iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Okay so I bought a song on Qobuz and it has Apple Pay support, but I use Vivaldi on Windows. Neither of which are Apple. Apple thought about that and just had me scan the graphic on my iPhone to process the payment there. Shouldn't feel magical but it does wtf.

Installing Arch Linux for some MusicBee ppl and it's scratching a few itches in my head ngl

was it WINEHQ by any chance? That took me a bit to load on my MacBook, on Safari and Vivaldi.

If anything, the one project I would say to require an anti-AI policy would be ReactOS given its nature. Microsoft would be more than happy to sue it into death like Nintendo did Yuzu and Citra.

Someone on fedi interpreted the fuckload of vulnerability disclosures here as Linux being slopware and refusing to update as a result, lol. Opening up your server like a gaping asshole to patched vulnerabilities for bad actors to exploit to pwn the pro-AI chuds. Smartest anti-AI ideologue, lmao.

Yeah, that feature is quite general so I'm surprised there's nothing in the Linux space that has that. Some stuff I use is veeery specific to MusicBee (such as the tag hierarchy explorer) so I don't really have any wiggle room unfortunately.

glad I'm not the only one thinking this. MusicBee is... clunky, but it's still one of the best players out there on Windows. Hell, no-one on Mac is really trying, never mind Linux.

The mb_MPRISBee users found out and apparently it’s to do with how wine’s WoW64 changed memory handling. Given that I use MusicBee a lot for local music, this would be non-negotiable. No MusicBee means I literally cannot use your OS.

000

Learned that even if I wanted to I can’t use Linux, because MusicBee is flat out broken on WINE nowadays (v11.15 and 11.16)

You’d think the EBU would help CT out with the money they have in Switzerland, but nope. Similar to how a lot of the money for Moldova’s broadcaster to redevelop their infrastructure is from the BBC and Japan.

seriousness, I don't think these companies know what people want. like, who is this for? Normies will just use the regular chat, software devs will probably use an agent for some stuff, anti-AI isn't going to care (and the staunch ones are making wilder and wilder conspiracy theories)

idk I just think they'd get along

Blitz Helluva Boss stands across from Wile E Coyote Looney Tunes. Blitz says, "Sooo let's see if I got this right... First you lay out the seeds to STOP the bird." Wile nods.

Blitz goes on, "Then you grab 'em REAL tight..." He's starting to look excited. Wile nods again.

Blitz asks, "... Uhhh and then what?" Wile looks very excited, licking his lips as he produces a sign that says, "EAT HIM."

Blitz replies, "FUCK YEAH!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Eat out that birdpuss sloppy style!"

Blitz imagines eating out Stolas' birdpuss sloppy style, just as he said. Wile imagines the Roadrunner on a dinner plate, tied up so nicely in a red bow. They're both salivating and looking kinda horny about it.

Yeah. I'm hoping that things stabilise and Wayland devs act a bit more pragmatic. Even when Microsoft re-invents the wheel UI/UX wise, there's a guarantee that most (if not all) of your apps will work, while Mac hasn't really changed anything beyond turning everything into glass...

000

I'm kinda surprised that plugging an iPad into a monitor makes it a very Lite Mac.

I don't deny that Windows 11 is rough, but imo desktop Linux's got ruined by the bikeshedding over Wayland protocols in the name of privacy, while Windows and Mac simply doesn't have this (the latter being a lot more privacy conscious). And it *sucks* because X11 needs a replacement.

Emma (IPG) @invoxiplaygames.uk · 29/09/2026

Servers probably have all that already, but that isn't trickling down to the desktop. You can't just rely on humans not being fallible or idiots and this is something Arch w/ the AUR particularly has to come to terms with.

I should probably mention the time I put Linux on my parents’ PC and then the audio stopped working. The Jamiroquai meme is real.

000

Yeah I was more talking about UX. Windows didn’t even have multiple workspaces at that time. Linux got to that first iirc. Linux has been so far behind on the desktop for security especially though, and that’s been a problem as Linux becomes more viable for gaming.

210

There’s a good amount of people who went from Linux to Mac from what I seen. I guess the Unix nature of Mac makes it easy to slip in for power users and devs.

011

I should stfu about it but idk, autistic special interest plus ADHD… yeah lol

000

cw: Linux talk Linux went from being so far ahead of everybody else to being so far behind even Windows 11, and I blame Wayland and the ideological push towards Linux blocking any meaningful progress. Although, systemd is great and is exactly what Linux needs to thrive.

I went from being the autistic guy singing the praises of Linux to owning a Mac and an iPhone and singing the praises of Apple lol
