  Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

  Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annual uranium production by country (2015-2024)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, did not expect mining to be concentrated on so few countries.

  Obviously, not every nation has worthwhile uranium deposits. And I guess, some nations might decide to import while that’s possible and only dip into their own mineable resources when necessary…?

  Still feels, though, like a certain trumpet could decide tomorrow to attack Kazhakstan and completely fuck the uranium supply chain in addition to the oil supply chain.

  Which, thinking about it, isn’t even too unlikely. He attacked Iran on the pretense of them supposedly building a nuke.
  If they were building a nuke, they would likely get uranium from either Kazhakstan or Uzbekistan, since those are pretty much next door.

  Oh man, don’t show this chart to the guy…

  I feel like the series presents itself as a bit too serious for the kids, too. Especially FF16 with its Game of Thrones vibes pandered to an adult audience. It just doesn’t look like the kind of simple fun that kids tend to enjoy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Abandoned FOSS projects⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything I implement at work is open source because I don’t want to wait for a purchase approval.

  Just to say, though, I feel like 99% of the software we deploy is open-source for that exact reason. Projects generally start out small, where you try to evaluate some concept. You’re not gonna spend months to go through the purchase process of some proprietary tool, if you can help it…

  I just saw this on F-Droid, will need to test it, but sounds like it could be really good: f-droid.org/packages/lu.knaff.alain.saf_sftp

  I’m hoping, it works like mounting or FUSE on proper Linux, where you can just use normal applications to transparently access network files. Then you’d be able to use any old file manager app to actually work with the files…

  You probably just misread, but just to note that SFTP is different from SMB. They’re similar in purpose, but basically competing protocols…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate audio animal repellers⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can hear them, too. The upper limit for what humans may be able to hear is around 20 kHz, so 15.5 kHz is well within range.
  Of course, not everyone can hear them. Some folks just don’t have the same range, but in particular also the older you get, the less flexible the eardrum becomes, which zaps that range, too.

  And yes, they sound fucking awful and give me instant headache, which is perhaps unsurprising as that’s literally how they deter other animals. I wish they were illegal or at least regulated to actually be out of hearing range.
