Each codebase I touch gives two truths:

0. How far I’ve come

1. How little I know anything

Anyway, genuine question: I'm considering taking the laptop I'm reviewing with me to an unused trainyard with some derelict-but-still-usable cargo train cars, so I can make photos for the review that look a bit more interesting than our coffee tables and couches.

Is that a thing I should do? Does anyone even care?

Die labern von "länger arbeiten bis zur Rente". In welcher Welt leben die? Ich schicke seit seit Monaten Dutzende Bewerbungen raus und werde nicht ein Mal auch nur zu Erstgesprächen eingeladen bevor die Standard-Absage per Mail kommt. Mit 56.

Quarter pound burgers sold in supermarkets and butchers are too fat and not wide enough. It's like having a massive meatball in the middle of a bun three sizes too big.

Wow! That looks great. Homemade.

macOS's tty impl (in the kernel) has a 1024 byte internal buffer limit for cooked mode. After that, writes succeed but the data is silently dropped. iTerm2 works around this by sleeping ~16ms between writes. My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

The only Saint I would pray to, if I prayed, which I don't.

What I wanted YouTube to do with AI: make it so I don't have to delete 50 obvious spam comments on all my videos.

What I didn't want: suggest replies to spam comments that further clutter admin UIs

This is an excellent idea! "Random site" feature for discoverability of sites with RSS feeds.

I need to give PowRSS from @enoccEnoc a closer look.

And generally look for anything and everything RSS because it deserves a comeback.

I can't wait for five years from now when there's a massive security incident and the retro boils down to "oh yeah remember that period where our industry thought 'just not caring if your code was correct' was the next big thing?" and we all just sit in embarrassed silence as we try not to think about what that means for our current security and reliability postures.

What is your favorite case convention?

Performing in West Philly Porchfest was really fun! I did an ~30 minute set, and had a small crowd who stuck around for my eclectic mix of traditional folk songs, classical, and a little jazz.

Of course I had to get soft serve afterwards.

Cishet dudes’ll be all “getta load of those cans” and then “i gotta go to the can” and they mean entirely different things and we’re all just supposed to accept them as the leaders of the world

You don't need to use weird spellings or algospeak for any topics on the Fediverse ("unalived", "seggs" etc). There is no automated moderation or algorithm on here, moderation happens entirely through human beings and posts are shown in chronological order.

In fact it's better that you use the correct spellings for difficult topics so that people with genuine traumas related to them can filter them more easily.

The fact that payment processors have been going after places like DLsite make me wonder how long Itch has before it gets weird.

Honestly it should be illegal for payment processors to deny transactions just because they feel like it. There's no legal obligation, and even the excuses people make about chargebacks doesn't seem to be the case.

This FT investigation went into it and chargebacks never came up. It basically just came down to "keeping up their image"
