So many sound issues on OpenBSD.
Firefox YouTube audio plays, but if I pause a video and then resume, the audio is gone until I use the YouTube mute/unmute function.
Neither the regular nor the pulseaudio Xfce4 audio plugins do anything.
Settings in mixerctl all seem correct, but it's a little overwhelming so I may be missing something.
Is there some setting I need to enable with sndioctl or whatever to pass control to Xfce?

I have a laptop that's way too new for NetBSD, and OpenBSD doesn't support its Intel BE200 WiFi chip.

I don't want to bring the mood down even further, but Patrick Stewart did ruin his first two marriages by cheating on his wives with much younger women. His third marriage was to a woman 38 years younger than he was.
We've called people creeps for less. Just think of all the DiCaprio memes.

Editor’s note: This is an English translation of an interview originally published on FabScene, a Japanese web media outlet covering hardware, digital fabrication, and maker culture. Context has been added for readers unfamiliar with Japan’s electronics scene.
A translation is a work of art. If you do actually get a real translator - and it seems they actually did here - name them. Credit them.
I know I'm fighting a battle long lost, but as someone with two university degrees in translation, translating is an art form. Not crediting the artist is, at best, lazy, and at worst, theft and plagiarism.

I love my GNOME developer friends but I do actually firmly believe this. Theming is accessibility, and any desktop environment not embracing it is shooting itself in the foot (heh). It is impossible to accommodate every user's colour, iconography, etc. needs, and that's where theming comes in.
I would not be able to use GNOME without being able to change its icon set. I am thankful that hasn't been removed yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they'd like to.

Cocaine makes me more productive. My productivity went 10x when I started doing cocaine. I snort with care and make sure my cocaine is as ethically produced and supplied as possible. With cocaine I can do the menial tasks much quicker, giving me more time to focus on quality. Cocaine also has improved a lot lately. It's not the same cocaine as just a few months ago. You're free to not use cocaine, but you'll be left behind as everyone around you will be using it to be more productive than you. Cocaine is the future.

There has been an uptick in slopcoded new/hobby "operating systems" lately. Such slopcoded projects - which, due to the nature of "AI" tools, effectively consist of stolen code - will not be featured on @nprofile…ewcz and submitting them is fruitless.
Other websites may choose to employ lower standards, as is their prerogative, but OSNews will not. I obviously cannot guarantee nothing will ever slip through the cracks, but I will take utmost care to ensure OSNews remains free of so-called "sloperating systems".

@nprofile…79r0 Aligns pretty well with my shitty application for @nprofile…ewcz funding which was sent in specifically to start a conversation about the importance of independent, non-advertising, non-"AI" news websites in the tech space. Not many of those are left, and we need them to tell people about the kinds of efforts NLnet supports. Tech news media owned and/or beholden to big tech isn't going to talk about those efforts.
That being said, my application is exceptionally shitty and won't be taken seriously in the "will he get the funding?" kind of way, but I do hope it manages to start a conversation.

"I would donate to @nprofile…ewcz if Thom wasn't so rabidly anti-'AI'" sure is a vibe.

Big fundraiser for @nprofile…ewcz, in honour of my 21 year tenure and 20000th post. Since my wife can barely work due to health issues (caused by her work, ugh), my family has to rely on my income much more heavily. And that means OSNews donations.
https://ko-fi.com/thomholwerda/goal?g=2
I've also got a few fun incentives:
Make me use Windows 11
A photo/video tour of my office and all my computers/devices
Make me use (and review) macOS
A tattoo of the OSNews logo (my first tattoo) on my shoulder
More details:

Anyway, that last nazi we executed, Andries Pieters, was one of the worst nazis to have ever existed. Let that sink in. The guy performed the most horrid forms of torture you can imagine upon Dutch resistence fighters. The fact that the last death penalty ever performed in The Netherlands was this nazi in particular has a strange aura of poetic justice to it.
The Netherlands abolished the death penalty in 1870, but reinstated it in 1945 specifically to deal with nazis. We executed a mere 39 of them.

2026-05-12 19:45:08 UTC

Nazi terrorist attacks in The Netherlands are a daily occurence now.
It seems that after we executed the last nazi on 21 March, 1952, we forgot how to deal with them.

Any idea for threshold incentives? What about forcing myself to use macOS on a MacBook Neo or whatever for a month and also l'm only allowed to post positive thoughts about it? I'm also thinking of the ultimate incentive being an OSNews tattoo on my shoulder, but l'm not sure if I'll keep that for 10k or perhaps as a stretch goal.

They may have networked drones and killer robots but we have trans people with ten year old ThinkPads so honestly it's not even close to a fair fight.

People who aren't translators think translation is just simply substituting words from one language to those of another. Translators know better. It's an art, a craft, a complex, multidisciplinary skill.
Why are so many programmers the exact opposite? Why do they value their own craft so little that they enthusiastically convince themselves autocorrect can do it? That there is no art, no joy, no expression in the creation of code?
Is this why software has been getting worse for like two decades now? Have programmers forgotten they're artisans, not robots?

The most insufferably European thing I've ever done is trying to force myself to switch to metric time. I set up a metric watch face on my WearOS watch at the time.
It is literally impossible. It cannot be done. The human brain cannot comprehend metric time.

Since I have two university degrees in translation I can spot a bad translation from light-years away. Translation is often brought up as the perfect example of an excellent "AI" use-case, but let me tell you - you people have no fucking clue how incredibly bad "AI" translations are. It's an absolute shitshow. Every single one.
People who claim "AI" translations are good know not either the source or the target language, so how in the fuck do you know the translations are good? Tell me, motherfucker. TELL ME.

@nprofile…f2ay It's definitely made my job less pleasant. When I see a cool new project I want to report on now, I need to first do all sorts of checking - sometimes based on nothing but vibes - to see it's not slop.
Really saps enjoyment out of uncovering cool stuff.

Apple displays finally move beyond 60Hz, but only if you have an M4 Mac or newer.
I'm powering a 160Hz 4K display with a GPU from 2019. 😂

As a country built on old money brutally and violently extracted from its former colonies, The Netherlands is simply physically incapable of properly raising taxes on wealth. We just can't seem to do it. Raising taxes on labour is no issue, but on wealth? That's impossible.
It will be the death of us.
