I could’ve sworn I’d used Foobar2000 on Linux years ago and now I feel like I’m experiencing a mini Mandela effect

Fascinating, thanks for sharing. I didn’t check for every one of those but surprisingly the ones I did check, VLC doesn’t support.
Apparently I should have asked if you’d tried foobar2000, because it has support for all of those, or Audio Overload, which has support for many of them.
PSF
Interesting, it appears Winamp supported PSF via a plugin that basically handled hardware emulation. I found a still open ticket from 2015 for adding support to VLC, though.
According to https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=PSF, foobar2000, which has a Linux client, has support. I’ve used foobar2000 before and it’s decent.
Audio Overload is also listed, with a parenthetical - though it’s possible that support has improved since the article was last updated (in 2019). I’ve never used it myself, though.
NSF
Per https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=NSF the same players are available, this time without a warning on Audio Overload (notably this article is from 2022). Nosefart is also listed as supporting it and having Linux support.
2SF
https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=2SF only lists foobar2000 and Winamp
Various PCM Streams
That’s a lot - and I suspect some of those are supported by VLC based off the codecs listed - but according to https://github.com/vgmstream/vgmstream, foobar2000 has a plugin for vgmstream.
VGM
https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=VGM lists foobar2000 and Audio Overload, as well as VGMPlay, which I’ve never heard of before.
GBS
https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=GBS again lists foobar2000 and Audio Overload
SPC
https://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=SPC - same deal.
What kinds of formats does Winamp support that VLC doesn’t support?
The original Switch was constantly sold out. I assume there were supply issues. It’s likely that it would have outsold the Switch 2 if they’d had the same supply.
Case in point, I have no clue what you wrote, but the intent is clear:
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
Not sure why you’ve gotten downvoted for that, as it’s part of the referenced rule and also true. Unless you’re someone who sees a word in a foreign language and has their brain turn off in response, this should be intelligible to someone who understands English and who doesn’t understand Spanish.
It helps that more than half the words are in English / are used by English speakers: Steam, Proton, Grand Theft Auto 5, Gabe Newell, Linux Mint, Microsoft, Windows, RAM, 100 FPS, 75 FPS
And the important Spanish words are easy to understand:
“Gracias” is pretty commonly understood even by bon-Spanish speakers.
“Uso Software Libre” is pretty obvious, since Libre is a term used in FOSS communities. “Uso” is the most complicated part and I suspect if I didn’t know Spanish I’d just think it meant “Use,” and “Use Libre Software!” is close enough to the intended meaning
Unless Telemetria doesn’t mean Telemetry, it’s pretty obvious.
If I blanked out all the other Spanish words I think the effect would be pretty much the same.

How is that an assumption at all? If you provide the same amount of infrastructure for bikes as for cars, then you still have half the infrastructure for cars, so people can use both / either.
And for those of us living in places where we don’t have bike friendly infrastructure, it’s useful to be able to point out that converting car infra to bike infra would have the capacity to reduce congestion, particularly if the area commits to making those changes more widely.
I’m a professional software engineer and I’ve been in the industry since before Kubernetes was first released, and I still found it overwhelming when I had to use it professionally.
I also can’t think of an instance when someone self-hosting would need it. Why did you end up looking into it?
I use Docker Compose for dozens of applications that range in complexity from “just run this service, expose it via my reverse proxy, and add my authentication middleware” to “in this stack, run this service with my custom configuration, a custom service I wrote myself or forked, and another service that I wrote a Dockerfile for; make this service accessible to this other service, but not to the reverse proxy; expose these endpoints to the auth middleware and for these endpoints, allow bypassing of the auth middleware if an API key is supplied.” And I could do much more complicated things with Docker if I needed to, so even for self-hosters with more complex use cases than mine, I question whether Kubernetes is the right fit.
Hey, Claude's "share" feature isn't very private, so I didn't want to post the link to the chat that way, and even though I only sent two messages, it was pretty time consuming to go through and pull out each thinking / code section. I could have fairly easily just extracted what's in the top level, but that wouldn't have given you much more information than my original comment.
Here's the full transcript, including Opus's thoughts, the code it wrote, and the output: https://listed.to/p/yPGvoox4M2
If you copy paste the text from there into Obsidian, the headers should be preserved so that you can collapse by section (with default settings at least - I think it relies on "Convert pasted HTML to Markdown" being enabled). The syntax highlighting will be lost unless you add the languages back in (python at first, then javascript for the rest).
If you start by collapsing everything
####and under, then that'll hide everything that is collapsed by default in the Anthropic chat interface.You can store passkeys in (and use them from) a password manager instead of the OS’s secret vault. I think most major password managers support this now - Bitwarden definitely does.

Can’t Keepass also generate TOTPs?
Proton doesn’t know that your password is 64 characters long because the hash will be the same length regardless. They also don’t know if you’ve reused your password on other sites.

