What an amazing commencement address —  "Look for the person who is cruel... Over my many years in politics and business, I have found one things to be universally true: the person who is the kindest in the room is often the smartest."
College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade. Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius. It is the speech for TODAY

PSA: If you use @gstreamer on an Nvidia Jetson, please know that you can build a newer GStreamer yourself (like 1.22) and use it. The proprietary Nvidia plugins will keep working. You do not have to stick with the years-old GStreamer 1.18 that Nvidia ships by default.

I guess everyone is doing it. So here it goes. My 3 year old mastodon adress is @bilboed@bilboed.tech 🤘😎

I still remember my 6 digit ICQ number but I'm going on a limb and say that one won't be useful (nor is my fidonet adress)

If you have problematic HLS or Dash streams, now is your time to test it with @gstreamer main or 1.21.1 (gst-play-1.0 --use-playbin3) and report issues.

Giving lightning presentation on the new @gstreamer adaptive demuxers : check. Getting 2 tickets for @hellfestopenair 2023 : check. I should go back to breaking stuff now 😁🤘

I think younger me decided to write decodebin3 as a way to trigger all the most obscure bugs in @gstreamer ... Don't worry if I drink a bit too much this evening 🤣🍻

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩 Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

Hmmm... is it normal that I end up with a slight pink tint to the gnome shell UI once I color calibrated my monitor ?

After a week of GTD, I'm impressed by how effective the process is, and how beneficial it is for the morale. The fact of automatically slapping stuff to remember (even if just a few words) is the first big win. Freeing your mind of various thoughts and ideas ASAP feels awesome.

The fact of leaving the actual "processing" of those notes/ideas to a later time is so simple. You can do that when you have a clear mind and process them to "actions" (or ditch them or postpone them) which are easier to tackle when you have time.
