:boost_requested:​ #Strudel I can't play most of the samples available and in the console I get the error [getTrigger] error: Unable to decode audio data.

What is happening here? How can I get audio data decoding?

If it helps, I'm using Vivaldi browser with Arch Linux (btw).

EDIT: I found out it works on pure Chromium so it seems to be a #Vivaldi issue

Bug report submitted to Vivaldi

The Pyramids of Egypt were not constructed with slave labor. Archaeological evidence shows that the laborers were a combination of skilled workers and poor farmers working in the off-season with the participants paid in high-quality food and tax exemptions. The idea that slaves were used originated with Herodotus, and the idea that they were Israelites arose centuries after the pyramids were constructed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fcommon%5Fmisconceptions%5Fabout%5Fhistory#Ancient%5Fhistory

I think it does help mood/general body fitness.

Do I have to do it regularly to get the supposed energy benefits? Because I am so bad at doing anything regularly :neocat_sob:​

frankly i have doubts other people want a language whose explicit purpose is to let me get up to all the naughty things i do in c. i suspect people are more looking for a replacement for higher level languages.

it's no secret i've been a bit taken aback by the sudden surge of interest in one of my projects. that doesn't happen often, especially not at the "haven't even written it" stage.

i know what i want out of littlegem. what exactly do other people want out of it? very little is finalised here.

right, let's go hack on the littlegem prototype as displacement activity

Okay, I dump on bsky a fair bit... I mean no edit feature (still), it tends to really mangle images when recompressing them, it has an obnoxiously low character limit, it's not *actually* federated in any meaningful way, etc, etc... but today I uploaded a video and they now let you upload soft subtitles (vtt format), which is an awesome feature that I wish Mastodon/Fedi (and other platforms that let you share video) would adopt!

I have discovered through two hours of research that Daniel Smith's Undersea Green and Roman Szmal's Geothite are possibly the two most underrated paints in my collection. Also that QOR makes Cobalt Teal and Cobalt Turquoise and I never really understood why there had to be two, but now I get it. Add in some Manganese Blue Hue and you have every sunny sky, every roiling bit of surf, not that I can paint either but hey that's what lifetimes are for.

I found out that if I send an @-mention or a follow/boost from another server to this one while the server is off, it shows up on the other server not this one.

Not sure what to make of that behaviour. Honestly it's nice to stop the communication late at night, but it can't be great if someone with a timezone difference wants to reach out.

OTOH as long as I'm actually going to bed at a reasonable time, turning the server off stays
