I have to say, my Elon Musk Public Persona Unravelling scenario did not start in earnest with "unsurprisingly turns out to be a cheat at video games".

Inoffensive playlists, which hover around the same BPM and shower you with endless vaguely danceable pop tunes, are the bane of big co-working spaces.

I'm starting to think about changing places because i can no longer stand the same 35 songs being played all day, most on the days.

Does anyone have recommendations for a co-working space in south-east or central #London?

I'm sorry, why are Rise Against tickets for their London gig 60 quid?

60. English. King. Pounds.

That's a bit outrageous.

The funniest description of Elon Musk i've read in a while:

The mind of a 12-year old edgelord in the body of a 19th century randlord.

If anyone wants to start planning food or drinks or anything else, let me know!

The Washington Post kept a count of all of #Trump's lies during his last term (a lowly 30 573 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/)

Will they be able to do that this time, now that they are owned by one of kiss-the-ring-billionnares Bezos?

He has already blocked the paper's endorsement of Harris and had their political cartoonist fired. What's next?

Why would you leave your Spotify Connect-enabled speaker available to anyone in the co-working space?

Anyway, unrelated: have you heard of this band Napalm Death?

@planifyapp The side bar thing is a setting!

"Open task in sidebar view"

This leaves the question: why is this not the default (or even only option)?

What do we gain from the other view? It feels like the app can't make up it mind about what is the right design so it fobs off responsibility to decide to the user.

Don't! Be opinionated, software!

Does anyone use the todo app @planifyapp ?

It does a lot of things well but has an inconsistent GUI, which i find annoying and frustrating.

For instance, the tasks are shown in a pretty well laid out view that pops up from the right of the app's window. Oh, but only when clicking on a pinned task or opening a search result.

Otherwise the item in the main list just expands. Why? Who knows.

The app is full of stuff like that, a shame as it is very close to being great.

Ah yes, the concept of a #jiujitsu "open mat" for members only, similar to dry water or a loving & caring fascist. I've heard of it.

The executive orders signed by the orange menace on day one are proper scary. Backwards, far-right, conservative and broadly insane stuff.

This is what a nation divided, forced to joyfully commit suicide looks like.

"I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music.” says man who has clearly never made music, has vested interest in removing skill, mastery and ingenuity from music-making.

New (to me) but unsurprising YouTube spam : fake Frozen 3 trailers, from random channels (including one "Dizney").

It could be funny if it wasn't just endless ad revenue skimming. Because everything Google is ads. Because ada are the web's original sin.

Just to check with others, #Slack is barely functional when it comes to identity, authentication and managing connections to external apps, right?

People criticize Element as being "too complicated" but Slack, the supposed reference when it comes to workplace chat, is impressively hard to work with. I don't know how many hours i've wasted to that thing, but it's far too many.

Ok donc avec #OVH, si tu ne renouvelle pas à temps l'hébergement gratuit de 100 Mo offert avec un domaine, tu perds toutes les boîtes mails associées au domaine, même si tu as bien renouvelé le domaine.

Les factures sont pas super explicites sur ce point ("Renouvellement de l'option email (10 comptes) liée Ã

l'béhergement)" mais surtout, et là c'est assez scandaleux, les mails de relance du renouvellement du service d'hébergement font zéro mention du mail et de sa suppression.

Ah bah parfait, j'ai retrouvé le formulaire de création de clés/jetons pour l'API.

Il est sur https://www.ovh.com/auth/api/createToken.

Ou sur https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/createToken/.

Ce ne sont pas les mêmes formulaires.

Très fort.

Non mais…

https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/

et

https://eu.api.ovh.com/

Sérieusement ? Y'a personne chez #OVH qui voit à quel point c'est n'importe quoi là ? Il y a quand même pas loin de 3000 personnes dans la boîte, on pourrait croire que qqn ferait remarquer que peut-être, des URL aussi incohérentes, c'est un souci.

Non mais c'est quand même à peu près imbitable le "manager" d'#OVH, on est d'accord non ?

Qui a pensé ce truc ? J'ai jamais la moindre idée d'où aller pour faire quoi que ce soit…

Servo, the web rendering engine started (and then abandoned) by Mozilla is alive and well, after looking essentially dead for a few years.

Custody has been taken over by the Spanish crew over at @igalia and the project is now under the auspices of the Linux Foundation.

The European Union should be funding this work. frankly.
