One of the most annoying part about dual booting Linux and Windows is pairing TWS with them.
You can't have them paired to both. Unless you follow a specific procedure which isn't straightforward.

Finally fixed it. In case anyone else has issues with pairing bluetooth earbuds with both Linux and Windows, you can use this tool.

Holy smokes. We're at 961 downloads of clipsruby! So so cool.

I just pushed version 0.0.12, adding bload, bsave, bload_facts, and bsave_facts. These methods let you load/save your constructs and facts (respectively) to/from files on your file system. Also added is fact.index, which returns the numeric index of the fact in working memory.

We're coming up on 1,000 downloads. Pretty nutty! Thanks to everyone who has tried out the gem so far :blobcatcoffee: 🙏

Do people who are pissed off by the Cheneys’ endorsement not see how much better off we’d be if many more horrendous wingnuts were similarly outraged by Trump’s hamfisted coup attempt?

Most of them were for like 5 minutes after Jan 6. Imagine if that sentiment had stuck?

Spotify needs to be investigated for Russian connections.

I know y'all may not believe me, Joe Rogan is most likely paid by the Kremlin too.

You may say, no way, a hundred million dollars is too much even for them, but I will point out that they spent about two billion dollars lobbing missiles at civilians in Ukraine last week.

They would pay billions to neuter the power of Uncle Sam and are!

Although I have been purchasing excellent music for years from #Bandcamp, helping support artists, I did not realise that A Flock Of Seagulls were on there.
Certainly purchasing their "Aurora Borealis - The Greatest Hits" album at least (well, for a start!).

Do most people automatically realise that change.org is mostly a scam and the donations they ask for are donations to their company profits?

They *claim* to be a non-profit company, but they're registered in the State of Delaware, which is a notorious scam-haven. My own anxiety about them is not so much about where donations go, but who they share my personal details with.

in reply to ideogram

I mean, enough people are apparently still donating to Nation of Change that they are making enough of a profit to keep up their scam, so nothing about stuff like this really surprises me anymore.
Ref: blog.kamens.us/tag/nation-of-c…
EDIT: It turns out they _are_ a registered 501(c)3: guidestar.org/profile/27-44967….
I'm still fairly certain they're a scam, for the reasons outlined in my blog.
Also they don't seem to have filed a Form 990 since 2022.
