I got hold of an old Focusrite Scarlett device, and put it to work on Linux. With a couple of caveats, it works really well. All plug&play! 🚀
Then I spent way too long writing about it. Perhaps one day it will be useful to some confused soul out there? https://blog.pablobm.com/2024/08/19/focusrite-scarlett-gen1-debian/
Por favor . ¿podéis difundir este mensaje?:
Busco en #Sabadell o cercanías, un centro de rehabilitación que admitan enfermos medulares, o alguna asociación que tenga rehabilitación.
Por favor, ayudadme, porque es muy urgente.
When folks ask me “Is this [thing] accessible?” I often respond with questions. To save time in the future and maybe help those folks with their own due diligence, I gathered those questions in a post:

una lástima que la iniciativa para cobrar impuestos a los ricos en europa apenas pase de los 260 mil firmas.

This is an example of taking something that’s true about power and instead of interrogating it, spinning it as a justification of power.
VCs are the gatekeepers of technology progress. You can’t compete with OpenAI without billions from tech bros. Does that make them geniuses or simply gatekeepers who decide who gets to be the disruptor? 🤔
One thing I'd like non-admin users to understand:
If you see a person being dogpiled by bigots: don't immediately assume their instance admins aren't doing their job.
Here at strangeobject.space we subscribe to Tier 0 blocklists.
We also communicate with other admins regularly to keep abreast of bad actors.
We also contribute to an example off-site shared blocklist.
And I've been blocking racist, transphobic and unacceptable-paraphilia instances all week. And individuals.
We don't have tooling. We have a hashtag, and word of mouth. We have the reports from our users who've had to witness awful shit to bring it to our attention.
It can be a full time job and new instances are made all the time.
And when we mass block those instances as a community, they just make more. Users make new accounts to evade us.
And: some of you who are blaming it on the victims admins, are existing on poorly moderated instances.
The shit does not stop, and we don't have the tools.
It’s been a minute since I have been in the #mastodon world.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 clear cell renal carcinoma. I’m 32 years old and soon to be 33. I was given the “go home and don’t come back convo” from my oncologist which is great.
My first scans on May 31st were clean, and my next ones are October 31st. Would love to connect with other #cancer folks here if there are any.
If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s fine, but boost if you can ❤️👏🏻❗️

Millions of linux users around the world had their productivity crippled by #cloudstrike as they all rushed to read the news, post hot takes & dad jokes to their Mastodon feed.
Metalhead, aspiring bass player, wannabe SJW. Web development pays my bills. Happy to pay more tax in exchange for functioning public services.
