I was in Walmart (an american supermarket/department store) yesterday and saw a desktop computer with a GTX 1660 Super graphics card for $800. People are selling just that graphics card alone for $800 on eBay right now.

https://colemak.academy SSL certificate has expired! Anyone know the project's developers to notify them?
I'm currently taking genealogy data off of my grandmother's old desktop with windows XP and a single core AMD Athlon 64. Would Microsoft kindly tell me why this system feels snappier than my Windows 10 workstation with 12 GB of RAM and a modern i7 processor?
Most people celebrate the end of the school year with nice, peaceful photo shoots etc. My roommate and I had a little fun with fire instead :D

If I were in charge of a primary school curriculum we would sing everyday, read books aloud, learn to garden, play outside, and probably smash computers in the afternoon
...some days I want to go full Luddite, what can I say 😅

Looking for people who regularly use screen readers to browse the web.
A dev version of #keyoxide [1] currently has 100% #accessibility score by #lighthouse [2] and 0 errors according to WAVE [3] but still I'd hope to receive some real-world feedback and ensure what I develop can truly be used by all.
Boosts appreciated.

What soundtrack or movie song instantly takes you back to your childhood?
For me the entire Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron soundtrack (specifically "Here I Am") and the Tarzan soundtrack are really special. You just can't go wrong with Bryan Adams and Phil Collins!
Fourth BSOD this month yay...
Good news is that my college career ends in three weeks and I won't need solidworks on my computer so will be able to go back to linux

I haven't tried using the DAC on the sonos board yet, but after taking this sonos speaker apart I have verified that yes, you can just use the speakers how you want.

This is getting interesting! Second consecutive quarter of decline for Google Analytics! 🔻👀
Now how do we speed up this trend and make GA collapse? 🤔👂

I have learned from experience to not trust people who emphasize Open Source with the emphatic exclusion of free software.
