What's up with me? (you most probably didn't ask) #introduction

I'm in my fourth decade, located somewhere in the old world. This account is a splinter of my presence in the fediverse (although my only other account has a really low profile, with a handful of followers -- 16 as yet).

I dabble in #programming, I hack on #opensource stuff and occasionally suffer through the PR process. I try to help people close to me by #selfhosting.

I have academic interest in paganism and witchcraft.

Gonna try to leave this account behind — and try to migrate everyone, dear followers, to the new home

Please bear with me

So, I have this cord (usb connector end of an Xbox 360 wireless game pad receiver) which was getting difficult, as in the receiver would only power on if the cable directly attached to the plastic usbA connector body was at a certain angle, which would suggest some damage inside the cord itself

And that ended today — not powering on at all in any position

I’m considering some #electronics surgery on the cord, just so I could possibly resolder the connector on a sane piece of cable but there’s this bulging thing 2 cm from the connector, which looks important but doesn’t leave much length to work with on my resold set adventure.

Anyone could explain what that round bit is, if it is important (I guess it is) and if I’m not taking on a too dangerous operation as a profane (ie would I risk making it more difficult to repair if I fail)

Pas forcément très au fait du YouTube game mais euh, ok, on est de gauche* mais on vire full faf pour « sauver la Fronce », je l’avais pas vue venir

*pas de gauche

Funny* how some, not all, bad interactions make me want to burn this account down…
* not funny

So it’s been a few months that YouTube shorts are out, and oh boy it’s hilariously bad, like

You don’t get to choose what’s coming next, so it’s exactly like watching tv, and

The content is absolutely dreadful, like half of it is either Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan interviewing Elon Musk, random scenes from some boring marvel movie captioned « badass », Minecraft footage from a 9 year-old or Red Dead redemption cut scenes

The other half is TikTok memes

And I swear, my normal algorithm-flavoured feed is nothing like that… wow

Still maintaining my hit list, I’m sure there are so many more, but I think these may be the überlords

Tellement crevé hier soir je me suis endormi en sursaut

ptet que je passe pour celui qui fait l'intéressant, mais le parti de Zemmour s'appelle Reconquète en écho à la Reconquista espagnole, pour bien enfoncer le caractère anti-islam de sa plateforme hein

Using the official #mastodon app so I don’t see other people’s toots and don’t get worked up by stuff

*doesn’t forget to set privacy to world this time, might forget next time*

Official mastodon app is not the worst client out there but imo it’s in the bottom half. Missing content is a deal breaker. Even those clients which haven’t been updated in more than a year do a better job than the year-old official app in virtually every respect (including visuals)

As it appears on the official #mastodon #iOS app

There are no options for setting the default privacy scope

Has someone figured out why the official app is missing half of the toots from every thread? Comparing with other clients, lots of missing toots in official that are present in every other client…

Since « there is no algorithm » I’ll assume it’s a bug, albeit one that has been since the first release. Cool, unusable stuff.

Redrafted: wow it even posts as followers only by default but it’s not clear it does !!!
