The QWERTY keyboard was designed to reduce mechanical jamming in early typewriters.
We kept it for computers. Which don't jam.
How many of our systems are just preserved solutions to problems that no longer exist?
And how would we even know?

Am Ende wird alles wieder Mycel...oder so...und wegen des gestrigen späten Totensonntagskonzerts hat sich der #fungday von sunday auf monday verschoben. Nun aber zum Thema: Der Fruchtkörper zum heutigen #fungday heißt Shiitake. Zusammen mit Topinambur, Aubergine und Paprika ergibt das eine erdige Pilzpfanne, die dank Sojasauce und den Basiszutaten als umami-esk gelten darf.

It’s not enough that MAGA supporters are realizing that they were conned by Trump, rightwing media, the Republican Party and foreign trolls, but the bigger issue is that X and Musk allowed that con to happen on their platform. They knew about the foreign interference.

Some helpful advice for all you software devs:
- You cannot solve social problems with code
- You cannot improve a system until you understand why it works the way it does
- You cannot produce tools for someone else without understanding how they work and what they are trying to accomplish

Tonight, for some reason, this came back to my mind. Maybe because the weather feels the same as it did back then.

I Just Want to Go Back Home | MyNotes
A single thought that deafened the noise of a new city and a new life. This is the story of a paralyzing fear, of porticoes that felt like cages, and the silent nod that changed everything. It's about finding your way back home, even when you're far away from it.

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) let me embed a MIDI you cowards!!!!
Look, we're not mad. We're just disappointed that some of y'all weren't listening last time and let this happen again.
What do you recommend?
@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) A hot bath/shower with regular lights off and just a string of fairy lights in the window, clean comfy clothes, a nice pot of tea, a heated super-plush throw blanket, and a (digital or hard copy) stack of well-written books in your favorite genre. If digital, an e-ink screen to read them on. Add non-human companions as desired.*

It's great that sites offer both light and dark mode, but why do I have to manually choose? Use `prefers-color-scheme` in your CSS, and the site will adjust to my already expressed preference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/At-rules/@media/prefers-color-scheme

When I called in https://lwn.net/Articles/963427/ @sir position as the pragmatic one, I was called disingenuous.
(And, BTW, https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9225 doesn’t seem to be finished either).
UptimeKit-CLI is production ready free and opensource uptime monitoring tool directly from your terminal. It supports continuous monitoring without needing to keep the terminal open and features a live dashboard showing status, latency, and other uptime metrics. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, ICMP Ping, and DNS monitoring. It also offers metrics like latency sparklines, P95, and a status history timeline. https://github.com/abhixdd/UptimeKit-CLI?tab=readme-ov-file
the incentive was always there but imo the ad revenue sharing thing was the single worst change to the site with cascading downstream effects
