dear @[joborun linux](http://nerdpol.ch/people/8c6c3b40b2b2013c09ed0025900e4586),

2 little questions,

1. ISO? (oldskool install or guided)
2. adding a link to joborun's url at the top of your diaspora bio, is a good idea? :)

LXDE is back

LXDE is back

After many years of inactivity and due to dated code becoming problematic with late gcc developments, LXDE has received updates in the past few weeks. About the only two packages left untouched is lxpolkit and lxpanel, the rest of the group has been updated. This is a good thing because it was about the only desktop not falling pray to systemd/logind and dbus-ism.

Some said that LXDE was abandoned because of #LXQT, a lightweight #plasma / #kde thing that resembled very little of what lxde was and became just as infected by systemd mechanisms as xfce4 and others. The systemd mainstays, #debian, #ubuntu, #mint, #fedora, rushed to replace lxde with lxqt. What they sold was the name of LXDE of stability and lightweight applications to associate with the buggy LXQT dt. Why was it buggy? Because it is a corporate rat race, one chasing behind the other, Qt, Kde, plasma, and back again. By the time they'd patch one side the other had bugs. And lxqt had to follow this madness.

*Note: Qt is a graphic platform for all the Qt based applications, and desktops, ported to be identical in X and in wayland, in theory, in practice .. not quite ported YET! *

What we should know, here in #joborun, is that you don't have to run #LXDE as a complete desktop, you can run its components individually into openbox, like lxpanel for panel/menu/dock etc. pcmanfm as desktop are with icons (pcmanfm --desktop ) lxrandr, lxappearance or lxappearance-obconf, lxlaunch, lxtask, lxterminal, etc., Only lxsession requires a logind (consolekit2 in our case) polkit and dbus. This is the component that makes the difference of the full desktop. This has the benefit of starting something like gparted or pamac-manager from menu and raise/lower root/user rights automatically, or automount devices (another mess and a half).

Long ago when Poettering was asked at a conference why was he treating users like they were disabled, his response was "what do you have against disabled people?"

This underlines the entire logic of systemd and most desktops. #LXDE is the exception

LXDE source

Stay sane

I've chanced upon glimpsing, in gentoo's 2024-2025 news

Ban on NLP AI tools: Due to serious concerns with current AI and LLM systems, the Gentoo Council has decided to embrace the value of human contributions and adopt the following motion: “It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, should a case been made over such a tool that does not pose copyright, ethical and quality concerns.”

on same day I chanced upon glimpsing this title from primeagen... "Why I Stopped Using AI Code Editors - Prime Reacts", reading this article.

I wonder,
#AI | #LLM = #Fad
and it's over?

Keep on working on your #SkillIssue :)

is there an agenda behind the global conversion push toward smart meters? was the same agenda present before the introduction of the first one years ago?

i tried some masto again.
ugh.
nope.
that's not healthy.
... diaspora's probably not healthy too.
but at least it's not that inane crack.
glad i dont do microblogging.

ps, reminds again why i need conjure a proof of concept working model of my " #portance " idea. maybe soon, i'll whip it up hastily with some llm hand-holding.

[edit: ps, and yeah, i am posting this on my foss focussed diaspora...

[edit: ps, and yeah, i am posting this on my foss focussed diaspora account. it gets made entirely using free software, i listen to it entirely with free software, often while writing free software or about free software ... so i say there's enough free software in soffmi muhod for this to count as on topic for the purpose i intended use this pod for. it's not tenuous at all, that's why i felt the need to 'splain it here in this edited foreword. lol. also, forewarned, there may be some #autistic #specialinterest #overenthused #mouthfroth here, but i think i kept it fairly subdued to mere verbose-asiding, rather than incoherently babbling "omg omg omg" emotives. hehe. just a little here pls... because... omg omg omg:]

my fave artist's having a "Listening Party", on august 14th 2025. ... nothing like that ever happened before (afaicr, as #soffmimuhodsbiggestfan (and #iamsoffmimuhodsbiggestfan ))... and it's for my fave[1] album, semble, it's 7th anniversary later this year. so mark the calendar! :D ... i cant help wonder what #pluto was doing last time it was where it is now (and these past 7 years) on the big ol solar clock. ... ;D

