Working, but I love my job: stage manager for a jazz festival!

France is 2 days away from an election which will see the Far Right grab the most seats ever in Parliament, the only question (hope really) is “will they get absolute majority or not”.

Holland fell not so long ago.

Belgium kinda holds through “sacred union” that vows to never sign an alliance with it, but at cities level it’s too late.

And Hungary is deep into it with Orban since a while now. Hungary which turn it is to lead the European Parliament (a rotating position). First political act? Go shake hands with Putin.

It’s gonna get complicated over here.

E16 was better

What’s getting old is continuously asking for a Linux Drive client. I will keep on whining about it, probably until the end of my subscription.

So it is not sarcasm. As I, too, am getting old I just tend to repeat myself. A lot.

Rien de nouveau sous le soleil quoi. Encore qu’on aurait pu penser que les vieux riches votent RN, mais j’imagine que macron est assez à droite pour eux.

Mandatory “I want a Drive Client for Linux” comment. Why should I care about features I won’t be able to access out of a cumbersome web app without even a search tool?

Also, why should I since I won’t be renewing anyway.

…sorry… work was crazy

Aw crap, completely forgot, worked another part of the building all day didn’t ever got near the exhibition rooms.

Better luck tomorrow I hope, sorry.

It does not, I know it because I have started them multiple times.

We use them as dumb players with an USB drive inserted, playing video on a loop all day long.

I’ll fetch you the ref tomorrow.

We just got 3 LG tv’s at work for an art exhibition. There’s no network available here (it’s a Napoleonic Fortress lol), and while they ask for it, dismissing all accounts/updates/online services is straightforward. You can delete all pre-installed apps (disney, netflix whatever) but LGtv and amazon. I can dig the model number tomorrow if you want.

OTOH I haven’t owned a tv since 2001.

Not a boat owner, but trained on sailboats: if you feel like it, take sailing lessons and get a feel for it, it’s fun and relaxing. I hate motorboats for the noise, the environmental impact. And it’s kinda dull.

In any case, navigation and boating in general has rules, depending on where you are you may have to get a license.

Got to your local sail club, take lessons. When you’re trained you will be able to rent boats from time to time. Almost nobody sails enough that buying is reasonable. And anchoring in a proper port means an annual fee to pay.

I have a 2-year old android 11 oppo A53, my colleague some small samsung on A10. Installs fine, sync a first time somewhat, then just don’t sync a thing.

Birds. These jerks stared 4am this morning, and their way of announcing the bird-world (and the whole planet around) their morning urge to fuck RIGHT NOW and get fucked ASAP is annoying me seriously.

A lovely, sunny morning indeed. I want to barbecue these Priapic Jerks. Or make a Quetzalcoatl carnival costume of their skin or something.

Never could get it to work with phones, and that from Arch, Mint, Asahi, Macos all sharing flawlessly between thembut no phone would reliably stay sync’ed.

" KdeConnect": Notifications, messages, clioboard sharing, link sharing, remote control of your pointing.device, keyboard, command inputs on computer… When it works it’s great, but it is hit-and-miss between distros and updates catching up.

I’m using Asahi daily these days; it is dual-boot by nature so you can rock your Linux OS everyday but still have “a macbook” (and be working on a work machine paid by your company, as should be).

I’d be using it more if the keyboard wasn’t so shit. Battery is good, screen too, processing power… really just the keyboard is wrong, wrong and wrong. Oh, and I love the touchscreen on my other laptop.

Did you guess my other machine is a Thinkpad? Yes it is. With a touchscreen!

What would be a configuration to maximize battery life?

Theatre tech. Show up on time. Sometimes shows don’t take late comers even with a bought ticket. And it’s bothering everyone else, artists included.

If the venue has a bar, stay for a drink. Like everyone else, artists (and techs) love to have a drink after a hard day at the office.

They are both on Mastodon. Lina just posted an updated list of games, there’s a ton of them
