Hey, you had a rough week but you got through it. You deserve something nice.

Why don't you open your profile, and find two or three posts you made that you liked, and ya know... just boost yourself.

As a treat.

@hellomiakoda
There is a soft mixer feature of pipewire that effectively leaves the actual device audio at 100% all the time and adjusts the volume in software instead.

That should (in theory) prevent that, but it would probably mean a bit more energy usage. I doubt it would be enough to measure though.

If you're interested I can find more details. I have it setup in my nixOS config for one of my devices that has some odd audio issues.

@hellomiakoda
I should try that out...

@GreenRoc @dave @hellomiakoda
It isn't that intense for me luckily, but it is for my wife and in some cases it is for me as well.

It is really frustrating when you actually want to do something but that "nope" feeling has hit.

@hellomiakoda
Probably...

PDA is... weird. I know that my refusal to act on things like this isn't going to change the behavior of those who are creating these sites... but, it is the principle of the thing.

@hellomiakoda
Yup. Give me a choice, and I'll consider it. Attempt to force me, trick me, or manipulate me into something and I will do everything in my power to ensure that NEVER happens.

Is this related to PDA? I dunno.

@hellomiakoda
I hate christmas music so fucking much! The same handful of terrible songs on nonstop repeat... each version worse than the one before it.

Everyone is a fucking ear worm too...

@hellomiakoda
I feel that.

@hellomiakoda
Oh... then maybe he is just weird.

@hellomiakoda
Perhaps he only wanted it unlatched so he could find you, and now that you're on the same side of the door as him, he is happy.

"Of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for the wealthy"

I wish I had found this earlier in the month, but oh well. This seems like a wonderful way to help some folks who really need someone to show that they care.

Considering all the recent talk about violence against billionaires, it is important to remember that being a billionaire is a choice.

If someone is afraid for their life, they can simply stop being a billionaire by donating money to those who need it.

@mekkaokereke It isn't an easy step, but it is important.

I told my mom yesterday that I want no contact at all from any family that voted for Trump, and she responded as if she is confused and doesn't understand why I feel this way.

But, this is important. Family is not just genes, and people who would vote for that kind of harm aren't my family.

@mekkaokereke It says a lot about our culture and society that even with all of the evidence that white women voted for Trump, we still give men credit...

"Without religion, how can you have morals? You have no moral compass!"

Fucker, I have a mother-fucking moral GPS. Empathy, and fucking reasoning! I observe the world I live in, and I pay attention to the effects of my actions. The actions that harm others are immoral. The ones that don't, aren't.

Your moral compass is just leading you in fucking circles.

@niamhgarvey @oisin @tron @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd Same!

I'm constantly forgetting where I left my coffee, and then I'll find a random cup and drink from it thinking I just left it there a few minutes before, only to realize as I drink it that it is 3 days old.