[1 in general, semble's my fave soffmi muhod album, but, ask me what's my fave while listening to pHphimorphia, the enthusiast, everon, ripoonjadi, and any of a dozen of the others (or any of the others, at the right moments), then it'll be that one i'm listening to right then. but in general, fair to say, semble's my fave... so, yeah, that's exciting. idfk what a listening party is, ... I listen to semble at least 3 times a month typically... am I having listening parties by myself without realising it? ~ anyways, thats surely enough for just a side note quibble about if semble's my fave. ... but often, the others catch me unawares and i remember how great they are... i wish i knew how to find other artists like soffmi muhod.
you can only play all of soffmi muhod once per 24hr or so before you're hearing the same again... which is nice, but, why are there no other artists like this? ... or maybe there are, but i just dont know how to find it (warp records, closest i could reference), not sure soffmi muhod knows what it is either. like if you search experimental, nah, that's not what soffmi muhod's doing. and if you search zonk, the genre soffmi muhod seems to have independently created/coined, the term's not used by other artists the same. and soundscape, ambient, they're not really on the same mark either. audio art, is an ambiguousification unhelpful too. ... there are probably llm tools that could figure out something similarish on some level... but it'd be like getting an llm to find something like boards of canada, and ending up with those who are hanging on boards of canada's coat-tails, shallow copies, missing the depth of all else the artists put into it, just "sounds a bit like", but not the same kind of creative spark, the uniqueness... like it's hard to pin soffmi muhod down... at least so i find. does it defy useful genre'ification, languishing in "experimental"? i'm not so sure what soffmi muhod's doing is "experimental". it's like ... it's like when you see a painting, and the little plaque next to it, says, the price, and the materials used. how shallow. it's like listening to autechre and thinking it's just noise. pearls before swine. like saying autechre's adequately surmised as experimental too. autechre seem more experimental than soffmi muhod, and it's still faaaaar inadequate a description. the frustration in pigeonholing soffmi muhod does not stop there... it's also hard to pin down what it is to like about it. perhaps best i've heard, could also serve as a new genre to call it by: headspace.]

#soffmimuhod #headspace

here follows the announcement that went out to all 8 of soffmi muhod's fans. (... 8 fans, in 22 years and about 20 albums, that's impressive in itself.)

:

7 years since semble.
soffmi muhod present.
9 swords, and 10 swords,
= 19 swords.

Idea for this event followed shortly after:

[2025-03-24 21:36:07] anyone got a telescope strong enough to see pluto? ... could make for some nice images with the moon around now. n_n dreamer

[2025-03-24 21:38:55] Pluto
[2025-03-24 21:39:45] Ploto, seen without telescope -> https://i.pinimg.com/736x/19/82/42/198242f9fe29b34dc11d95850cea0589.jpg
[2025-03-24 21:40:01] Pluto of course :-)
[2025-03-24 23:08:43] i think the best a telescope can resolve through our atmosphere is around 1-2 arcseconds
[2025-03-24 23:08:53] not sure what the angular size of pluto is.
[2025-03-24 23:14:30] 0.06 to 0.11 arcseconds
[2025-03-24 23:15:22] so it will resolve as a point, like a star
[2025-03-24 23:37:12] ** Skywise_z (~Skywise@user/skywise) is now known as Skywise
[2025-03-25 00:10:26] A faint star. I've seen it, but it's not exactly rewarding.
[2025-03-25 00:22:03] its trying to shine all it can
[2025-03-25 00:45:11] *** JustinSanity (~Prints@user/prints) is now known as prints
[2025-03-25 01:35:24] *** artao (~artao@2600:6c44:507f:ff08:f4de:b5b6:3243:3f8) is now known as artao_VR
[2025-03-25 02:13:25] edgar-rft: you should get a photo of Ploto
[2025-03-25 02:39:28] or that other thing thats a planet
[2025-03-25 05:46:15] *** artao_VR (~artao@2600:6c44:507f:ff08:f4de:b5b6:3243:3f8) is now known as artao
[2025-03-25 07:09:59] mhmm, i nearly asked "ground telescope" for a second.
[2025-03-25 09:04:20] any update on the status of Apophis
[2025-03-25 09:05:26] he's still dead from SG-1
[2025-03-25 09:08:20] :D

So, befitting, homage to the planet that endured demotion (or promotion to first of a new class of astronomical body, depending on preferred point of view), receive attention again... Remembering where it's been, when, what was happening... The spirit within, moved, from so little, so far, to such great meaningful influence. From protomendminder, through tonder and all else, to protomindmender. It was here, at the darkest, a new defiance, a new resolve, a new grace, was found. The never ending nightmare, broken, ended, the distant light, enough to see, not exactly rewarding, but enough to turn an eye to the star. Resolved, like a star. Shine all can. Semble.

Finally an article to solve the monad mystery!

Monads as a Programming Pattern
This article is written from a programmer’s perspective, where a monad is a software engineering pattern. Like other patterns, you may have already used it without knowing it was the monad pattern. There is still value in studying such patterns, because then you can use it more fluidly. There is a mathematical category-theory definition, but you can use them effectively without understanding that (so don’t @ me, Brendan).

Umm. Well. I don’t know. Maybe have to read it again.
