Annoyed that a website is doing something custom on right-click?
Did you expect the browser's context menu (Back, Reload, Save Page As, View Source etc.)?
Just hold the ⇧Shift key while clicking and Firefox will show the built-in context menu.
Edit: I had no idea this was such a widely appreciated post. Credit where credit is due: @dveditz told me about this trick a couple of months ago.
Every single time I need to do something a tiny bit custom in meson I end up in a rabbit hole of frustration, many tickets opened by other developers which a similar issue/request and many years pass with the situation unchanged...
The latest:
1. be able to specify a subdirectory for an output file https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2320
2. be able to use exe-wrapper during build https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/11029 (it is only supported for tests)
so I need to hack my way around the build system yet again 😭
185 CI builds, and this is not the final form yet

last month at #ubuntuSummit I have given a talk about how the ongoing debacle of #AI in art exist in larger context of the problem of ownership in art,
and how reformulating the issue can help us start solving it.
The video of the talk is now up.

Imagine a world where survival isn't tied to your job. No strings. No prerequisites. Just a birthright. #BasicIncome. Enough money to live. Healthcare when you're ill.
Jobs? They should be about passion, fulfillment, not simply a way to pay for survival.
Let's rethink the way we live.

50 things you did not know you could do with #ardour in 50 mins!
The video of my presentation is now available at: https://discourse.ardour.org/t/50-things-you-did-not-know-you-could-do-with-ardour/109555
How many of these didn't you know about?
What's your favorite Ardour features that I've missed?
I feel like I should write another patreon update, we are getting to the end of the 2023 and it has now been near 1 year since the last update.
Life situation is just as uncertain as before though... hard to give updates when I dont know myself how things are going to be.
At least a small retrospective should be possible, skipping on any sort of future plans for now.

I somehow missed the newest release of #PeerTube yesterday. v6 looks like it has some really cool new features that make using more proprietary platforms less and less necessary. I love seeing this!
Ubuntu Summit 2023 videos are live now, here is mine for "Making a Standalone Effects Pedal System Based on Embed Linux"
Enjoy!

Poverty shouldn't exist. For anyone. Ever. Too often I hear 'No one with a job should live in poverty.' True. But let's go further. No one should live in poverty, job or not. Jobs should be a ticket to more than just survival.
Think thriving, not surviving; buying fun, not life.

I get a lot of questions about my Linux voice chain! Here's what it looks like~ 🎤
It all runs on Carla on my M2 streaming machine next to OBS and Inochi2D! All the plugins are from the LSP, x42, and Calf packs (except DragonFly which is stand-alone), all open source!

how come we have a 🎸 emoji but not a :bass: emoji? ridiculous!
I just got a BASS 😀
No, I don't know how to play. This is for having something music related to do that does not involve being on the PC.
Why a bass? Well it is unconditionally and objetively the best string-based instrument, specially when slapped.

Microsoft paid money for this. A lot of money. And they gave it to us for free.
Found a workaround for my online banking woes... run the iOS app on a M1 mac mini machine!
Needs an Apple account, which personally I think is better than a Google one (which I no longer have and do not wish to have).
The iOS ecosystem is very closed down, so no iPhone/iPad whatever for me thanks (lets see what they do after the EU thing passes).
It is a bit of a weird setup and the shitty app even wants biometric data for some things.
But the main tasks work, can do transfters again lol 😅