Do you have two factor authentication set up? A lot of sites - Proton included - institute stricter security measures if you do not have 2FA enabled.
You have it backwards.
- Day 2 Purchase
- Day 1 “Theft”
Chronologically, the “theft” comes first. And you can easily purchase something you previously stole.
Theft is in scare quotes because piracy isn’t theft and I’m assuming OP isn’t going to actually steal someone’s Steam Deck, Switch, or Switch game cartridge… but maybe I’m wrong.
(Also you could “steal” it after purchasing it by buying on one platform and pirating it on another, but that’s a separate matter.)
This is technically accurate for me.
I was asked to use Claude Code more at work, but the project is on a tight timeline and I was concerned it would just slow me down… so I set it up with a different git worktree (basically the same git repo, but a different directory, and I can access its commits without needing to push its changes to a remote branch) running in a Docker container with the volume mounted to minimize possible system impact, and instructed it to make commits as it goes.
I did a few things to largely automate this and allow me to focus on my own work. I use conventional commits and have a post commit git hook that shares tests and specs I’ve written with it (basically branching off its latest commit, cherry picking from my own branch, then sending Claude a message telling it to merge my changes in). When all the tests are working, I do something similar but with my committed to-do file. I normally wouldn’t commit that file but I would be updating it anyway, so it’s not much extra work to add an extra commit now and then.
Otherwise I basically let it do its own thing. I think it’s up to 15 sub-agents, nearly a thousand commits, and tens of thousands of lines of code changed.
Compared to what I’ve written, that’s definitely 90% of the total code, in terms of lines changed, number of commits, etc..
To be fair, I’m not using any of the code that it writes, but my metrics are fantastic.
They might be too good, honestly. I gave a talk internally last week about my Claude Code workflow (it went well, but I did have to repeatedly mute one guy who noticed that my branch visualization only had merges into the Claude branches and they never made their way back into
main) and I got a bonus (nothing huge, just some RSUs worth low six figures that vest in two years), plus my boss’s boss’s boss was impressed and suggested I be promoted to CAO. That stands for “Chief AI Officer,” and yes, it apparently is a real thing - or will be, once the board approves my requested eight figure annual compensation package.(If you’ve gotten this far and are upset that I’m wasting tons of energy and water, you should be aware that 1. The statistics about water and energy usage on an individual level, even in cases like this one, are largely speculative and over-inflated; the most reliable statistics I’ve seen suggest that my usage is on par with driving to a restaurant once per month and eating a single cheeseburger, so to compensate I’ve cut one cheeseburger and one trip per month out, and 2. This is satire.)
While police may resent offensive words, they cannot use their authority to punish individuals for lawful, protected conduct.
Factually incorrect.
First, consider that regardless of whether they are prohibited from arresting people for insulting them, they do. Those charges are often dropped or thrown out, sure - albeit with no consequences for the police officer - but I would consider having to deal with that hassle “punishment” that they can inflict purely because of their authority.
But there’s also institutional support for an officer to punish you for lawful, protected conduct. If you upset an officer and in response, he cites or arrests you for a minor but legitimate offense that he’d have otherwise not cared about, you’re very unlikely to get that technically legitimate charge thrown out of court. It may be that police are technically prohibited from doing this, but in practice, “He only arrested me for — insert random crime here, let’s say jaywalking — because I called him a pig, said I’d engaged in coitus with his mother the previous night, and asked if he’d like to watch next time or if he had a night in with his partner’s nightstick planned” isn’t going to suffice to get the charge thrown out, even if the judge believes you, if you were actually breaking the law in question. And since pretty much everyone is breaking laws all the time, this means that as long as the police officer can find one that you’re currently breaking, you’re fucked.
Just be aware that you need a 2230 M.2, not the much more common 2280 size.
Summary of my comment: the study showed that the AI tool in question was an effective tool for the task, nothing more.
I didn’t read this particular article, but I recently read a different one about the same study. I also clicked into the study itself and read the abstract and everything else that was freely available. The study was paywalled, but as far as I could tell:
- Performance immediately displayed a sustained increase of 24% relative to baseline while using the AI tool in question
- Immediately after the tool was taken away (after using it for three months), performance was 20% lower than the baseline
- The study did not check to see what level performance returned to after three months without it, nor when it returned to baseline levels
- The study also did not compare performance drops after returning from a three month vacation
- The study did not compare performance drops when losing access to other tools
This outcome is expected if given a tool that simplifies a process and then losing access to it. If I were writing code in Notepad and using _v2, _v3, etc for versioning, was then given an IDE and git for three months, then had to go back to my old ways with Notepad, I’d expect to be less effective than I had been. I’ve been relying on syntax highlighting, so I’m going to be paying less attention to the specific monochrome text than I used to. I’ll have fallen out of practice from using the version naming techniques that I used to use. All of the stuff that I did to make up for having worse tooling, I’m out of practice with.
But that doesn’t mean that I should use worse tools.
I’m not a lawyer, but I believe that if the Lemmy instance’s ToS indicates where disputes will be resolved, and either the site owner resides there or is an LLC that is registered there, that you could sue Meta in that location.
Meta is big enough that they are most likely conducting business there (even if digitally) and you could also show that the harm suffered was suffered there.
