of the psychic hotline."
Ok, maybe it's time to ditch #Zoom ? It's been working fine for me on NixOS/KDE/Plasma with Wayland for months now -- until today.
Today it has a nice shiny new interface, and refuses to let me share my screen -- it pops up a window listing a dozen Linux distros (not including NixOS) and says I'm not using a supported OS.
@ericmann Hmm maybe just lightning striking twice? Wonder if there was some sort of collision?
I just checked my Good2Go password, which I've had for several years, it's not showing in Bitwarden's check for breached passwords
Listening to https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/do-less/ while building out a site... So much of what we do with #Drupal development is taking stuff out, making things simpler.
