Ten years ago movie studios were like "no women superhero movies can work because we tried them with tiny budgets and bad stories and no one wanted to pay to see them"
That's been the DNC with their candidates.

I did not close all my tabs but does anyone know how to get Linux to stop waking up when the lid is closed on my Macbook? It should be straightforward, if no external monitor is connected, don't wake up until I open the lid, but I haven't found a way to make that work.

I have a lot of writer friends, good writers who I admire. But, I'm always horrified to learn what they use to write. lol
Ultimately, writing is the most important part of writing. Like with any craft, it's easy to get caught up in the tools.
But when a friend tells me he writes essays *in* the Wordpress editor, or in an email draft, I want to scream IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS LEARN MARKDOWN AND GET A PROPER WORD PROCESSOR πππ

What? This is apparently from the Paul Ford NYTimes article I havenβt read (paywalled, also not a fan) but is this really the going price for a personal website these days?

Yes. I agree that self-deprecation is not always the way to go with one's work. You know what? I'm really good at what I do and I have the track record that backs that up. What I do isn't for everyone, and that's totally cool, but that's also a separate thing. Now, I note that as a cis straight white dude, I will get less shit for acknowledging I'm good at what I do and my work is pretty good than some other folks will. Which is bullshit, by the way. We all deserve to celebrate our skills.

TL;DR this is the initial outline of an Internet Draft (I-D) for stem files using an open and non-patent-encumbered format. Currently it probably does not match the code in the same repo for generating them (https://codeberg.org/SamWhited/oggstem/) as I'm still experimenting with the layout of the files. This I-D has not been submitted to the IETF (at some point I'll move it to their data tracker). Feedback welcome.
