You could never release Blazing Saddles today because most of the actors are dead

Looks like I'm going back to Bird UI by @rolleRoni Laukkarinen as so many other themes for Advanced Web View are now out of date and badly broken for the new Mastodon 4.4.0 update.

I really wish we had more options for themes, but there only seem to be 2 - 3 that are regularly maintained.

My compiler told me the parser keeps consuming their tokens so I asked how many tokens they have and they said they just go to GitHub and get a new source file afterwards so I said it sounds like they’re just feeding open source code to a parser and then their subprocess started crying

"... our reporting has led us to three unavoidable conclusions. [...], Netanyahu’s approach to Hamas helped to strengthen the group, giving it space to secretly prepare for war.

Well, that was a fun episode 30 to make with @firesidefedi — had a fun time doing one of my first audio/video interviews in probably a decade or more.

I needed to do a word count on a PDF the other day (my work is so exciting).
It opened in Adobe Acrobat, and its AI thing popped up, wanting to help.
I had planned to copy paste the text into a 'word count' website, but this AI was asking what I needed, so I asked.
646 Words, it told me.
Fam, there were 512 words in that document. It wasn't even *close*.
How did we break computers so badly that they can't even count anymore 😢

모기도 목이 탄다···폭염·마른장마에 서울선 10년새 ‘반토막’ www.khan.co.kr/article/2025... 서울이 너무 더워서 모기가 살기에도 적합하지 않은 환경이 되었다고. "모기도 열사병에 걸린 모양새다. 최근 서울의 한낮 최고기온이 37도에 육박하는 등 폭염이 이어지고, 밤에는 열대야가 지속되자 모기가 활동하기 어려워졌다. 모기는 25~28도에서 가장 활발히 활동한다. 기온이 높아질수록 수명이 짧아지고 32도를 넘으면 살기 어려워진다."

I now have a working Game Boy character controller where the D-pad causes a little box to move freely around the screen. That's not really something I needed, but it's now something I have.

As you perhaps can see above, I'm developing this in my own macro language, which theoretically means when I move to the next bit I can introduce high-level abstractions, but only if I change the language to add macros. I need to learn what a "quasiquote" is I guess.

Doc: "Can you rate the pain 0 to 10?"

Me: "well let me state for the record that I've witnessed a woman give birth so if that's a 10 I'm unlikely to rate any pain I'm experiencing, no matter how intense, higher than around an 8."
