I broke my studio headphones today. I don't have the money for a new pair so I thought I might be able to repair it myself... Something inside this is bent, but I can't figure out how to get at it. I think this thing was cast in plastic 🤮
Does anyone who's done this before know if I might still be able to fix it? I think if I re-soldered it right now I'd probably only get audio from 1 ear.

Homeless woman lived inside Michigan store sign for almost a year

Police in Michigan say a startling discovery was made on the roof of a Michigan grocery store: A woman was living inside the store sign for roughly a year. Contractors who were on the roof of a Family Fare store in Midland found the 34-year-old in late April. The sign has attic-like space with a door. Inside, the woman had a computer, desk, printer and coffee maker. She was able to get power with an extension cord. Police aren't certain how she regularly got up on the roof. An officer says the woman was cooperative and quickly agreed to leave. No charges were pursued. The store's operator, SpartanNash, says affordable housing is a national issue.

I'm old enough to remember how @creativecommons was founded as a way for independent creators to safely share their work and build upon each other.

In 2024, their take is now "billion dollar companies plagiarizing your art is fair use".

Hats off to the author, you don't see that kind of, uh, skillful rhetoric chicanery every day. Like "generative AI doesn't compete with artists because artists are not in the data market". 😬

Fair Use: Training Generative AI - Creative Commons

While generative AI as a tool for artistic expression isn’t truly new — AI has been used to create art since at least the 1970s and the art auction house Christie’s sold its first piece of AI artwork in 2018 — the past year launched this exciting and disruptive technology into public awareness.  With incredible…

I've spent too much time in this life trying to figure out which sections of an image a program might or might not discern to be a bike/motorcycle/stairs/crosswalk/bus/car/traffic-light.

Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to `keepassxc-full` to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.
If people who work horrible shitty meaningless abusive jobs didn't have to work to survive, how would companies make a profit off their labor?
It would be bad for the economy.

Please please please ask someone before you try to pet their dog.

My dog has very strict boundaries when it comes to strangers, but I can't inform you if you don't bother to ask. Not every dog likes their head being touched.

Ask before touching. Always. Please.
